The Future of Marine Survey Reports
That’s right — AI has officially landed in InspectX.
We know this concept can stir up a mix of excitement, skepticism, and maybe even a little eye-roll from the seasoned surveyors out there. But here’s the thing: we didn’t add AI just because it’s trendy. We added it because it actually solves real problems for real surveyors, especially when you’re in the field juggling a dozen tasks at once.
This isn’t about replacing your voice — it’s about amplifying it.
One of the most powerful features now available is our AI Rewrite. Whether you’re jotting notes in shorthand or dictating observations in the field, InspectX can now clean up your statements and convert them into clear, compliant survey language.
EXAMPLE under 'Fuel Tank Material':
“ fire proof resin frp glassed to the hull. app.350 g. no leaks”
AI Rewrite:
“The vessel's fuel tank was constructed of fire-resistant resin FRP glassed to the hull. The tank's capacity was approximately 350 gallons. No leaks were observed during the inspection.”
It’s fast, consistent, and built to follow marine reporting conventions, including past-tense formatting and full-sentence conversion. You stay in control — the AI just gives your words a head start.
InspectX AI is under your control.
Use it at individual headings, findings and recommendations.
Batch process the entire report, separate categories and individual topics.
You can control the batch AI to process only completed entries, only in-progress entries or both.
And if you only want to fix typos, grammar, or punctuation without changing the structure of your content?
There’s a button for that too. Think of it as a built-in proofreader that knows not to touch your sentence structure when you don’t want it to.
AI can work across the whole report, or just the parts you choose. And yes, it keeps a backup in case you want to roll it all back.
When you create a new finding — whether A, B, or C priority — the AI understands what you’re working with. It can:
Rewrite your finding description and auto-generate a recommendation, even cite applicable CFRs (when relevant).
It’s like having a second set of eyes with a built-in codebook. Just don’t forget: you’re still the captain of this vessel. The final responsibility for any cited regulation remains yours.
EXAMPLE 'A' FINDING under 'Blackwater Tankage':
“ no lvl indicator”
AI Rewrite:
“The blackwater tankage was missing a level indicator.”
Auto-generated AI Recommendation:
“ Replace the blackwater tank level indicator in accordance with 33 CFR § 159.83: Level indicator. Each sewage retention device must have a means of indicating when the device is more than ¾ full by volume.”
The CFR citations are kept accurate by referencing an internally maintained CFR database dedicated specifically for this task.
Want more control over how the AI responds? Use double-angle brackets (<<like this>>) to give inline instructions. Or adjust your Creativity and Vocabulary in settings to match your tone and style.
Prefer technical language? Crank up Vocabulary. Want a looser, more human voice? Nudge up Creativity.
🚀 What’s Next?
This is just the beginning. The AI features inside InspectX are built to evolve alongside your needs, with new updates and smarter functions on the horizon. We’re here to make your reports cleaner, faster, and easier — without sacrificing precision or compliance.
We can’t wait to hear what you think.
Drop your feedback. Try it out. Break it if you have to.
Because the future of marine surveying isn’t robotic — it’s just smart.
