AVbuilder

Treat it as a prototype. It's a place to experiment, iterate on a draft, and work through a room quickly — real SKUs, real compatibility checks, real cable routing — but it's a starting point for your process, not a stamped deliverable.

Yes — generated designs are checked for display sizing (AVIXA DISCAS), NEC conduit fill and circuit load, rack space and power, amplifier load, network bandwidth, and budget. When ADA §219 applies (a commercial assembly space with amplified audio), an assistive-listening system is added to the BOM. That said, this is AI-assisted: it can still hallucinate or miss edge cases, so a human needs to validate the output before it leaves your desk.

AVbuilder is AI-agnostic. We use the best model available for each task, benchmarked weekly against our internal gold-standard designs. Current stack includes Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini, and xAI Grok. Model selection is invisible to you — you just get the best output.

As a starting point, yes — you'll see where the design came from and which rules validated it. It's not a substitute for a licensed integrator signing off on commercial work. Treat it as an accelerated first draft.

No — AVbuilder doesn't have jurisdictional knowledge of specific building codes beyond NEC. Local inspection and permitting is your responsibility.

It's built from manufacturer spec data and updated periodically, not on a fixed schedule. If a model you need is missing, send it through the feedback button in the design workspace — it gets reviewed for the catalog, with no guaranteed turnaround.
