STAY CONSISTENT WITH LESS FRICTION Set multiple reminders, check in from interactive widgets, and build Shortcuts or Siri automations for the routines you repeat every day. UNDERSTAND YOUR PROGRESS See current and best streaks, consistency metrics, totals, averages, and daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly charts.

Tech-specific AI that helps Trades & Technicians fix and install almost anything, fast, with answers backed by real manuals. Includes AI tools & cheats to make your life on the job easier: answers from 1000's of manuals in seconds, job notes / site reports you just talk into, and missing parts tracked down quickly. Super Engineer also makes you smarter via short sharp on-the-job skills training. It'll even find your closest burger or bacon sandwich when you're hungry! Ideal for contractors, electricians, plumbers, facility managers, HVAC, fire & security technicians - any Tradesperson. Super Engineer is a sparring partner for qualified trades, not a replacement for one. Always check the manual and your local regs before working on gas, mains or fire kit. Work quicker and smarter with Super Engineer in your pocket. HYPER-DETAILED TECHNICAL ANSWERS Insane-level technical guidance, including forum and YouTube references, and page-specific instruction manual citations (so you don't have to find the manual yourself) LOCALISE & PERSONALISE TO YOU Choose your location, language & profession, and get help tailored to you, including pointers to the standards used where you work. You're the pro, so always double check the current regs ;-) GET ANSWERS FROM PHOTOS Take a photo of a piece of equipment and ask a question e.g. What's this? or How do I make this work? JOB NOTES IN SECONDS Open Notes in your Brain, talk through the job and snap your photos. Tap Sharpen and our AI turns what you said into a clean job note / site report with the to-dos pulled out, ready to share with a link. IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS AS YOU WORK Switch on Coach in Rocket Fuel and get bite-sized, manual-backed quiz reps to keep you sharp. Daily sessions need Pro. TURN SKETCHES INTO NEAT DRAWINGS Snap a rough sketch and ask Super Engineer to redraw it as a clean, labelled drawing or layout. Handy for quick floor plans and job notes. Drawings are illustrative, not to scale. SOURCE MISSING PARTS EASILY Parts Scout searches your favourite distributors and nearby stockists, then shows you where to get the part and the closest branch to grab it from. NINJA MODE Solve really complex technical issues with Ninja Mode. Multiple AI agents all working at once to solve your specific problem. WORK ON A SITE REGULARLY? Use Site Lock to lock your questions to a site you visit regularly. Save the site's equipment once (make, model, where it is) and every answer takes it into account. You can tag your job notes to the site too. PRIVATE BRAIN & WORKSPACES Go Pro for your own Private Brain. Upload your manuals, procedures and site docs and get answers from them alongside the Community Brain. Part of a company workspace? Sign in and your team's shared Brain comes with you. Private documents are only used to answer you and your team, never shown to other users. DON'T TYPE, JUST TALK Tap the mic and talk. Super Engineer turns your words into text for your question or job note, so there's hardly any typing. Give it a quick check, then hit send. DESPERATE FOR A COFFEE? Hood Hunter searches local maps, ratings and the web to find you the best brew nearby (or whatever snack you need!). Simply ask 'I need a coffee!'. Ask for a bacon sarnie and it turns into Bacon Bot ;-) MEME MODE Send WIN / FAIL / HAPPY CUSTOMER memes to colleagues to celebrate (or commiserate) a job's success (failure!). PRO-GRADE ASSISTANCE FOR TRADES Whether it's handling a new piece of equipment, finding you that perfect morning snack or sourcing a missing piece of kit, Super Engineer's AI is there to make your life easier ;-) FREE TO START Start free, then upgrade in the app when you need more. Private Brain and daily Coach need Pro. Terms of Use: https://www.superengineer.com/terms-of-use-row Privacy Policy: https://www.superengineer.com/privacy-policy
