chit in the field
An AI note taker for electricians
Who carries it: Electrician / foreman
What the inspector said at the panel, what the GC agreed to in the huddle, which punch items are still open — an electrician's day runs on conversations. chit is an AI note taker for electricians: one held button captures them as they happen. By evening the punch list is a next-step queue and the recap says what passed inspection and what did not.
What the inspector said on-site should not live only in your foreman's head.
When an electrician presses it
- Panel and walkthrough findings
- inspector conversations
- daily crew huddles
- punch lists
“Journeyman electrician on commercial jobs; track inspector comments and code references.”
A context like this — typed once into the app — is how chit stops being a generic recorder and starts being yours.
Punch list becomes the next-step queue; EOD recap of what passed or failed inspection.
What each foreman captured across GCs, searchable by job — inspection notes included.
Inspection conversations archived in the VPC become a defensible record.
What the inspector actually said
An inspector gives you a correction in a hallway, in about eleven seconds, using a code section number you half-catch. Then they leave. Everything downstream — the fix, the re-inspection, the argument with the GC about whose scope it was — runs on how accurately you recorded those eleven seconds. Hold the button while they are talking, or repeat it back to yourself as they walk off, and the code reference survives with the rest of the punch list. By evening the corrections are a queue instead of a memory, and when the GC asks in three weeks why the panel schedule changed, the answer is a search rather than a shrug.

Good questions
How do I keep a record of what the inspector told me?
Hold the button and recap the conversation the moment it ends — code references included — so it lives somewhere other than the foreman's head. On team deployments those records are archived in your own VPC as a defensible record; see hichit.com/enterprise.
Can I run a punch list by voice?
Call out punch items as you walk and they come back that evening as a next-step queue. chit connects to your calendar and mail, and to ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro and Jobber, so the list lands where the job already lives.
Will it survive a jobsite — dead zones, long days?
chit records offline and syncs later, and the battery runs about a month of typical use. There is nothing to babysit between charges.
Is it recording during every crew huddle?
Only while the button is held. No wake word, no always-on mic — let go and it stops.
What does it cost?
chit one is $129; chit one Pro is $179. The $9/month membership runs unlimited transcripts, the daily digest and ask-anything search, with free shipping in the contiguous US and free 30-day returns.
Do I need ServiceTitan or BuildOps for this to work?
No. chit is a $129 card and its own app — it works the same whether your shop runs a platform or a whiteboard. You get the drafted notes back that evening and paste them wherever the job actually lives.
Recording laws differ by state, and several require every party's consent. chit only captures while the button is held — know your state's rule before recording another person.
