Ask a question…

KoAssist is an AI and can make mistakes. Please check the cited sources.

How an answer comes about

From the question to a sourced answer.

  1. Ask the question

    In your department's knowledge room, in plain language. No search operators, no file names.

  2. Search the repositories

    Standards, specifications, bills of materials and project folders are read in one pass.

  3. Answer with evidence

    Every statement carries file, page and section. Looking it up takes one click.

  4. Take it as a file

    Ask, and it becomes a spreadsheet or a report, ready to pass on.

Capabilities

What the Knowledge Assistant does in everyday work.

Six things that come up in daily engineering work and are spread across several tools today.

  • Searches the entire document inventory

    Standards, specifications, bills of materials and project folders are searched in one pass. You do not need to know which repository holds the answer.

    Which standard applies to this weld?All sources
    DIN EN ISO 5817 · quality levelsStandards
    WPS-22 welding procedureSharePoint
    Inspection record 2024-118Network drive
    1,248 documents

  • Backs every statement with its source

    Behind each sentence sit file, page and section. Looking it up takes one click, and anyone who asks gets the passage instead of a claim.

    Assembly 4711 requires quality level B1, inspected visually.

    Quality level B to ISO 5817, visual inspection before painting.

  • Reads your mailbox too, if you want

    Plenty gets decided by mail and recorded nowhere else. An old agreement from Outlook counts, with sender, date and attachment.

  • Returns results as Excel, Word or PDF

    Lists and tables come as Excel, a report as Word or PDF. A Notes sheet records which documents the file was built from.

  • Reads the drawing, not just the text

    Questions about dimensions, tolerances and the title block are answered from the sheet itself, with the page as proof. The geometry itself is not measured.

    The left bearing seat is dimensioned Ø25 h6, roughness Ra 0.8.

  • Knows your parts, under any name

    The same part is called something else in purchasing than in engineering. KoAssist brings the spellings together.

Searching becomes looking up.

1 to 2.5 hours a day

At five questions per engineer. Times the size of your department.

Indicative values per question

The knowledge stays in the company.

When a colleague retires, the reasoning from back then does not leave with them. It sits in the change record, and KoAssist finds it.

FAQ

Common questions.

Which file formats does KoAssist read?

PDF, Office documents, plain text and scanned material via text recognition. On drawings it reads the title block and any embedded text; geometry checking is handled by the drawing check module.

How current are the answers?

Synchronisation with your source systems runs continuously, so changes and deletions follow through. Your repositories stay authoritative; KoAssist does not keep a second truth.

Does everyone see everything?

No. Permissions come from your directory service. If someone cannot open a document in the source system, they get no answer from it and never see the source.

What happens when the answer is not in the document base?

KoAssist reports the gap instead of filling it. That is the key difference from a general chatbot and the reason the answers hold up in daily engineering work.

The other two modules.

Drawing Checker

Checks technical drawings against your stored engineering guidelines. Every finding points to the spot in the drawing.
