AI field guidance for apprentices and trade workers. Check your work with your phone camera, get real-time voice feedback, and only escalate to the supervisor when it actually matters.
Designed for the ecosystem
The system works — but it's under strain. Apprentice numbers are up 59% since 2020, while experienced supervisors are harder to find and more expensive to pull off productive work.

Employer Survey 2023"The first 2 years of an apprenticeship are toughest on both employers and apprentice as the skill level of apprentices is very low… Support for employers in first years is essential."— Brick & Stonelaying Employer, National Employer Survey 2023

SkillFlow sits between the apprentice and the supervisor. It doesn't replace expertise — it compresses the time cost of transferring it.
Apprentice opens a workflow on site. SkillFlow guides what to check, what evidence to capture, and what common mistakes to watch for — using voice and camera.
AI verifies visible completion on each step. It flags uncertainty, confirms what looks right, and prepares a structured review pack — photos, notes, status.
The supervisor receives an exception queue — not constant interruptions. "3 items passed, 1 unclear, 1 needs review." Senior time goes to where it matters.
SkillFlow is designed for the entire apprenticeship ecosystem — from the worker on-site to the programme director setting national strategy.
"Know you're on the right track before you ask."
"Reduce avoidable supervisor interruptions."
"Bridge the theory-to-practice gap at scale."
The demand isn't slowing down. Construction GVA hit €14.3bn in 2024. Electrical and plumbing installation alone accounts for 28% of the sector. The question isn't whether trade workers are needed — it's how fast they can become productive.
Not generic "AI for trades." These are specific, repeatable workflows where apprentice guidance and check-my-work actually reduce supervisor load and improve quality.
Apprentice completes conduit routing, back-box placement, cable runs, or trunking — then uses SkillFlow to verify before calling the supervisor.
Sockets, switches, faceplates, labeling, visible finishing — room by room. SkillFlow guides what to show and flags what's missing or inconsistent.
Apprentice points camera at installed components or a training rig. SkillFlow connects what they see to what they learned — protective devices, bonding routes, wiring rules.
SkillFlow is built around employer obligations under the SOLAS Code — supporting supervised practice and structured exposure to relevant work.
Final judgment stays with the qualified person. SkillFlow escalates, it never autonomously signs off.
SkillFlow is a guidance and evidence-capture layer. It does not replace statutory checks, live testing, or qualified sign-off.
Over time, SkillFlow reveals where apprentices repeatedly struggle — enabling targeted coaching, curriculum feedback, and system-level insights.
We're working with Dublin-based electrical contractors to test SkillFlow on real apprenticeship workflows. If your firm has apprentices doing repeatable installation work, we want to talk.
