ChiefHassanacif Posted Sunday at 06:03 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:03 PM I have been testing trussnote for the last few days and was curious whether anyone else here has used it. Interested to hear honest feedback and how it compares with your current workflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para-CAD Posted Sunday at 07:00 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:00 PM Are you affiliated with trussnote? I’ve never heard of it but I am going to search it up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted Sunday at 08:02 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:02 PM I compared it with a sharp stick in the eye. So far the stick is winning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHCanada2 Posted Sunday at 08:17 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:17 PM (edited) i was just about going to ask if I get a money back guarantee, and then I saw this: Always cross-reference the output with the official municipal code for permit submissions. The analysis is designed to accelerate your research, not replace the final legal review. ...never heard of a "legal review", but regardless what it looks like is a AI tool that summarizes the zoning bylaws for a specific zone. My brother just tried a different AI on the city's feedback on his proposal, and I would say it gave a decent start, but certainly not anything "intelligent". I.e. the City has a statutory document that states that for lots that are more than 20% slope, it needs geotechnical, but he AI is not intelligent enough to figure out from the survey what the lot slope is to see if the rule applies Edited Sunday at 08:18 PM by SHCanada2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i am not sure if it works for the CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team who build it requested me if I can have more beta testers for them, they just keep extending my trial on that tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHCanada2 Posted Monday at 04:16 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:16 PM sure I'll try it out on my brother's. send me the beta link. At a few hundred dollars a month, one question I would have is what to I get better than a generic AI, standardized forms maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefHassanacif Posted Monday at 05:32 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 05:32 PM (edited) Look, I am not telling you to buy it. I have tried it on my projects, and it gave me results far better than generic AI, likely because their models may be trained around our industry. I personally only work on projects within the U.S., and it provides a solid baseline for us to start with, especially the project strategy tool. Just go to https://www.trussnote.com/sign-up Once you have signed up, let me know your business name or full name, and I will have them approve your access Edited Monday at 05:49 PM by ChiefHassanacif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not suggesting you are...just trying to find out the differences that make an impact. If you saw some worthwhile differences, that is good enough for me to give it a whirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X17, but around 90% of our projects are now done in Revit. I may need occasional Chief Architect assistance, as we have recently had a few clients specifically requesting help with Chief, and it is not our strongest area.
