What AI Survey Access Is

Every generated report ends with an "Ask this survey with your AI" block: a QR code, a short link of the form `roadscope.app/ai/…`, and example questions tailored to the report type. Anyone who receives the report can open that link and connect the survey to their own AI assistant — then ask questions like "What is the lowest clearance on this route?" in plain language and get answers grounded in the actual survey data.

Where the Access Link Appears

  • **Generated reports** — every report from the Reports Hub (including the Maximum Envelope report) ends with the AI access block
  • **Survey export ZIPs** — single-survey exports and the all-in-one bundle include `README_AI_ACCESS.md`, `ai-access.json`, and a ready-to-scan QR image
  • **Shared maps** — recipients of a full-survey shared map see a "Connect this survey to your AI" panel once the access has been opened by a generated report or export

    • What the Recipient Sees

    Opening the link shows a setup page with the survey name, a copyable Server URL and Access token, and step-by-step setup tabs for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot. Five example questions show what the assistant can answer. The QR code and link carry only a share identifier — never the token itself.

    Scope: Read-Only, This Survey Only

    The access token is scoped to a single survey and is strictly read-only. The connected assistant can read POIs, measurements, routes, and report data for that survey — it cannot modify anything, and it cannot see any other survey in your account. Limited-scope viewer shares (for example, a share restricted to one phase) never expose the AI access link.

    Expiry & Revocation

    Tokens are valid for 90 days; the setup page shows the exact "valid until" date. The survey owner can end access at any time — once revoked or expired, the link shows a polite "access has ended" page instead of the token, and the recipient is told to ask the sender for a fresh link. Regenerating a report or export as the owner refreshes the access automatically.
