Snap a model plate, get the right manual

Send a photo of the model and serial sticker; your bot finds the maker's own manual and points you to the right page.

What it does

CNN reported HVAC techs using AI to pull up technical info in seconds instead of flipping through as many as five 60-page manuals. Here's a simple version. Snap the model/serial plate on a water heater, furnace, condenser, dishwasher or generator and send it to your bot. It reads the model number, finds the manufacturer's own install and service manuals (not ad-filled "free manual" sites), saves them to a folder by brand and model, and answers your question with the page or section number so you can check it yourself. Homeowners can use it the same way for appliance manuals and filter sizes. It finds and quotes the manual. Diagnosis, code and safety calls stay with you.

Copy-paste prompt

Be my equipment manual finder.

When I send a photo of a model/serial plate (or type the brand and model number):
1. Read the brand, model number and serial number. If any character is unclear, ask me instead of guessing.
2. Find the manufacturer's own manuals for that exact model: installation, use and care, service, and parts list. Check the manufacturer's website first. Skip ad-heavy "free manual" sites. If you can't find an official copy, say so.
3. Save the PDFs (or links) to [my manuals folder], named like "Brand - Model - Install manual".
4. When I ask a question (clearances, filter size, an error code, a wiring diagram, a fuse or torque spec), answer only from the manual and give me the page or section number so I can check it. If the manual doesn't say, tell me that.
5. If the manual has a safety warning for what I'm asking about (gas, high voltage, refrigerant, venting), quote that warning first.

Don't diagnose the problem or make code calls for me; I go by my training, the manual and local code. Never order parts or contact anyone for me.
