AI Assistant (TroubleShooter) Disclaimer

FACP Manuals provides an AI-powered assistant called "TroubleShooter" (also referred to as "Ask AI" or "Ask TroubleShooter AI" in navigation and headers) to help users find information in fire alarm manuals. By using this feature, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

• AI Limitations: TroubleShooter may make mistakes, misinterpret questions, or provide incomplete information. AI technology is not infallible.
• Not Professional Advice: AI-generated responses are for informational purposes only and do not constitute professional fire alarm installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting advice.
• Verification Required: All AI responses must be verified against official manufacturer documentation before taking any action on fire alarm systems.
• Source Attribution: TroubleShooter cites sources from our manual library, but users must verify the cited content applies to their specific system and situation.
• No Guarantee of Accuracy: We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of AI-generated responses.
• Human Oversight Required: Critical fire safety decisions must involve qualified professionals, not AI recommendations alone.
• Context Limitations: The AI may not have access to the most current manual versions or may misunderstand the context of your specific installation.

The AI assistant uses Google Gemini technology to process queries and generate responses based on indexed manual content. While we implement safeguards to prevent hallucinations and ensure source citations, no AI system is perfect.
