ICC AI Navigator offers quick, helpful replies to basic code questions, and is programmed to help users navigate our I-Codes like an expert.
AI Navigator uses Large Language Model (LLM) artificial intelligence to provide answers and guidance to the relevant code content for users of our Digital Codes platform. LLM AI tools like AI Navigator benefit from use and feedback by real users under real conditions. ICC has done extensive internal testing of this tool, but we intend to use feedback from our Beta to further refine and update it.

AI Navigator not only offers users the ability to search by the I -Codes, but also by selected US states. AI Navigator will answer questions using that state’s custom codes, or the appropriate editions of the I-Codes. Additionally, this update includes the ability to use AI Navigator directly through the main search bar.
