Field QA
Proof of concept
Test it on your phone

Prepared by Thys for Christoff · 6 November 2026

Your field evidence, kept with the job.

Sammy guides your site staff through a photo, a location pin and a short voice note in WhatsApp. You get a draft PDF and a private dashboard record for each job.

How it fits together

  1. 01

    Field worker’s WhatsApp

    Hi, then a photo, a pin and a voice note.

  2. 02

    Sammy

    Asks for one thing at a time.

  3. 03

    Job record

    Each item stays on the job it was sent for.

  4. 04

    Draft PDF + dashboard

    Originals kept privately.

  5. 05

    Your review

    Sign-off stays with you.

01 · Walkthrough

See what your field worker sends, and what Sammy says back.

A photo on its own doesn’t say which job it’s for, where it was taken or what needs attention. Sammy asks for all three, one step at a time.

Sample conversation. Sammy’s wording comes from the current build. The photo, pin and voice note are illustrations, not real evidence.

02 · Your view

Review the visit from wherever you are.

Each capture lands in a private dashboard, filed by job, with its draft PDF. Your WhatsApp captures sit apart from the pre-filled example records.

03 · Practice jobs

Four practice jobs, about two minutes each.

Made-up jobs around Oudtshoorn, not real Summit projects. Your capture starts blank. Sammy shows each card below and says what to photograph.

Sammy’s task card for job 01: a corner or an edge.

Job 01

Courtyard building set-out

Photograph
A corner or edge, with enough surroundings to show where it is.
Pre-filled example shows
A complete record.
Sammy’s task card for job 02: a doorway or window opening.

Job 02

Workshop extension

Photograph
A doorway or window opening. Stand back so both sides are visible.
Pre-filled example shows
A missing photo, caught and listed.
Sammy’s task card for job 03: a post, pillar or support.

Job 03

Canopy support positions

Photograph
A post, pillar or support, including its base and the space around it.
Pre-filled example shows
An explicit failed check that needs attention.
Sammy’s task card for job 04: a line or edge on the ground.

Job 04

Small-store foundation

Photograph
A line or edge on the ground. A paving line or chalk mark works.
Pre-filled example shows
A drawing revision corrected from B to C, with history.

The pre-filled examples are numbered 001–004. New captures are numbered from 005 upward, so yours will differ from the sample. A failure or revision in an example belongs to that sample, not to your test.

04 · Try it

Try it on your own phone.

Testing is limited to approved numbers, and both of yours are on the list. Start from either phone. One job takes a few minutes.

  1. 1

    Get your dashboard link

    Your South African and New Zealand numbers are both approved. Thys sends the private dashboard link.

  2. 2

    Say Hi to Sammy

    On WhatsApp, to +27 64 504 1195.

  3. 3

    Follow the prompts

    Choose a job, then send the photo, pin and voice note when Sammy asks.

  4. 4

    Check and save

    Read the readback, then tap Create preview.

  5. 5

    Open the results

    The draft PDF in WhatsApp, and the record in your dashboard link.

  6. 6

    Try the next job

    Tap Next job, or send Next.

    HiNextdashboardresume

    The buttons do the rest.

A good test: you can see how field evidence stays together and decide what a real pilot needs. The app doesn’t certify the work.

Summit Survey on WhatsApp

+27 64 504 1195

Sammy answers on this business number.

Say Hi to Sammy
Both of your numbers are approved. Each phone keeps its own progress across all four practice jobs.

Your dashboard

Open the private link Thys sends you. It works on a phone or a computer. The plain address, summit.goukiewiet.com, doesn’t sign you in on its own.

05 · Where it stands

Working now, and what comes before your team uses it.

This is a working proof of concept. Real-device checks and Summit’s production templates are still ahead.

Working now

  • A real tester sent a photo, pin and voice note on WhatsApp. That produced a saved capture and draft PDF v1.
  • A private dashboard with the original photo, recording, transcript, pin and PDF versions.
  • Evidence stays on the job it was sent for, even when it arrives straight after a job switch.
  • Fuller example records: missing evidence, a failed check and a revision correction.
  • Fixed PDF versions. Corrections add a new version and keep the history.
  • Both of your phone numbers are approved for the pilot, each with its own progress.
Next stage

Adapt the agreed production templates, finish the device and language checks, and agree how review and email should work.

How it’s builtOptional · technical
WhatsApp Cloud APISigned webhookQueue (SQS FIFO)Worker: Scribe v2 + OpenRouterChecked by app codeS3 + DynamoDBPDF + dashboard
  • App. Rust backend with a lightweight HTML, CSS and JavaScript dashboard.
  • WhatsApp. Meta Cloud API with a signed webhook, approved-sender checks and duplicate protection.
  • Background work. An SQS FIFO queue. Each photo, pin and note keeps its selected job while it’s processed.
  • Storage. Private S3 originals and DynamoDB state, in an isolated AWS deployment.
  • Voice. ElevenLabs Scribe v2: one transcript per note, with automatic language detection.
  • Details. OpenRouter proposes structured details from explicit statements. App code checks them and decides what’s missing. The model can’t approve a survey.
  • Versions. Saving is tied to the current revision and a content hash. Report snapshots don’t change afterwards.
  • Access. HTTPS on a custom domain, private time-limited dashboard links and authenticated evidence downloads.
  • Failures. If transcription or extraction fails, the original media is kept and the step can be retried.
