Q&A:
About the Technology & Functionality
The AI assistant uses advanced image recognition to assess key site features such as height, terrain, and access points. It matches these factors against our extensive database of powered access machines to recommend the most suitable options.
The assistant combines computer vision with machine learning. Using thousands of construction site images, it has been trained to recognise common site conditions and accurately suggest the right equipment.
The assistant has been rigorously tested against real-world site scenarios and AFI’s expert hire desk team. Accuracy improves over time as more users interact with it. Customers always have the option to refine their selection before requesting a quote.
Yes. It includes standard typical safety requirements, working heights, and ground conditions. For complex sites, customers can provide additional details to fine-tune recommendations.
Absolutely. The AI assistant suggests the best fit, but customers can adjust their choices before requesting a quote. Our team is also on hand to provide expert advice if needed.
User Experience & Integration
It’s designed to be simple. Users just upload a site image, and the AI assistant does the rest. No technical expertise is required. The process is intuitive and takes seconds.
Within moments. Once the image is uploaded, the AI analyses it and instantly suggests equipment.
Yes. The AI assistant is fully optimised for both mobile and desktop use, making it easy to access from any device on-site or in the office.
The system is designed to be self-explanatory, but our team is available if customers need guidance. We’re always here to ensure they get the right equipment for the job.
The assistant will prompt users to provide additional details if needed. If an image isn’t suitable for analysis, users can simply take another image to upload.
Business & Industry Impact
It removes the guesswork and saves time. Instead of manually searching for equipment or waiting for advice, users get instant recommendations tailored to their site.
Customers avoid hiring the wrong equipment by quickly identifying the right machine, reducing delays and costly rehires. The AI assistant also streamlines the quote request process, making it faster to secure the right kit.
The AI assistant ensures users select machines suited to their environment from the start. This reduces the need for last-minute swaps and minimises unnecessary transport emissions.
Yes. It simplifies and speeds up the process, making it easier for site managers and contractors to get the right equipment first time.
Improving accuracy in machine selection reduces unnecessary transport and fuel use. Plus, online ordering and offhiring allow customers to benefit from our carbon offsetting scheme.
Freely Available for Use & Industry Adoption
We want to improve powered access hire for the entire industry. By making it freely available, hire platforms, suppliers, and construction firms can integrate it into their websites, helping more people get the right equipment quickly.
Integration is straightforward. They can embed this below simple iframe code into their websites.

We anticipate strong interest. The AI assistant solves a real challenge in the hire process, and businesses looking to enhance their service offering will see the value in integrating it.
We’ll monitor usage to understand how widely the AI assistant is adopted, but the tool is designed to be freely available without restrictions.
Potentially. AI-driven image recognition has applications across multiple sectors. For now, our focus is on ensuring it delivers the best possible service for powered access hire.
Data & Privacy Considerations
We ask users for contact information to use the tool for the purposes of deterring inappropriate usage and lead gathering in the case they’re interested in a quote.
No. The iframe runs independently on external websites, meaning we don’t access or store any data from those platforms. We focus on delivering a helpful tool for the industry, not gathering competitive intelligence.
The AI improves through ongoing training using anonymised data from AFI’s own platform. This ensures accuracy continues to develop while maintaining user privacy.
Future Development & AFI’s Digital Strategy
Yes. We’re already looking at ways to enhance its accuracy, integrate more site data, and expand the range of supported environments.
Absolutely. AI has the potential to streamline other aspects of hire, including predictive maintenance, live machine tracking, and fleet management.
It’s part of our ongoing investment in technology to make hiring easier, faster, and more efficient for our customers. From smart route planning to digital off-hire solutions, we’re committed to leading the way in digital innovation.
Yes. We’ve already introduced smart off-hire technology, real-time machine availability checking, and route optimisation software. The AI assistant is another step in our mission to improve service and efficiency for our customers.
