About this app

CodeBuddy is a code-compliance assistant for the trades, built by veterans and tradespeople. Ask a question, show it what you're looking at, or talk to it hands-free, and get answers that point back to the code or standard they came from.

CHAT WITH YOUR SPECIALISTS
Each Specialist knows a set of codes and standards for a trade or a place. Ask about clearances, sizing, protection, or anything else on the job, and the answer shows the sources it used. When there isn't enough to go on, it tells you instead of guessing.

INSPECT WITH YOUR CAMERA
Start a live inspection and point your phone at the work, or upload photos or a short video. CodeBuddy points out what to check and possible problems, tied to the relevant code sections. Export an inspection as a PDF report to share with your crew or client.

HANDS-FREE VOICE
Talk to CodeBuddy while your hands are busy, on a ladder or in a panel, instead of stopping to type.

LOCAL AI, NO SIGNAL NEEDED
On supported Android phones (6 GB of memory or more), download Local AI and the Specialists you use, then ask questions in basements, tunnels, and remote sites with no connection. Local AI is free.

THE CODES THAT APPLY WHERE YOU WORK
CodeBuddy keeps track of your jurisdictions, so the codes and standards for the place you're working are the ones it uses.

CALCULATORS (BETA)
Transformer, voltage drop, conduit fill, box fill, and residential service calculators. They run on your phone and are free. They are in beta, so always double-check the results against your code book.

WORK AS A TEAM
Invite people to your workspace by email or with a join link, and switch between workspaces when you work with more than one company.

PLANS
- Free workspace: get started at no cost.
- Plus: $79.99 a month for 3 agent hours each month.
- Need more time? Buy an extra hour any time as a one-time purchase. Hours you buy don't expire.

Plus is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Google Play account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Google Play subscriptions.

Terms of Use: https://codebuddy.chat/terms
Privacy Policy: https://codebuddy.chat/privacy

CodeBuddy uses AI, which can make mistakes. Always check answers against the official code and your authority having jurisdiction. It does not replace a licensed professional or an official code interpretation.
Code answers with their sources, from chat, your camera, or your voice.

What’s new

A faster first run: one tap to agree, a "Ready to check against" card before your first check, and a hint on the camera. "Usage" instead of hours, a usage meter on Me, a new Crew page, and a free trial screen for Plus. New inspections start with every Specialist off, so you pick what to check against.
