What's new in Rudy
Rudy ships improvements constantly. Here's what that means for the work.
July 2026
White paper library
The new /whitepaper page hosts both the Operational Intelligence paper and the 23-page Technician Engineering paper — how Rudy is built to know the context, the trade, the equipment, and the lingo.
Fault-code intelligence
Fault codes from ingested manuals are now extracted into a dedicated database across dozens of manufacturers, so code lookups resolve faster and cite the exact page.
Smarter manual-to-equipment matching
Manuals are now matched to the specific engines, alternators, and controllers inside your generators — not just the brand on the nameplate — so answers pull from the right document more often.
June 2026
Quick Take — instant answers
Ask a question and get an instant preliminary read in under a second while Rudy finishes the full cited answer. Works with photos too.
Conversations saved forever
Every conversation is auto-titled, stored permanently, scoped to your equipment, and fully searchable. Switch between jobs without losing context.
In-chat manual viewer
Citations open the actual PDF at the cited page, right inside the chat. Swipe through pages on mobile — no more hunting for the right section.
Team Library & community cards
Save verified answers as Rudy Cards, share them to your team library, or publish them publicly. Peer validation and expertise badges show who your Cummins and Cat experts are.
Ludicrous Mode & Go Deeper
One tap escalates any answer into expanded research: multi-step retrieval with live progress, cross-references, and a downloadable PDF research report.
Coverage transparency
Signal bars on every answer show how deep the source coverage runs, so you know when Rudy is on solid ground and when to verify in the field.
Fleet equipment context
Rudy remembers your generators — make, model, vintage — and scopes every answer to what you actually work on.
May 2026
Full-depth manual ingestion
Spec tables, wiring diagrams, and flowcharts buried inside manuals are extracted as first-class searchable content — with the section context that makes a torque value mean something.

Photo upload
Snap a fault display, nameplate, or wiring label — attach up to three photos per message and Rudy reads them against the manual.
Install Rudy on your phone
Rudy works as an app: add it to your home screen and it is one tap away in the field.
