Speaker 3: Welcome to another episode of Master the NEC with me
Paul Abernathy, your host. Thanks for taking the time out
of your day to listen to the podcast and share
it with everybody. We're available on all your popular podcast
listening platforms and syndication. We have over a thousand episodes
of all types of topics electrical contracting HR believe it
or not, We have a lot of things to choose from,
so do me a favor. Just search for Master the
NEC Podcast on any search engine and you'll see all
kinds of opportunities to listen, from Spotify to Speaker, to Deezer,
or even get our free mobile app from our website
fasttracksystem dot com and you can actually listen directly from
the mobile app and stream it to all your favorite
Bluetooth devices, So check that out. On today's episode, I
want to talk a little bit about something that we
put out.
Speaker 2: It's probably about a year old now.
Speaker 3: It's really popular, a lot of people are using it,
and so it's been a while since I've talked about
the benefits of it, and so we're going to do
that today. So it's going to sound a little bit
of salesy, but I do want to talk about the
real benefits of it and why you need it, and
hopefully that helps you out and you can make your decision.
You can also try it for free over on the
website and see what it does for you, gives you
a couple, you know, like two searches that you can
do or two chains of thought that you can do
per hour. So again, if you want more than that,
you gotta subscribe, but we give you a taste and
that's trade hog.
Speaker 2: So trade hog.
Speaker 3: Is a program that we created in house using all
of the popular AI models that are out there brought
into one. And then what's done is it inside of
software that we have. We have tailored it to be
very specific to the electrical, plumbing, mechanical, all types of
trades in order to be able to utilize in the field.
And what we've also done is we've optimized it for
use on a mobile device, but it can obviously be
used on a tablet, so that when you're in the
field and you have a question on something and you
know whether it's a code question or an installation application
best practice question or anything like that, then all you've
got to do is go do tradehog dot com or
dot net or dot org, it doesn't matter, all of them,
point to the same foundation and just do your search.
Speaker 2: Type it in there.
Speaker 3: You can even take a picture and attach a picture
or something like a maybe a nameplate on a piece
of equipment and ask for more information. But mainly you
just type in what you want to know and try
to be as specific as you can, and it will
bring back results. It will tell you and if something
you know what, nothing's going to take the place of
your knowledge. So if something doesn't look like well it's
not giving me all the details I want, then you
ask it a follow up question. And it's a learning model.
It continues to learn and it helps our our model learn.
And so trade Hog was specifically designed. It was one
of my pet projects that we were going to use
in house. It takes advantage of AI. We take care
of all that on the back end. We pay all
the fees, and we do all the mixing, We do
all the singling out when it comes to Gronk and
the AI models, Chat GPT.
Speaker 2: But we make it so that it's affordable.
Speaker 3: For example, we have an option where it's just nine
dollars and ninety five cents a month, or you can
do it annually like one hundred and five dollars a year.
Gives you all the benefits of the Chat, GGP and
Gronk all combined into one. But it's been tailored to
very very specific for your trade application. So if I'm
an electrician, I'm in the field and I see something,
I want to ask a question about something, and I
want to code reference, maybe I'm an inspector.
Speaker 2: Then all you've got to do is ask it.
Speaker 3: And if something comes back and you want to dig
a little deeper into it, or you're using knowledge that
you may already have and you want to confirm something,
or maybe you just want to ask it a more
thought provoking type of question, you can do that and
it will learn and continue on what it's the discussion is.
So that's an interesting concept and it was designed again
for people to use in the field in the trade.
Now there's different levels of a membership in trade hog.
Speaker 2: The very Light is a very basic one.
Speaker 3: Basically gives you a certain number of searches per hour
or chains of thought per hour, and that's very limited use. Again,
that's for light users. It's going to be way cheaper
than what you're gonna get with a subscription chat GTP
type of model or the others that are going to
pull back a very less intelligent free version than the
more intelligent version four point zero or even five or
even the latest models. So we're always on the latest models,
and the one key difference is that we don't give
you all the other fluff with ours. It's specifically been
trained to bring back references and to validate code terms
and terminologies and things like that, So that's what's different.
So it's not there to replace the AI model that
you may have to write letters and other things. That's
not what it was there for. It's specifically tailored to
be short, straight to the point, very code reference latent
type of references that it gives you for use in
the field because in the field you have limited screen,
you have limited time you have you need to get
the answers quickly. So that model has been that way
and so that's what makes it kind of very special.
Now it's a great companion for your other AI type
of products. But again, it was designed specifically for the trades,
and so it's been written and it's constantly being rewritten
and edited and updated to be very trade specific, and
we're always updating the model to make it better.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: One of the unique things about is you have different
levels of membership. When you get to the basic memberships
or even the advanced or enhanced memberships, you'll get access
to other things like message boards. You'll also get access
to the trade hog back in, which is called the
Office Hog.
Speaker 2: Now, the Office Hog is.
Speaker 3: A totally different trained model that's designed for you to
ask things like tax questions. And again we're not tax advisors,
and it's not to take the place of a tax
advisor or legal advice, but it uses specific models that
are tailored and customed to look for responses and results
that are validated. And it is also a learning module
means you can ask a follow up question like, for example,
you could ask it when are the dates typically that
a Chapter S type of corporation owes taxes or state taxes.
You can be very specific about it, ask about specific
state requirements of hiring and firing laws, ask about HRC
issues or advice. That is the Office Hog, and that's
included with the Basic and Enhanced program.
Speaker 2: It is not included with the Light program, but.
Speaker 3: Some of you may not need that, and you wanted
a very affordable tool to use in the field, and
so that's why we came up with the Light product
as well. So we have a bunch of different offerings
for you to be able to use it in the
field and check it out. So all you got to
do it's free to try. You get to ask one
or two hour questions. If you can get into a
deep chain of thought. It'll cut you off after two
because it is a subscription platform, but we tried to
make it as affordable as possible. I don't think that
any contractor out there, inspector, trade inspector, building inspector, residential inspector,
mechanical inspector, electrical plumbing, mechanical building. I don't think any
of you out there should be without having trade Hog
in your phone on your pocket, in your pocket because
it can answer those questions, give you code references, and
be a lifesaver in the field. So folks, check it out.
Go to trade hoog dot net or trade hoog dot
com and check it out today. Folks, we appreciate you
till next time. Stay safe, God blessed.
