SUMMARY:Generative AI Tools for Electrical Tradespersons (Virtual Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by iKITES Consulting Inc. ​ \nGenerative AI is rapidly changing how construction work is planned\, coordinated\, and documented\, and this full-day virtual workshop is designed for ECAO members to help them understand and use these tools. You’ll work with tools like ChatGPT\, Microsoft Copilot\, and Google Gemini on everyday electrical contracting tasks—using them to help with project documents\, drawings\, quantity take-offs\, estimates\, RFQs/RFPs\, RFIs\, site instructions\, deficiency lists\, change orders\, and daily logs—so you can see exactly how they fit into the work you already do. \nBy the end of this course\, participants will be able to:​ \n\nUnderstand core Generative AI concepts in plain language and how they fit into electrical construction workflows.\nUse AI tools (ChatGPT\, Microsoft Copilot\, Google Gemini) to support planning\, documentation\, and communication tasks for electrical projects.\nApply AI to construction and project documentation\, drawings\, and specifications for summarizing\, clarifying\, and drafting content.\nGenerate structured support for Quantity Take-Offs (QTOs) and estimating while maintaining proper professional review and judgment.\nDraft and refine RFQs/RFPs\, bid documents\, and responses that are clearer\, more consistent\, and faster to produce.\nCreate and improve RFIs\, site instructions\, deficiency lists\, and change order language using AI as a writing and checking assistant.\nStructure daily logs\, progress updates\, and reporting with AI support to improve consistency and completeness.\nUse a Custom GPT tailored for ECAO members\, leveraging prompt starters aligned with common electrical workflows.\n\n\n👥 Ideal Audience: Owners\, project managers\, estimators\, site supervisors\, coordinators\, and office/admin staff seeking a beginner-friendly\, practical introduction to Generative AI. No prior AI experience is required. \n​📅 WHEN: April 8\, 2026 | 🕙 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM​ \n📍 WHERE: Live online via Zoom​ \n💵 COST: $299 incl. tax \n\n​Course Format:​ This is a live\, instructor-led virtual workshop featuring interactive teaching\, guided labs\, and practical exercises.
