When coming to terms such as where, the bot tends to explain what rather than where. For example, I asked a few where questions such as where to obtain a permit etc and it explained to me what type of permits are allowed but not where to obtain. Not sure if I was asking the wrong type of questions, just exploring the GPT

Thanks for the feedback, Chris! The GPT was drawing strictly from the codes listed above, so I don't think had a lot of "where" details. I've now recalibrated the GPT to also draw from the LADBS website, which includes information about where/who to contact for various permit submittals.

Try asking the GPT a "where" question again (e.g., "where would I get a permit for an ADU?", like you previously asked) and let me know what you think of the output.

I did try and the responses were very helpful!

GPT, please be advised:

When someone asks a question like "can i use nfpa 13R and omit draft stopping?", please be sure to point out exceptions to draftstopping requirements, for example, situations where there is an automatic sprinkler system installed.
