WHERE Ai FITS
TELL US WHAT YOUR SHOP NEEDS TO SOLVE.
We start with your manufacturing problem—not the technology. Then we figure out where AI can actually help and prove it with a working solution.
Built around real manufacturing problems — not AI demos.
CHIP — CNC AI Co-Pilot
An AI-powered co-pilot for CNC machine operators. Trained on real shop floor knowledge, validated by working machinists, built to answer the questions operators actually ask.
✕ CHIP Is Not
- A CAM system or toolpath generator
- A replacement for your lead machinist
- A G-code writing tool
- Enterprise software with a six-figure implementation
- A generic AI chatbot with no machining knowledge
- Built for programmers at desks
✓ CHIP Is
- A shop floor troubleshooting and teaching AI
- A tool that amplifies your senior machinist's reach
- A phone app any operator can use immediately
- Built by a machinist who uses it every day
- Built for the person at the machine

By Machinists Who Tried to Break It.
Working machinists put CHIP up against real problems on real machines. Here's what happened.
Validated by a Former Makino Field Service Engineer
Textbook accurate. Couldn't be tricked.
A former Makino field service engineer spent time actively trying to find errors in CHIP's reasoning across CNC milling diagnostics, feeds and speeds, alarm codes, and specialized EDM machine specifics. He could not trip it up.
"I'm really impressed with this. The explanation of why behind the answers is textbook accurate for the milling stuff. I haven't been able to trick it into giving a wrong answer at all."
— Former Makino Field Service Engineer, Active Machinist5-Axis Pallet Clamp Alarm — Diagnosed in One Conversation.
A St. Louis shop had an intermittent pallet clamp alarm on their Okuma 5-axis that stumped their own maintenance tech — requiring an OEM service call. A machinist described the symptom to CHIP and got the root cause, a full checklist, and a maintenance hand-off summary in minutes.
"It absolutely diagnosed the problem correctly. This was a problem we were having with our Okuma 5-axis a while back. The app got it right. Pretty cool."
— Verified Machinist, St. Louis ShopG12.1 Hex Milling Macro — Built in One Conversation.
A machinist needed help structuring a parametric hex milling macro. CHIP walked through the polar interpolation logic, variable structure, C-axis sequencing, and safety checks — teaching the reasoning behind every decision. The machinist built it. CHIP made sure he understood exactly why it worked.
"This is exactly what I needed — variables, corner radius, Z depth passes, the whole thing."

Manufacturing Operations.
Machining, fabrication, welding, composites, assembly — the process changes, the problems don't. Scrap, training time, and workflows that depend on one person's head. We build what your operation actually needs, at a scale that makes sense for your business.
AI Integration
Already running software? We identify where AI plugs into your existing workflows — quoting, diagnostics, documentation, training — and build the connection without disrupting what's working.
RAG Knowledge Systems
Your senior people are retiring. Their knowledge doesn't have to leave with them. We build AI systems that capture institutional knowledge and make it available to every operator, every shift.
Custom AI App Builds
A full product built for your specific operation. Your vertical, your machines, your knowledge. Scoped lean, delivered fast, priced for businesses that aren't Fortune 500.
Local Builds & Memory
We build AI systems around the knowledge, workflows, documentation, and equipment that make your operation unique — keeping useful operational knowledge close to the people who actually use it.
Built by People Who Understand
Your Operation.
We don't show up with a slide deck. We show up with questions about your floor.
We Understand Manufacturing
The problems we solve aren't abstract to us. We understand the pressure of a bad part, the cost of downtime, and what operators actually need from a tool before we design a single screen.
We Build and Ship
We scope lean, build focused, and deliver working software — not decks, not prototypes, not promises. CHIP is proof. Your project is next.
We Build for Your Scale
No six-figure enterprise contracts. No year-long implementations. Real AI tools, built for shops and industrial businesses, at prices that make sense for your operation.
