Frequently Asked Questions

Randy is an artificial intelligence system that has been trained specifically for water and wastewater operators. Unlike general AI systems that search the internet for information, Randy operates as a closed loop system, meaning he only knows information from trusted sources like EPA standards, DEP regulations, and industry-approved training materials.

When you ask Randy a question, he processes your question using advanced natural language understanding and searches through his specialized knowledge base to provide you with accurate answers based on regulatory standards and training materials. Randy has been in training for three years to become an expert in all aspects of water and wastewater operations, from treatment processes to mechanical systems to exam preparation.

You can chat with Randy through our website or mobile app. Just type your question in plain English, and Randy will provide a helpful answer. If you need more clarification, you can continue the conversation and Randy will explain things in different ways until you understand.

Randy can help you with any aspect of water and wastewater operator licensing exam preparation and understanding treatment processes. This includes explaining biological treatment processes, clarifying how mechanical systems work in treatment plants, understanding electrical components and control systems, reviewing chemistry and mathematics for water treatment, studying regulations and compliance requirements, and preparing for licensing exams at any level.

Randy can break down complex concepts into simpler terms, provide practice questions and scenarios, explain why certain processes work the way they do, and help you connect different concepts together. Whether you are just starting your career or studying for an advanced license, Randy adapts to your level and helps you learn effectively.

Randy is available anytime you need help. Study at midnight? Randy is there. Need a quick review during your lunch break? Randy is ready. Have a question while working at the plant? Ask Randy.
