On today's episode, I 33 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,599 want to talk a little bit about something that we 34 00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,120 put out. 35 00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:01,599 Speaker 2: It's probably about a year old now. 36 00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:04,799 Speaker 3: It's really popular, a lot of people are using it, 37 00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:07,400 and so it's been a while since I've talked about 38 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,159 the benefits of it, and so we're going to do 39 00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,280 that today. So it's going to sound a little bit 40 00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:13,960 of salesy, but I do want to talk about the 41 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,319 real benefits of it and why you need it, and 42 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,520 hopefully that helps you out and you can make your decision. 43 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,800 You can also try it for free over on the 44 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,520 website and see what it does for you, gives you 45 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,840 a couple, you know, like two searches that you can 46 00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:31,680 do or two chains of thought that you can do 47 00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:34,680 per hour. So again, if you want more than that, 48 00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:38,240 you gotta subscribe, but we give you a taste and 49 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,039 that's trade hog. 50 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,199 Speaker 2: So trade hog. 51 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 3: Is a program that we created in house using all 52 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,800 of the popular AI models that are out there brought 53 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,280 into one. And then what's done is it inside of 54 00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:57,520 software that we have. We have tailored it to be 55 00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:02,120 very specific to the electrical, plumbing, mechanical, all types of 56 00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:06,159 trades in order to be able to utilize in the field. 57 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,599 And what we've also done is we've optimized it for 58 00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:11,960 use on a mobile device, but it can obviously be 59 00:03:12,039 --> 00:03:14,639 used on a tablet, so that when you're in the 60 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,199 field and you have a question on something and you 61 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,599 know whether it's a code question or an installation application 62 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000 best practice question or anything like that, then all you've 63 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,680 got to do is go do tradehog dot com or 64 00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:33,240 dot net or dot org, it doesn't matter, all of them, 65 00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:37,400 point to the same foundation and just do your search. 66 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: Type it in there. 67 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 3: You can even take a picture and attach a picture 68 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,439 or something like a maybe a nameplate on a piece 69 00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:50,520 of equipment and ask for more information. But mainly you 70 00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:53,479 just type in what you want to know and try 71 00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:56,400 to be as specific as you can, and it will 72 00:03:56,479 --> 00:03:59,879 bring back results. It will tell you and if something 73 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,080 you know what, nothing's going to take the place of 74 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,039 your knowledge. So if something doesn't look like well it's 75 00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:08,360 not giving me all the details I want, then you 76 00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:11,439 ask it a follow up question. And it's a learning model. 77 00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:14,759 It continues to learn and it helps our our model learn. 78 00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:19,800 And so trade Hog was specifically designed. It was one 79 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,680 of my pet projects that we were going to use 80 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,040 in house. It takes advantage of AI. We take care 81 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,160 of all that on the back end. We pay all 82 00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:30,399 the fees, and we do all the mixing, We do 83 00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:33,279 all the singling out when it comes to Gronk and 84 00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:37,199 the AI models, Chat GPT. 85 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: But we make it so that it's affordable. 86 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,439 Speaker 3: For example, we have an option where it's just nine 87 00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:44,720 dollars and ninety five cents a month, or you can 88 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,879 do it annually like one hundred and five dollars a year. 89 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,120 Gives you all the benefits of the Chat, GGP and 90 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,680 Gronk all combined into one. But it's been tailored to 91 00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:59,199 very very specific for your trade application. So if I'm 92 00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:01,399 an electrician, I'm in the field and I see something, 93 00:05:01,399 --> 00:05:04,199 I want to ask a question about something, and I 94 00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:06,319 want to code reference, maybe I'm an inspector. 95 00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: Then all you've got to do is ask it. 96 00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:11,199 Speaker 3: And if something comes back and you want to dig 97 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,199 a little deeper into it, or you're using knowledge that 98 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,639 you may already have and you want to confirm something, 99 00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:19,079 or maybe you just want to ask it a more 100 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,800 thought provoking type of question, you can do that and 101 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,240 it will learn and continue on what it's the discussion is. 102 00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:30,560 So that's an interesting concept and it was designed again 103 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,199 for people to use in the field in the trade. 104 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,759 Now there's different levels of a membership in trade hog. 105 00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:43,439 Speaker 2: The very Light is a very basic one. 106 00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 3: Basically gives you a certain number of searches per hour 107 00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:50,519 or chains of thought per hour, and that's very limited use. Again, 108 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,519 that's for light users. It's going to be way cheaper 109 00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:58,839 than what you're gonna get with a subscription chat GTP 110 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000 type of model or the others that are going to 111 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:07,279 pull back a very less intelligent free version than the 112 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,279 more intelligent version four point zero or even five or 113 00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:14,959 even the latest models. So we're always on the latest models, 114 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,680 and the one key difference is that we don't give 115 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,399 you all the other fluff with ours. It's specifically been 116 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,879 trained to bring back references and to validate code terms 117 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,480 and terminologies and things like that, So that's what's different. 118 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,439 So it's not there to replace the AI model that 119 00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:40,079 you may have to write letters and other things. That's 120 00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:42,480 not what it was there for. It's specifically tailored to 121 00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:47,319 be short, straight to the point, very code reference latent 122 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,199 type of references that it gives you for use in 123 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,079 the field because in the field you have limited screen, 124 00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:57,199 you have limited time you have you need to get 125 00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:00,800 the answers quickly. So that model has been that way 126 00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:03,920 and so that's what makes it kind of very special. 127 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,680 Now it's a great companion for your other AI type 128 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:14,000 of products. But again, it was designed specifically for the trades, 129 00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:19,680 and so it's been written and it's constantly being rewritten 130 00:07:19,879 --> 00:07:24,920 and edited and updated to be very trade specific, and 131 00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:28,120 we're always updating the model to make it better. 132 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: Now. 133 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,759 Speaker 3: One of the unique things about is you have different 134 00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:34,639 levels of membership. When you get to the basic memberships 135 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,040 or even the advanced or enhanced memberships, you'll get access 136 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,759 to other things like message boards. You'll also get access 137 00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:45,079 to the trade hog back in, which is called the 138 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:45,759 Office Hog. 139 00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 2: Now, the Office Hog is. 140 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 3: A totally different trained model that's designed for you to 141 00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:55,319 ask things like tax questions. And again we're not tax advisors, 142 00:07:55,319 --> 00:07:57,000 and it's not to take the place of a tax 143 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:02,000 advisor or legal advice, but it uses specific models that 144 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,639 are tailored and customed to look for responses and results 145 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,319 that are validated. And it is also a learning module 146 00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:13,160 means you can ask a follow up question like, for example, 147 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:15,959 you could ask it when are the dates typically that 148 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,480 a Chapter S type of corporation owes taxes or state taxes. 149 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,480 You can be very specific about it, ask about specific 150 00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:29,720 state requirements of hiring and firing laws, ask about HRC 151 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,559 issues or advice. That is the Office Hog, and that's 152 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,759 included with the Basic and Enhanced program. 153 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 2: It is not included with the Light program, but. 154 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,759 Speaker 3: Some of you may not need that, and you wanted 155 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,639 a very affordable tool to use in the field, and 156 00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:47,559 so that's why we came up with the Light product 157 00:08:47,639 --> 00:08:51,039 as well. So we have a bunch of different offerings 158 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,799 for you to be able to use it in the 159 00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:55,679 field and check it out. So all you got to 160 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,840 do it's free to try. You get to ask one 161 00:08:58,919 --> 00:09:03,159 or two hour questions. If you can get into a 162 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,320 deep chain of thought. It'll cut you off after two 163 00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:08,519 because it is a subscription platform, but we tried to 164 00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:10,600 make it as affordable as possible. I don't think that 165 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:17,399 any contractor out there, inspector, trade inspector, building inspector, residential inspector, 166 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,759 mechanical inspector, electrical plumbing, mechanical building. I don't think any 167 00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:24,559 of you out there should be without having trade Hog 168 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,600 in your phone on your pocket, in your pocket because 169 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,320 it can answer those questions, give you code references, and 170 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,600 be a lifesaver in the field. So folks, check it out. 171 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,039 Go to trade hoog dot net or trade hoog dot 172 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,159 com and check it out today.
