What it does

Analysis. Design. Drafting.

Real requests, each rated Correct by the engineer who asked.

Grading review: 355 flags on the proposed surface

16 curb hits, then none.

First pass: 16 hits in 4 clusters → engineer allowed full-lane turns → 162 variants searched → 0 hits in 5,306 sampled positions

Limits

Body positions were sampled every 2 ft against curb points every 1 ft. Six reference drawings were unavailable, so only loaded curbs were tested. Preliminary study; the agent's own note says to validate in AutoTURN or Vehicle Tracking.

In their words
Truck turning study, due the next day
“A client called. His tenant needed to know by tomorrow whether a truck would work, and he’d spent all day trying to get AI to do it from a PDF. I didn’t have access to AutoTURN, and the person who does had already gone home, so I said I’d see if Pickbox could do it. To put him at ease, I sent him both versions: Pickbox’s and one we ran in AutoTURN. I think the information we got from Pickbox was actually better.”
Jeff Hunter, P.E.Owner, Hunter Engineering
Grading around five buildings
“I just tell it to do what I was going to do. I have five buildings, so once it finished one the way I liked it, I told it to replicate that on the others. Game changer. All while I was doing emails and other exhibits.”
Larry Talbott, P.E.Engineer for 20+ years, Hunter Engineering
Feature lines, after the architect moved the base
“That just saved me three to four hours of work.”
