## What is Ask Donnie?

Ask Donnie is your AI construction estimator, building-code expert, and project back office.

• Ask anything — codes, materials, methods — and get clear answers with real code citations, scoped to your jurisdiction.
• Drop a plan — scan blueprints with the camera, pick a photo, or import a PDF — and Donnie reads the scope and returns a full, priced estimate.
• Record meetings — lay your iPad on the table; get a full transcript with speaker labels and an AI summary (decisions + action items), filed to the right project.
• Run the job — RFIs, change orders, submittals, daily logs, punch lists, CPM schedule, cost control, closeout, and project dashboards. Level competing bids in seconds.
• Estimates, invoices, and projects — create, track (draft to sent to paid), and share professional PDF/Excel documents.
• White-label branding — put your company name, colors, and logo on every deliverable.
• Built for the trades — tune Donnie to your trade, units, tone, and preferred brands/suppliers.

Membership unlocks watermark-free white-label documents, higher limits, and a monthly wallet allowance. A prepaid wallet covers AI usage; top up anytime. Free to start.

Donnie is AI assistance to verify — always confirm critical details with your local building department (AHJ) and a licensed professional before you build.

A whole new look, and a lot more app. Donnie now wears the same navy-and-gold interface as donnie4i.com, so the app and the web feel like one product.

New in this release:
• Order an AI plan redline from your phone — the issues marked right on the drawings, plus a cited findings report.
• 23 exact construction calculators: concrete, framing, roofing, tile, stairs.
• Dictate a scope walkthrough — Donnie turns it into text you review before sending.
• Bring your own estimate in from a spreadsheet, and pull the requirements out of a spec section.
• Progress billing: AIA-style pay applications and lien waivers.
• Share a job with your client through a revocable, read-only portal link.
• Teammates and roles, plus API keys, pricing calibration, and an accuracy scorecard on your account.

Plus the usual round of polish and reliability fixes.
