What Is AskDigs?
AskDigs is a smart, AI-powered feature within the Digs platform that instantly answers questions about your homebuild project, using the actual documents, selections, schedules, and data you’ve already uploaded. Whether you’re on a job site or answering a client question from your truck, AskDigs puts reliable information at your fingertips in seconds.
No training. No extra tools. Just ask.
“The AI searchability is huge. I can type ‘range specs’ and get the answer plus the folder it lives in — instantly.”
– Williams Contracting
What Makes AskDigs Different?
Unlike generic AI tools or basic search functions, AskDigs was built for construction. That means it understands how jobs actually get done, from takeoffs to tile selections to final walkthroughs.
Here’s what sets it apart:
- Project-Specific Intelligence: AskDigs reads and understands your floorplans, schedules, selections, and notes, delivering answers based on your actual project data, not generic web results.
- Lightning-Fast Response Time: Upgrades in 2025 made AskDigs significantly faster, even with large documents or complex questions.
- Conversational & Context-Aware: It remembers your previous questions and follows up with helpful suggestions, making interactions feel more like talking to a teammate than a tool.
- Built-In Construction Expertise: In addition to detailed knowledge about each specific project, AskDigs also understands construction processes and best practices. It can provide answers with the full context of how a build comes together, not just what's in the files.
“Before Digs, we’d waste hours hunting down specific model numbers or confirming which tile we chose. Now, we just AskDigs, and the answer's there in seconds.”
– House of Ponce
