These are the words and features you'll run into as you use CompanyCam, explained in plain language. Not sure what something's called? Search the word you'd use for it. We've tried to include the terms crews actually say.

An AI Action is a task you have CompanyCam's AI do for you, like generating an AI Page from your photos or building an AI Checklist by voice.

AI Checklists let you build and complete a Checklist just by talking. Say what you need, and it creates the tasks and sections for you, and you can check items off by voice while your hands are full. You can also turn an existing document or an AI Walkthrough into a Checklist. Some folks call this voice-to-checklist.

AI credits are your plan's allowance for AI features. They set how many AI Actions you can run.

AI Pages use AI to turn your Photos and their descriptions into a finished, editable Page in seconds, so you're not writing it up by hand. You'll find them under AI Templates when you create a Page. The types are:
