Overview
RPilot is RDrive's AI-powered assistant, integrated directly with RDrive and its APIs.
RPilot brings AI directly into RDrive, helping users find information, understand project data and carry out supported actions using natural language.
Instead of navigating through different areas of RDrive to find information or complete everyday tasks, you can simply ask RPilot what you need.
RPilot works with the information available within your RDrive environment, providing a faster and more conversational way to interact with your project data.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
What is RPilot?
RPilot is more than a traditional chatbot.
Rather than simply providing an answer or telling you how to complete a task, RPilot is integrated with RDrive and can work with RDrive data and supported functionality.
This allows you to:
Ask.
Ask questions or give instructions using everyday language.
Understand.
Find, extract, summarise and explore information held within RDrive.
Act.
Where supported, ask RPilot to carry out actions within RDrive.
One of the key benefits is that you don't necessarily need to know where the answer is stored before asking the question.
RPilot can identify relevant RDrive records, work with the information contained within them and bring the answer back to you.
How does RPilot work?
RPilot is available directly within RDrive and is designed to be simple and intuitive to use.
Open RPilot and ask a question or give an instruction using natural, everyday language. There are no special commands to learn and you don't need to know where the information is stored, simply tell RPilot what you would like to find, understand or do.
RPilot works with the relevant information available within your RDrive environment and presents the results conversationally. Where available, you can open relevant records directly from the response or continue the conversation with follow-up questions to explore the information further.
Simply ask RPilot what you need.

The following examples demonstrate different ways RPilot can help users work with information already captured within RDrive.
Intelligent Record Search & Investigation
Finding the information you need doesn't always mean knowing the exact record, form or reference you are looking for.
RPilot allows you to describe what you are looking for using natural language. It can search the relevant project information, identify matching records and provide useful context to help you investigate further.
Example: NCR Verification Search
In this example, RPilot is used to search for NCR information relating to verification.
Rather than manually searching through individual NCR records, RPilot identifies relevant records and presents the matching information within the conversation.
The user can then open the relevant NCR directly within RDrive to investigate further.
This can help users:
- Search project records using natural language
- Find records based on the information contained within them
- Quickly identify relevant results
- Understand the context behind the results
- Navigate directly to the underlying RDrive record
Cross-Record Data Extraction & Summarisation
Sometimes the answer to a question isn't held in one record.
Information may have been captured repeatedly across forms, inspections or daily project records, making it time-consuming to manually open each record and compile the information.
RPilot can help retrieve information from multiple relevant records and bring it together into a single response.
Example: Number of Workers
In this example, RPilot is asked about the number of workers recorded on the project.
RPilot identifies the relevant Daily Manpower Log records, retrieves the information recorded within them and presents the results together.
Instead of manually locating and reviewing each form, the user can ask the project question directly.
This can help users:
- Retrieve information held within project forms
- Work across multiple relevant records
- Extract specific information from those records
- Bring distributed project information together
- Summarise the results in a conversational response
Connected Record Discovery & Navigation
Project information within RDrive is often connected.
A record may have related forms, inspections, issues or other linked information that provides additional context.
RPilot can help users discover relevant connected information and move from the answer it provides to the underlying RDrive records.
Example: Open Linked Items
In this example, RPilot is used to identify linked project items and provide access to the relevant records.
Rather than manually navigating between different areas of the project to understand the relationship between records, RPilot helps surface the connected information.
Relevant records can then be opened directly within RDrive for further review.
This can help users:
- Discover related project information
- Understand connections between records
- Find relevant linked items
- Move from an RPilot response to the source information
- Navigate project information more efficiently
Working across languages
RPilot is designed to support multilingual interaction.
Users can interact with RPilot using different languages, helping international project teams access and understand RDrive information more naturally.
This can be particularly useful where project information is recorded in one language but members of the project team work in another.
FAQs & Troubleshooting
Q: Do I need to know where information is stored before asking RPilot?
A: No. You can ask RPilot a question using natural language without knowing which form, record or area of RDrive contains the information.
RPilot can identify relevant information within your RDrive environment and use it to respond to your request.
Q: Do I need to use specific commands or prompts?
A: No. RPilot is designed to understand natural, everyday language.
Simply describe what you would like to find, understand or do. You can also refine your request through follow-up questions.
Q: Can RPilot search information contained within forms and records?
A: Yes. RPilot can work with information recorded within RDrive, allowing you to ask questions based on the content of relevant project records rather than only searching by record name or reference.
Q: Can RPilot work across multiple records?
A: Yes. Where relevant to your request, RPilot can retrieve information from multiple records and bring the results together. For example, you could ask about information recorded across a series of daily project forms rather than opening and reviewing each form individually.
Q: Can I ask follow-up questions?
A: Yes. RPilot supports conversational interaction, so you can continue asking questions and refine or explore the information further without starting a new search each time.
Q: Can RPilot take actions within RDrive?
A: Yes, where supported. RPilot is integrated with RDrive and can support actions as well as finding and interpreting information.
The actions available will depend on the RPilot functionality available within your RDrive environment.
Q: Can I use RPilot in different languages?
A: Yes. RPilot supports multilingual interaction, allowing users to ask questions and receive responses in different languages.
This can help international project teams interact with RDrive information more naturally.
Q: Is RPilot just a chatbot?
A: No. RPilot is integrated with RDrive and its APIs.
Rather than simply providing general answers or instructions on how to use RDrive, RPilot can work with the information available within your RDrive environment to help you find, understand and, where supported, act on project information.
