Build complex AI without getting boxed in
Multi-step quote graphs, document roles, CAD in the browser. Swap how a node thinks without rebuilding the floor process around it. Author a component when the palette is not enough.
Automate workflows. Keep the expertiseMANUFACTURING INTELLIGENCE CANVAS
Turn your shopfloor operations into unified visual workflows. Lehrling handles the repetitive checks—your experts keep total control over every call.

Build AI agentswhere it actually matters
Use AI agents to solve problems that they are actually good at.
Runs where the work already happens
Kai watches the desk and the floor. Knowledge stays with the part, not in a slide deck. Use the hosted demo today; shop-owned deployment is the point of a pilot.
Let people and logic guide AI decisions
Give Analyze Documents a role and an expected output. Keep estimators on the cost model. Inspect every execution: the file, the prompt shape, and what Kai returned.
Move fast. Break nothing.
Short feedback loops that keep quoting and programming in flow.
- Re-run a single node — not the whole quote graph
- Replace a part or document without resetting the canvas
- Default template already wires CAD Analyzer to Cost Model
- Live STEP/STL analysis in the browser, nothing uploaded for geometry
Case studies
RFQ → first-pass quote
How estimators close RFQs without waiting on a senior
“The canvas is the unlock. Chat is useful, but PathCraft is what lets you put CAD, documents, and cost on one path you can actually explain.”
Estimating lead · precision job shop
Session → shop memory
How CAM knowledge stops walking out with one programmer
“Kai sitting beside the CAM session is how the next person gets the why — not just the toolpath file.”

Enterprise-ready
Reliable. Scalable. Secure.
Deploy the way a shop actually buys software. Watch agents without losing control of the quote.
Security and control
Invite-gated demo, signed-in sessions, shop data stays in your conversation and files — not scraped into a public model card.
Observability
Canvas status on every live node. Document analysis you can re-run. Chat history you can read.
Builder experience
Drag-and-drop graph, custom components, CAD and LLM nodes in the same editor.
AI governance
Role prompts, expected-output contracts, human markup on cost. Kai does not silently ship a number.
“I don't want another black-box copilot. I want to see the graph that priced the part.”
“Dropping the STEP on the canvas and watching features land is the first time AI felt like a junior on my bench.”
“The role field on Analyze Documents is the whole product. I tell it to be a quality engineer. It behaves like one.”
“We don't have time to train. If it can't learn while we quote, it doesn't get on the floor.”
“Custom nodes mean I'm not waiting on a vendor roadmap for fixture planning.”
“Cost model next to CAD is how quoting should have worked ten years ago.”
Simple enough to see. Powerful enough to ship.
Join the shops building AI automation they can actually explain — on the canvas, not in a prompt graveyard.
