AI only uses knowledge the person asking is allowed to see.

What does AI do for an engineering firm?

In engineering firms, Chifty links approved specifications, project files, notes and email threads so teams can see faster which status is binding and why a solution was chosen. Answers come with visible sources; professional judgement stays with the responsible engineers. The AI draws exclusively on content the person asking is authorized to access.

The problem is rarely missing documentation.

What's difficult is bringing valid information, its reasoning and the right project context together.

Which decision currently applies?

Multiple versions, follow-up questions and approvals make the valid status hard to recognize.

Why was this approach chosen?

The reasoning sits in a meeting note, an email, or only in someone's memory.

Who is allowed to see which information?

Internal, project-related and client-specific content needs different levels of access.

Chifty brings communication and approved company knowledge into a shared working context, without replacing existing specialist systems.

Answers with sources instead of isolated AI output.

Narrow down the valid context

Draw on project and specialist documents specifically for a given question.

Understand and compare documents

Summarize specifications, structure differences and surface open points.

Trace decisions

Find resolutions and their sources again later.

From technical query to a reliable working basis.

The specialist assessment stays with qualified employees.

  1. Capture the exchange

    Office summarizes the communication history and new attachments.

  2. Narrow down valid sources

    Knowledge only considers approved project areas and documents.

  3. Structure the information

    Chat prepares differences, assumptions and open points.

  4. Review professionally

    The responsible person assesses sources and results.

Chifty supports information processing. Approvals, professional decisions and external actions stay with the responsible employees.

Building project memory

Not just what was decided – but also why.

Technical projects change over time. Knowledge makes approved decisions, notes and documents jointly searchable and points to the sources used.

Example questions

  • Which specification is current?
  • Why was the original variant discarded?
  • What assumption underpinned the calculation?
  • Where was the interface last agreed on?

Every illustrative answer shows visible source references. Neutral example files are used, never a genuine customer source.

For technical project work and knowledge retention.

AI must not bypass permissions.

Chifty answers questions only with content the person asking is allowed to access. This applies to documents, notes and connected knowledge sources as well as context in Office and Chat.

A source a person is not allowed to see never flows into their answer.

Frequently asked questions

How does Chifty help find the currently valid planning status?
Multiple planning versions, queries and approvals quickly obscure which status is binding. For a specific question, Chifty draws only on approved project areas and files, works out differences and open points, and names the underlying sources. That way the valid status can be verified instead of guessed at.
Can Chifty make it traceable why a technical solution was chosen?
Yes. The reasoning behind technical resolutions is often scattered across meeting notes, emails or individual memory. Chifty Knowledge keeps approved decisions retrievable together with notes and files and shows where each answer comes from. So it remains findable later why a variant was discarded or which assumption went into a calculation.
Does Chifty replace our CAD or engineering systems?
No. Chifty replaces neither CAD nor calculation or other specialist applications. It links project communication and the firm's approved knowledge into one shared working context so information becomes findable and comparable. Professional assessment, approvals and external actions remain with the qualified, responsible staff.
Is using AI in an engineering firm compatible with the GDPR?
Chifty is built with data protection in mind: hosting takes place in Germany, AI processing runs in the EU by default (europe-west1), and company data is not used to train AI models. Access and models can be managed centrally. In addition, the AI answers questions exclusively with content the individual person is authorized for.
Which Chifty product should an engineering firm start with?
Usually with Chifty Knowledge: it merges specialist and project knowledge — documents, notes and knowledge sources — under graduated access rights and forms the knowledge base. Building on that, Chifty Office condenses email threads from project communication, while Chifty Chat supports understanding and comparing specifications. Both draw on the approved knowledge in daily work.
