What's new in Rudy

Rudy ships improvements constantly. Here's what that means for the work.

July 2026

New

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.

New

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.

Improved

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

New

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.

New

Conversations saved forever

Every conversation is auto-titled, stored permanently, scoped to your equipment, and fully searchable. Switch between jobs without losing context.

New

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.

New

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.

New

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.

New

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.

New

Fleet equipment context

Rudy remembers your generators — make, model, vintage — and scopes every answer to what you actually work on.

May 2026

Improved

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.

Earlier in 2026

New

Photo upload

Snap a fault display, nameplate, or wiring label — attach up to three photos per message and Rudy reads them against the manual.

New

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.
