What they did
An engineer gave Grok Bot his house drawings, the original solar plans and a Powerwall expansion permit (mostly PDFs plus DXF files). When a contractor was slow to quote, he asked the bot if it could do the job; it asked for a few numbers, then produced a 17-page B-size permit drawing package in under 5 minutes, including a roof layout and one-line wiring drawings made from scratch. He checked every line and planned to submit after getting a PE stamp for the structural parts.
How it went
"A complete drawing package in under 5 minutes." He called them the nicest permit drawings he'd seen.
Worth knowing
- Expert user's report with wide reach (1,000+ likes) and a detailed follow-up; he had lots of prior material and checked every line himself. Not yet reviewed by the permit office when posted. Get a licensed professional to review anything structural or electrical before you submit.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
I need permit drawings for [project, e.g. a home solar + battery install] at [city/county]. Here are my existing files: [house drawings, prior permits, equipment specs as PDF/DXF]. First tell me which local and state permit rules apply and what numbers you still need from me. Then draft the full drawing package as a PDF: site plan, roof layout, one-line diagram, string calcs and conduit sizing/fill. List every assumption so I can check it, and flag anything that needs a licensed engineer's stamp.
