URBAN AI LABS

For quality management in manufacturing

Which revision is valid? Cited to the source, in seconds.

The AI knowledge base for your documents: it finds the valid procedure, compares revisions and plants, and checks documents against your own rules. It runs on your infrastructure, respects your access rights and names the exact place in the document for every answer.

Check your own SOPs in 30 minutes

Bring two revisions of a procedure. We show validity, changes and sources. No obligation, no sales pitch.

What is ConvoPilot DocuChat?

ConvoPilot DocuChat is an AI knowledge base for quality management and document control in manufacturing. It answers questions about procedures, work instructions and inspection plans, names the valid revision, compares versions and plants, and backs every answer with the document, version and exact location. It runs on the customer's own infrastructure and applies access rights already at search time.

The knowledge is there. You just cannot find it.

Thousands of documents: procedures, work instructions, inspection plans, standards, customer requirements. Spread across SharePoint, network drives, Confluence and the DMS.

  • It takes a while until someone can say which revision is valid today, and for which plant.
  • Comparing two versions means laying them side by side and reading line by line. A comparison from ChatGPT or Copilot still has to be double-checked afterwards.
  • Before the audit, the search begins: is there an internal rule for this customer requirement, or is it missing?
  • An answer without a source does not help. A wrong revision is a nonconformity.

And the next hurdle often comes from IT: cloud AI on quality documents that anyone who ever had access can read? That is exactly what you do not want.

Three things you can do from day one

Find the valid version, with proof

Ask in plain language: "Who owns VA-08-01?", "Which documents are due for review?", "What applies in plant 2?" The answer names document number, version, validity, location and the exact place in the document. Superseded versions are told apart from valid ones.

Compare revisions and plants

"What changed between 4.1 and 4.2?" "Compare the procedure across all plants." The system reads the documents in full, even in large collections, and summarizes differences with source references. Also between the German and the English version.

Check a document against your rules

Load a customer requirement, an audit report or a draft into the chat. The system checks it against your knowledge base without indexing it. If it finds no matching internal rule, it says exactly that ("no internal rule found") instead of making something up.

Also: text recognition for scanned PDFs and images, process diagrams directly in the chat, folders and tags, filters by document number, version, validity and location.

60 days. One department. Fixed price. You decide at the end.

  1. 1

    Weeks 1-2

    Clarify permissions before anything is indexed

    We map which documents exist and who may read them, and deliver a permissions report with findings and a proposal of which documents should be included and which excluded.

  2. 2

    Weeks 3-8

    Setup, three use cases live

    Installation on your side or in your EU environment, connecting the documents, rights taken from your groups. Plus training for your team on your own use cases.

  3. 3

    Day 60

    You decide

    Extend to further areas or switch it off. If you switch it off, we delete the data and document it, and you keep the permissions report.

The pilot has a fixed price with a scope agreed in writing. There is no per-user license fee. You receive an offer after an initial analysis.

Why your IT and data protection teams can say yes

For everyone who still has security questions to settle after the conversation with quality.

Access rights apply to the AI too

Permissions are applied at search time, not only when results are displayed. Anyone who may not read a document gets neither hits nor citations from it. Rights for users, groups and folders, with inheritance.

Your documents stay in your environment

Container deployment on your infrastructure or in your EU environment. With local models for answers, embeddings and reranking, no document text leaves your boundary. Models from external providers are optional and selectable per organization.

Every statement is sourced

Answers contain citations with their exact location. They are preserved even if a document is deleted or reprocessed later.

Your permission landscape becomes visible

Our permission audit shows nested groups, broken inheritance and special rights that have accumulated over the years.

The vector database is secured

Access protection for the vector database is documented and checked at startup.

Up front: we are not TISAX certified today; preparation is planned. We provide architecture, data flow and deletion concept in writing before the start, and a fixed contact person sits in your security review.

Who this is for, and who it is not for

This fits if ...

  • You are responsible for quality management or document control in manufacturing, with several hundred to thousands of documents.
  • Your company has roughly 150 to 800 employees, possibly several plants, and works to ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 13485 or similar.
  • You cannot or do not want to use cloud AI from US providers for quality documents.

This does not fit if ...

  • You are looking for a document management or QM system as a replacement. We do not replace your DMS.
  • You are looking for a free test without support. The pilot is paid and guided.

Software from Germany, with practice from manufacturing

URBAN AI LABS has been developing software for over 25 years, most recently with a focus on AI. ConvoPilot is the result of conversations with our customers. We guide your pilot and security review personally with our experts. The domain practice comes from our customers and our partner network: experience from quality management, manufacturing, automotive and insurance flows into the setup and the use cases.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace our DMS or QM system?

No. It sits on top and makes your documents searchable by question. Document control stays in your system.

How reliable is the answer about the valid revision?

Every answer names the source, version and exact location, so you can verify it. Where no internal rule exists, the system says so instead of guessing. We test answer quality with our own evaluation suite, including against invented rules. We do not guarantee error-free answers: the controlled document remains authoritative.

Which systems can you connect?

Today: Confluence, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, Notion, SAP Document Management, M-Files, DocuWare and file upload (PDF, Word, text, HTML and images with text recognition). We agree further sources with you within the scope of the pilot.

Is our data held by a US provider?

Not in container deployment with local models. You decide which models run, and we put it in writing before the start.

Are you TISAX or ISO 27001 certified?

Not yet. TISAX preparation is planned. Your documents stay in your environment. We provide architecture, data flow and deletion concept, and a contact person sits in your security review.

What does it cost?

The pilot is a fixed price depending on scope (one plant or department, type of deployment), followed by a monthly support fee. There is no per-user fee. We give you the specific offer after the conversation.

Bring two revisions of a procedure. We show you the rest.

We usually reply within one business day. No sales pitch, no obligation.
