What it is
Ask BONBON is an AI assistant built for electricians, contractors and inspectors who work with the US National Electrical Code and the Canadian Electrical Code. You type or speak a question and receive an answer that points to the specific code article, so the reasoning can be checked on site. The app also includes field calculators for common tasks such as voltage drop, wiring, loads, motors and solar, along with information on state amendments and inspection preparation. It runs on the web and on iOS and Android. A free plan includes a limited number of questions each month, and paid plans come with a 14-day free trial.

Editor's notes
More context from AI BirdView
General chatbots can answer electrical questions, but they rarely point you to the exact clause you need to show an inspector. Ask BONBON is built around that requirement, returning answers tied to the relevant NEC or CEC article so electricians can confirm the guidance themselves rather than taking it on trust.
- Answers National Electrical Code and Canadian Electrical Code questions with the article cited
- Accepts questions by voice or text, which is handy with gloves on or hands full
- Includes calculators for voltage drop, wiring, loads, motors and solar work
- Covers state amendments and helps with inspection preparation
- Runs on the web plus iOS and Android, with a free plan and a 14-day trial on paid tiers
Ask BONBON is best for licensed electricians, apprentices, estimators and contractors who look up code requirements during the workday. Apprentices studying for exams may also find the cited answers useful for learning where rules live in the code book. A practical tip: always open the cited article and confirm which code edition your jurisdiction has adopted, since local adoption and amendments can change what applies to a specific job.
