The digital field notebook for API inspectors.
FieldDraft replaces the clipboard, Excel, and camera roll with one offline-first tool purpose-built for API 510, 570, 653, and 576 inspections. Capture findings in the field, sync when you're back on the grid, export a formatted PDF before you leave the jobsite.
Six things it does better than the Excel-and-camera workflow you're using now.
Offline-first, actually.
Every tap saves to your device first. Findings, photos, and thickness readings stay local until you're back on cell or wifi — then everything syncs on its own.
AI photo analysis.
Shoot the photo, caption it, move on. AI reads the image and your caption together and drafts the field observation. You review and edit — not transcribe.
Executive summaries, drafted.
The one-page summary and recommended repairs are drafted from your structured findings — in inspector voice, with API-compliant language and your documented limitations.
Checklists for the real standards.
Asset Type → Scope → Sub-Type/Roof Type → Tab → Items. Fixed-roof, EFR, IFR tank variations included. Add custom items per inspection, rename, or remove.
Cloud sync when you're back.
Work saves on-device, uploads when you're online, and follows you across laptop, tablet, and phone. Photos stream up in the background — nothing blocks your day.
PDFs that match the format.
Exec summary, findings by section with photos inline, CML tables, recommended repairs, limitations, sign-off block. One tap on the review page.
Where the work happens.
Four steps from walking up to the vessel to emailing the PDF.
Start the inspection.
Pick asset type (vessel/piping/tank), scope, sub-type. The right checklist populates — no template hunting.
Walk the asset.
Tap status, jot quick notes, shoot photos. Everything lands on your device. Works inside tanks, no signal required.
Review with AI.
Hit Report. Claude drafts the executive summary from your findings. Gemini pulls observations from your photos.
Export the PDF.
One tap. API-formatted report with findings by section, CMLs, photos inline, recommended repairs, sign-off block.
