The first industrial sales agent with application engineering built in.
Kai understands manufacturing processes, materials, and tooling. It reads RFQ documents, configures products, matches catalogue items, and prepares quotes — so your team closes faster.
What Kai does. Five capabilities that turn incoming requests into draft quotes.
Application Engineering Logic
Understands manufacturing processes, materials, tolerances, and tooling. Kai doesn't just parse text — it reasons about what's technically feasible.
Document Understanding
Reads RFQs, technical drawings, spec sheets, and emails. Extracts structured requirements from unstructured documents with confidence scoring.
Product Matching
Interprets customer requirements and surfaces the best-fit product from your catalogue. Handles synonyms, cross-references, and partial specifications.
Quote Preparation
Configures products, calculates pricing, and drafts complete quotes for human review. Your team approves — Kai never auto-sends.
Continuous Learning
Improves with every quote your team processes. Corrections refine extraction accuracy and matching intelligence over time.
The intelligence layer. Kai powers AI across the entire Kabaido platform.
Deep dive
Manufacturing domain knowledge
Kai doesn't treat documents as generic text. It understands manufacturing terminology — tolerances, surface finishes, material grades, thread specifications, coating processes — at the level of an experienced application engineer. When a customer requests 'Ra 0.4 finish on K20 carbide with TiAlN coating', Kai knows that means precision grinding followed by PVD coating, and estimates cycle times accordingly.
Multi-format document processing
PDF technical drawings, Excel specification sheets, Word purchase orders, free-text emails — Kai handles them all. Multi-item RFQs with different specs per line item are parsed automatically, with each line mapped to the appropriate product configurator. Attachments are extracted, OCR'd where needed, and structured into machine-readable requirements.
Intelligent action execution
Kai doesn't just understand — it executes. It navigates to the right product configurator, fills in material, dimensions, coating, and quantity fields, triggers the pricing engine, and produces a draft quote ready for human review. The entire flow from incoming RFQ to reviewable quote happens without manual data entry.
Analytics and insights
Every quote Kai processes generates data. Win/loss patterns reveal which product configurations close most often. Response time tracking shows where bottlenecks are. Pricing accuracy trends highlight where manual adjustments diverge from automated estimates. Over time, Kai surfaces actionable recommendations — not dashboards you have to interpret.
Trust and control. Intelligence you can rely on, guardrails you can verify.
Human-in-the-loop
Kai prepares. You decide. Every quote goes through human review before it reaches the customer. No exceptions.
Confidence scoring
Every extraction and match gets a confidence score. High-confidence items proceed. Low-confidence items are flagged with the source text highlighted for your review.
Never auto-sends
Kai never emails a customer, never sends a quote, never commits to pricing. It drafts, suggests, and waits for your approval.
