Vericut Unveils AI-Powered Tools

Vericut, a company offering manufacturing software solutions, has released two artificial intelligence-powered tools: Vericut Intelligence (VI) and Vericut Assistant (VA). These new resources are set to impact how users interact with Vericut's suite of software products.

Vericut Intelligence (VI) is an AI-driven solution designed to serve as a knowledge hub for all of Vericut's software offerings, including Vericut, Composites, Vericut Optimizer, and various other modules and features. This resource is accessible to everyone and provides in-depth information on any aspect of Vericut’s software, from basic inquiries like “What is Force?” to more detailed questions about specific functionalities like “What is X-Caliper?”

While Vericut Intelligence focuses on providing product knowledge, Vericut Assistant (VA) is designed to assist users with the practical application of Vericut software. VA offers step-by-step guidance on how to use various features, answering how-to questions directly within the software. For example, users can ask, “How do I use AUTO-DIFF?” and receive precise instructions. As VA evolves, it will also start to interact directly with the software, allowing users to perform tasks like, “Add a tool with these criteria.”

"Our goal with Vericut Intelligence and Vericut Assistant is to simplify access to this wealth of information, making it intuitive and easy for users to deepen their understanding of our software," says Gene Granata, director of Product Management at Vericut. "These tools will deliver intelligence that’s incredibly useful and relevant, streamlining the user experience and setting a new standard for product knowledge accessibility."

The platform is designed to protect customers’ privacy, ensuring that customer data is not used to train the AI.

“The introduction of Vericut Intelligence and Vericut Assistant marks the beginning of a long-term strategy to integrate AI into Vericut’s products, with the ultimate goal of maximizing productivity while ensuring privacy,” says Frankie Cates, director of Information and Security at Vericut and the developer behind VI and VA.

“This is the first step in our AI roadmap to enhance the customer experience, simplifying onboarding for new users while providing advanced support for seasoned professionals,” says Shin Voeks, president of Vericut.

These tools will be available with the next major release of Vericut.
