AI assistant · add-on

Ask your records, in your own words.

The assistant answers questions about your tables, draws charts and summarizes long records. It sees only what you can see, never changes or signs anything, and every use is logged.

Answers come from the records you can see, with charts and links to them.

Questions

What manufacturing teams ask us.

We're ISO 9001 only. Is this overkill?

No: you use the same tables and signatures, and leave out what you don't need. Electronic signatures and audit trails make audits quicker whether or not a regulation demands them.

Does it do PPAP or control plans?

There's no ready-made PPAP template yet; you can build PPAP elements and control plans as linked tables and pages with approvals.
