AI tool
Obsiva
Obsiva turns photos and voice notes captured on site into written inspection reports with AI-generated findings and summaries. It is for inspectors, safety officers, and construction supervisors who need to deliver a PDF before leaving the job.
About Obsiva
Obsiva is a mobile tool that converts site photos and voice notes into a PDF inspection report. It runs on Android devices and works offline. The AI writes each finding-including description, severity, responsible party, and action-plus an executive summary, and reports can be generated in English or bilingual English/Spanish.
Review
Obsiva targets a specific friction point: field personnel who capture inspection data in messaging apps but still need to produce formal reports. Instead of rebuilding everything in a word processor after hours, users snap photos, mark issues, and dictate notes on site. The app structures that input into a shareable PDF before they leave the location.
Key Features
- Photo capture with on-image issue marking
- Voice dictation that the AI converts into written findings
- Automatic structuring of each finding into description, severity, responsible party, and action fields
- AI-generated executive summary
- Offline operation with bilingual report output (English/Spanish)
Pricing and Value
The free plan includes 3 shared reports per month. The Pro tier removes that cap, adds unlimited reports, cloud backup, and custom logo placement. Pricing for Pro is not yet defined on the current product page. For users who need more than three reports monthly, the free tier serves as a trial rather than an ongoing solution.
Pros
- Eliminates the evening routine of copying photos and typing notes into Word
- No form setup required-users start by talking, not configuring templates
- Functions without an internet connection during field work
- Before/after photo tracking helps monitor open issues across site visits
- Bilingual output accommodates crews or clients who need Spanish reports
Cons
- Android-only at this stage; iOS users cannot access the tool
- Free tier caps at 3 reports per month, which won't cover a full work week for most professionals
- Not well suited for organizations that require structured checklist compliance with predefined form fields and audit trails
Obsiva fits solo inspectors, safety officers, and construction supervisors who already document issues through photos and voice messages and want to skip the manual report-writing step. It's less appropriate for teams locked into rigid compliance frameworks where pre-built checklists and audit histories are mandatory. The offline capability and bilingual output address two practical field realities that many reporting tools overlook.
