A service company saves hours every week looking up information in manuals
A service company built an agent in two minutes that knows all their manuals. Employees ask questions in plain language and get the right answer instantly, including the page and document it came from. Searching through thick PDFs or calling the office is now a thing of the past.

Technicians, service engineers and office-based staff work with technical equipment every day. During every installation, fault or customer query, they face the same issue: the manual. It exists, but it is lengthy, highly technical and difficult to search through. This company wanted a way to make this information quickly accessible, saving people from spending ten minutes searching for answers.
Manuals exist. But nobody reads them
Every engineer knows the feeling. There is a fault. Or a customer asks a technical question. The answer is in a manual somewhere, you are sure of it. But which manual? On which page? And which version is the correct one?
In practice, nobody consults the manual. It takes too long. People call an experienced colleague. Or they guess.
The result: the same questions are asked repeatedly. Experienced staff are constantly interrupted. New employees learn slowly because knowledge is not available when they need it. And sometimes things go wrong, because the answer was slightly different to what they thought.
This is not a lack of knowledge. It is an access problem.
The agent knows every manual and answers instantly
The solution the company built: an agent that has read all the manuals. Team members ask a question in plain language. The agent searches the correct documents and provides a specific answer. Complete with the page number and document name, so the team member can check it themselves.
The agent works with your existing documents. No new system. No manual entry. Manuals are uploaded once. After that, everything is searchable.
The agent understands plain questions, not just search queries
A team member does not need to remember keywords. They ask the question just as they would to a colleague: "What is the maximum working pressure of this model?" or "How do I reset error code E5?" The agent understands the question and finds the answer in the correct documents.
The agent always includes the source
Every answer includes a reference to the document and page. This allows the team member to verify the answer themselves. And it ensures the organisation knows the agent is not simply making things up.
About the Platform
With Projects, you upload manuals once into a secure environment — making them instantly searchable for the whole team.
In AIAIAI, you can set up a secure space for a specific project or team. The manual agent in this case works from within such a space: all relevant documents are stored there, no one outside the team has access, and the agent only answers based on what is included. No guessing, no information from external sources.
How this helps the team
Experienced staff are interrupted less. They no longer need to answer the same questions that are already in the manual, allowing them to focus on work that truly requires their expertise.
New team members get up to speed faster. The information is always there, regardless of who is working that day.
And when a new version of a manual is released, you simply upload it again. From that moment on, the agent works with the updated version.
Less routine work, more time for added value
An engineer spending 10 minutes less per day searching saves more than 40 hours a year. For a team of 10, that is 400 hours. In other words, 10 extra weeks of work from the same engineers. Every single year.
The agent also makes multilingual manuals searchable
Many technical documents are in English or German. The agent translates and answers in English. Team members do not need to know technical German to find the answer.
