It doesn’t just talk — it shows. The assistant pulls up images, diagrams, and even safety warnings directly from the manual, all in response to natural voice commands. No other tool delivers this kind of hands-free, visual support right when it’s needed most.

Tech Assistant

Tech Assistant takes the complexity out of technical search. Instead of flipping through manuals or trying to remember the exact terms, users can simply ask questions — by voice or text, in any language. The assistant searches across multiple documents at once to find the most relevant information, fast. No need to know the right file, page, or keyword. It surfaces accurate answers directly from original content and can translate and combine relevant sections into clear, step-by-step instructions with supporting images. Whether troubleshooting or training, Tech Assistant reduces mental load and gets you to the solution faster.

Back in the late '80s and early '90s, I wrote my thesis on tractor automation as part of my studies in agricultural technology. The developments have progressed in the direction I anticipated, but at that time, no one fully grasped the potential of artificial intelligence. It's a crucial piece of the puzzle today!
