Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between InspectorData AI and Hive Inspect AI?
Both platforms use AI, but in different ways. InspectorData uses vision AI that analyzes the actual content of your inspection photos - it looks at each image, identifies defects like water damage or electrical issues, and generates professional comments automatically in about 7 seconds per photo. Hive Inspect's AI is voice-to-report and text-based - you dictate or type, and its AI drafts and refines the wording, but it does not visually analyze the content of your photos. The key difference is vision AI on photos vs voice/text AI.
