Have we ever engineered a worm shaft before?
KA
Yes. The project files contain exactly one engineered worm shaft: drawing number 02.2015, delivered to Bergmann Lebensmittel GmbH as the drive component of the palletizing system PA-2024. The workshop drawing is available in the archive.

STATUS QUO
The knowledge is in the building. Those who need it can't find it.
Engineering knowledge is scattered: in PDFs, on SharePoint, in people's heads. With every senior engineer who leaves, a piece of it disappears. Permanently.
WHERE THE KNOWLEDGE LIVES
- 01PDF archivesEngineering handbooks, standardsscattered, no full-text search
- 02SharePoint, Drive, network drivesProject documents, requirementspoorly indexed, version confusion
- 03Experienced engineers' mindsInstitutional knowledge, rationaleretires when the colleague does
- 04Past projectsLessons learned, solved problemsnot indexed, gets reinvented
20 Prozent of the work week is lost to searching. Per employee, that's one working day per week, one working week per month, over two months per year.

WHAT KOASSIST DOES
Cite, translate, surface conflicts. This is what makes KoAssist different.
Six capabilities that make a real difference in day-to-day engineering work.
Synonym mapping
Finds what's named differently.
Three terms, one meaning. KoAssist finds matches even across DE/EN mixed terminology.
Structure understanding
Reads tables and tolerances.
Not just prose. Tolerance tables, bills of materials and position references too.
Version tracking
Knows which document is current.
Superseded versions are flagged, not hidden. The approved revision stays front and center.
Knowledge spaces
Knowledge separated by topic.
Engineering, standards, sales. Each domain has its own space. KoAssist only answers from the knowledge in the current space.
No hallucination
Honest over invented.
KoAssist shows how much was searched and suggests related sources or questions instead of guessing an answer.
VOICES FROM THE PILOT PHASE
We don't see AI as a replacement for engineers, but as an amplifier. With Soneo AI's engineering assistant, we're making decades of know-how available to the next generation, faster and directly usable.

THREE OUTCOMES
What actually changes.
From pilot conversations with engineering teams across the DACH region: three outcomes that happen when you switch from file searching to KoAssist.
01 · Time back, per week
3-6h
Per engineer, per week. Instead of searching across SharePoint, PDFs and colleagues' memories, the answer comes back with a source in seconds.
02 · Instead of hours, per question
<0 sec
One question, one answer, three sources. Research that used to take half a morning is done by lunch.
03 · Senior know-how, on demand
0+ years
Institutional knowledge from project files, requirements documents and internal specs stays accessible, even when experienced engineers leave the company.
USE CASES
Three tasks that land on every engineering desk, every day.
Answers from your standards, in seconds.
Engineering teams check standards like DIN, ISO, VDI and AD 2000 every day. KoAssist works with your licensed collections. You keep control over versions and licensing.
TYPICAL QUESTIONS
- Which weld quality levels per AD 2000?
- Tightening torques for M16 per VDI 2230?
- Safety category per DIN EN ISO 13849?
OUTCOME
- Cited with file, page and section
- From your licensed collections
- Version-clear, always the current revision

If your question isn't here, book a demo and we'll answer it directly.
What makes KoAssist different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT answers from its general training data, without sources and without reference to specific documents. KoAssist works exclusively with the standards, specs and project documents in your organization, and delivers every answer with file and page number. Plus: hosted in the EU, no training on your data.
Does the AI hallucinate? How reliable are the answers?
Hallucinations are greatly reduced by the source principle: answers are generated exclusively from available documents and always include a source reference. If information isn't in the document base, that is reported transparently. No fabricated answers.
What happens with our internal documents?
Your documents stay in your systems. Processing happens in German data centers. KoAssist uses your data exclusively to answer your questions. It never flows into model training.
How long does setup take?
Typically under two weeks. Connecting standard systems like SharePoint, Google Drive or network drives takes a few days. Specialized PLM and ERP integrations may add one to two more weeks depending on the system.
What does it cost?
KoAssist starts at EUR 49 per engineer per month on the Solo plan for individual users and very small teams. For engineering departments and project teams, there are flat-rate packages instead of per-seat pricing, regardless of exact user count, typically much cheaper per head than Solo. Onboarding (indexing the document base) and connecting internal systems like ERP, PDM, PLM or CRM are billed separately as a one-time fee, depending on data volume and integration complexity. We discuss specific pricing in the demo.
What happens if we cancel?
Since your data stays in your systems, cancellation is straightforward: KoAssist is disconnected, your data remains unchanged. No data migration needed, no lock-in.
