What is the problem and how to find solution
Nowadays, solving complex and specific hardware and software problems doesn’t have to be a lonely and tedeous task. We often find ourselves in position where we have a hard stop in our project because something is not working correctly and we can’t find the solution or explanation in the manual. It is especially hard when the manual is long and without specific or well defined structure.
We try to write manuals to be as intuitive as possible with easy to access information about our products. There are still a lot of cases where users can get stuck on specific problems or have to troubleshoot a common problem. But there is a simple solution with utilizing the AI for debugging and troubleshooting.
How it works – debugging with AI
The AI is already trained for understanding engineering and technical topics so it is already very helpful for debugging with AI. It can solve all kinds of problems and help with solutions. But for our purposes, there is even better use case.
By simply giving PDF manual to AI or copying the link to the manual, AI can study and understand the manual and product very specifically and in-depth. So when uploading the manual, user can ask very specific questions for example power supply voltage range, shematics for connecting the product etc. AI is that way very context aware and can iterate and guide you through debugging.
For example debugging your THC plasma problems can be much easier if you upload the manual or give AI our website and it will help you with usability and debugging questions.
What Kind of Problems are for debugging with AI
- Translating jargon into practical steps
- Hardware wiring and connection issues
- Software configuration (e.g., Mach3/Mach4, PoKeys plugins)
- Understanding pinouts, signal types, or voltage ranges
- Troubleshooting error messages
- Simulating test conditions or verifying functionality
Conclusion
No matter if you are a hobbyist, technician, or engineer, giving an AI access to your hardware or software manuals is like handing your very experienced colleague the manual and saying, “Can you walk me through this?” — except your AI assistant never gets tired, impatient, or distracted.
With just a manual and the right questions, AI can help you understand, configure, and troubleshoot even the most niche devices and problems.
