Quick check
Guess first, no penalty. You report "Line 3 machine broken again." What happens next?
A good problem report answers five things: what, where, when, what the screen said, and what you did. With those, maintenance can bring the right part on the first trip.
AI can help you put rough notes into that shape. It knows nothing you didn't tell it, so anything it adds about the cause, the time or the part is a guess someone might act on.
A worked example

Vague report
Line 3 machine broken again. Alarm going off.
The request that turns notes into the useful version: "Make a problem report with: machine and place, what I noticed and when, what the screen said, what I did, evidence. Use only my notes. Don't guess the cause."
