Topic: Edit the *.qet project with A.I. tool

Sorry to reappear like a walking ghost, but the idea is keeping me awake at night:

Given that:
- QElectroTech is completely open source
- the XML in *.qet files is perfectly structured and understandable

Why not integrate an AI chatbot into the QET interface to make all possible and imaginable changes to the *.qet file?

For example:
“Rename terminal block -X1 to -X4 throughout the project”
“Check that there are no redundant terminals in terminal block -X5”
“Change the font of all markers to size 12.”
“Create a new page numbered 10 using page 8 as a template and increment all device markers by 1.”
“Make me a list of all devices contained in the +B01 box.”
“Check that all devices have item data entered.”
Etc.
The potential is endless.

Beyond implementing the chatbot in the GUI, what we also need is the ability to update the *.qet file on the fly without restarting QET after each change.

Re: Edit the *.qet project with A.I. tool

Hi Nuri,

I 'm very happy to see you again here after this long delay, welcome. nomicons/wink

Yes, Nuri, that's a good idea. AI could complement the search and replace tool (Ctrl + F) for more complex actions or modifications.

As I have never used Ai like Claude, ChatGPT or others before, I am not really in a position to give my opinion on them at this time.

Best regards,
Laurent

I prefer the approach of like qet_terminal_tb_generator and other plugins to make a backup and rename the project before using AI changes...

For now, for AI I'm watching from afar to see what happens...

Wow, that would be fantastic. Currently, I always do this with xmlcopyeditor.

Hello friends,

Hi Scorpio

As a help for my colleagues I create companion app for create

I'm using Claude for prompting and app need API from Anthropic. This
version of application will be free. If you are interested, in download
link you can find beta version of my app. Use C++ was not possible so app

## Tips for Writing Prompts

- **Always specify the folio** — e.g. "on folio 1" or "on folio 2".
- **Use standard tag prefixes** — K for contactors, Q for breakers, F for fuses/relays, M for motors, S for switches.
- **Reference grid positions** — use column numbers (0, 1, 2...) and row letters (A, B, C...) for precise placement.
- **Be specific about wiring** — name both elements and terminals you want connected.
- **Use the Element Library** — click "Insert in prompt" on a library element to include its exact path.
- **Multilingual support** — you can write prompts in Slovak, Czech, German, French, Spanish, and other languages.
