Common questions

Can I trust the wording it drafts for a certificate or safety notice?

Treat it as a first draft only — never as a finished document. It speeds up the writing, but you remain responsible for checking every word against the relevant standard and signing it off yourself.

What if it uses outdated or incorrect regulatory language?

This is the main risk with this task. AI is not a compliance tool and doesn't know your state or current standard. Always cross-check any wording it uses against the actual document requirements before the paperwork goes out.

Will it know which standard applies — AS/NZS 3000, the state rules, local authority requirements?

No. You need to tell it what standard or requirement the document must satisfy. It drafts plain-English wording based on what you describe; checking compliance is your job.

Does it file or lodge anything for me?

No — it only drafts the text. Lodging, signing and submitting paperwork stays exactly as you do it now.

What about customer-facing safety notices — can it get those wrong in ways that matter?

Yes, which is why you always review carefully. A safety notice that uses imprecise wording could cause confusion or create liability. Draft with AI, then read it line by line as you would any document you're signing.

Is this useful for defect notices and variation-from-standard documentation too?

Yes — describe what the defect or variation is and what the document needs to communicate, and it'll draft the customer-facing wording. You check it against the required format and sign.
