What if we told you that asphalt and AI go hand-in-hand? Believe it or not, they do. The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) is providing an innovative service for NAPA members and industry stakeholders called Hey NAPA. This AI tool provides a faster, more efficient way to access NAPA’s valuable content on all aspects of asphalt pavements. So what exactly does this mean? Hey NAPA is a search engine built on ChatGPT-4 by NAPA Associate Member XBE LLC, based on its own Hey Kayla search engine. Hey NAPA allows members and stakeholders to quickly glean information from NAPA’s vast repository of informational, technical, research and other documents. It’s easy to use; simply visit asphaltpavement.org and follow the link or go directly to heynapa.com. Then, enter a question and allow the tool to search its document inventory for relevant responses. Answers will be composed and displayed in near-real time in your web browser. The answers provided are generally reliable and can be further researched in the references included with each answer. However, Hey NAPA is not an engineer; it’s a helpful tool. Technical data and specifications should always be cross-checked with relevant sources, such as your local specifying agency. With today’s overwhelming and sometimes confusing information highway, Hey NAPA brings you answers you can trust. This tool has been extensively trained on published documents regarding a broad range of asphalt-related topics. While the answers it renders are “new,” they are based on these vetted documents. To make this even cooler, Hey NAPA is designed to understand prompts and generate responses in multiple languages, including but not limited to Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese. While the system can understand and respond in these languages, the accuracy and quality may vary based on the complexity of the language and the topic at hand. For the most accurate and comprehensive responses, particularly on specialized subjects related to the asphalt pavement business, it’s recommended to communicate with the system in English. Even so, this tool is ready to assist today’s diverse workforce. Long gone are the days of endlessly sifting through documents to get an answer. Your time is valuable, so get started with Hey NAPA — you have nothing to lose! 16
