THE AI

BREAK. ASK. FIX. SOLVE IT.

You enter a problem, bug, issue about anything tech, health or home and it asks before it really answers. Because the best answers come from the right questions.

QUICK QUESTIONS

IT NARROWS THE FAULT BEFORE ANSWERING

It states what it thinks is wrong, then asks fast YES and NO questions built from the details you gave. Answering each one costs a single click.

CLICKABLE ANSWERS

EVERY OPTION EXPLAINS WHAT IT MEANS

One sharper question follows, and each button says what choosing it would mean for the diagnosis. Pass is there for when you genuinely do not know.

THREE SOURCES

ONE DIRECT ANSWER WITH REAL LINKS

The answer arrives with three genuine resource links and none of them are sponsored. It is written to be useful rather than flattering.

NOTHING KEPT

CLOSE IT AND THE SESSION IS GONE

Press the reset and everything clears back to an empty page. There is no account, no history, and nothing left to delete.

THE AI

IT ASKS QUESTIONS BEFORE GIVING AN ANSWER

CTRLbot.AI narrows a fault with clickable questions, then returns one direct answer with three real sources. It requires no login, keeps no history, and retains nothing after the session.

DEVICE DATABASE

ALL MAJOR MANUFACTURERS

A huge database of most Pro AV manufacturers and their devices, with links out to their home and product pages.

CONTROL DRIVERS

PROJECTORS DISPLAYS SWITCHERS END POINTS

Hundreds of devices and thousands of commands make up a database that is growing exponentially.

THE MANUAL

EACH DRIVER IS ALSO A CHEAT SHEET

Every driver carries its exact description and setup instructions right in the interface. You no longer have to hunt for PDFs or remember specific requirements.

CONNECTION

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO CONNECT

The database carries the specific connection details for every model. It covers IP, RS-232 and IR, with the ports and parameters already filled in.

THE API

EVERY COMMAND IT TAKES

Every command the device answers to, with the exact payload that goes down the wire. Encoding and line endings come set, so nothing is hand-typed.

LIVE CONNECTION

GIVE IT AN ADDRESS AND CONNECT

Add the device, type the address it sits at, and connect. Protocol, port, encoding and line ending all come from the driver.

THE TERMINAL

SEND A COMMAND AND WATCH IT LAND

Send a command from the same screen and the log shows exactly what went out. A real device sends its feedback straight back.

THE HUB

AND HUNDREDS MORE LIKE IT

That was one driver. Every one in the list opens the same way.
