Xgest: Ask Your Manuals

Now Xgest does appliances too. Snap the rating plate to set one up, then ask “what’s that error code?” — answered from your own manual, with the exact part a tap away.

A light comes on in your dashboard. An amber horseshoe with an exclamation mark in it. You have no idea what it means — and no idea what it's called, which means you can't look it up.

Your manual knows. It's 532 pages, it's in the glovebox, and it calls that thing a TPMS indicator, a phrase you have never heard in your life.

Xgest closes that gap. Ask "what's the orange horseshoe light?" and it works out you mean TPMS, finds the page, and tells you what your manual says. Then it shows you the page.

ASK IN YOUR OWN WORDS You don't need to know the right term. That's the whole problem — the manual speaks manual, and you don't. Searching a Honda HR-V manual for "orange horseshoe light" matches zero of its 532 pages. Xgest translates first.

NO WORDS AT ALL? PHOTOGRAPH IT A symbol on a dial. An unlabelled button. A light you've never seen. Point the camera at it instead of trying to describe it.

EVERY ANSWER CITES A PAGE Tap the citation and the real page opens. Not a summary of the page — the page. So you never have to take our word for it.

THE ONE IN THE DRAWER Some manuals were never a PDF and never will be. The card that came with the dishwasher. The booklet for the mower. The folded insert in the box. Photograph the pages and Xgest reads them, on your phone. Older scanned PDFs — pictures of pages with no text behind them — work the same way.

ONE THING, SEVERAL MANUALS The owner's manual and the nav supplement. The use-and-care guide and the installation sheet. Keep them together under the thing they belong to.

ASK YOUR WHOLE SHELF (Plus) Don't know which manual has the answer — or which appliance is even beeping? Ask once. Xgest searches every manual you own and tells you which one each part of the answer came from. Unlimited manuals and shelf-wide ask come with Xgest Plus, a one-time purchase.

YOUR MANUALS STAY YOURS Xgest reads and indexes your manuals on your phone. They are never uploaded. When you ask a question, what leaves is your question and a few paragraphs from the handful of pages your phone picked — never the manual. Pages you photograph never leave at all.
