The assistant is a read-only helper that sits on top of the screen you already have open and answers questions about your own data — what is in stock, what a supplier has quoted before, which approvals are waiting, what an order says. It reads; it never writes. It can only see what your own role and your own company access already allow you to see, and it runs on a model hosted on our own hardware rather than being sent to an outside AI service.
The IndustryMax Purchase orders screen with the read-only assistant docked on the right. Asked which purchase orders are overdue, it answers that 7 are past their delivery date and 3 are more than 10 days late, listing PO-2026-00788 (Vendor C, 14 days), PO-2026-00791 (Vendor A, 12 days) and PO-2026-00802 (Vendor B, 11 days); the same three rows are highlighted in the list.

It has twelve read-only lookups it can use, and it uses at most two rounds of them before answering. Between them they cover:
It also knows which screen you are on, so "why is this line red" is a question it can take literally rather than asking you to describe where you are.
Data that comes back from a lookup is treated as data, not as instructions. An item named to look like a command is still an item name.
It answers in English and in Hinglish — Hindi or Marathi written in Roman letters — because that is how a lot of shop-floor and purchase conversation is actually typed. Questions written in Devanagari and other Indian scripts are routed to a different model that handles them coherently, but usually replies in English. That limitation is known and stated rather than hidden.
The assistant is the visible one. Several smaller helpers sit inside forms:
It answers questions about your own ERP data from the screen you are on — stock, items, suppliers, purchase orders, outstanding deliveries, pending approvals and outstanding bills. It is read-only.
No. Every lookup it has is a read. There is no tool that creates, edits, approves or sends anything, by design. If that ever changes it will need its own permission and a human confirmation step.
Yes. Each lookup requires what the equivalent screen requires, and your customer account and company access come from your signed-in session rather than from anything the model chooses. It must never answer what you could not have found by opening the page yourself.
No. It runs on a self-hosted model server rather than a third-party AI service.
Yes. It is a licensed feature and can be switched off for a customer entirely, independently of the rest of the product.
A demo runs on real screens with real documents, not slides. Bring one of your own purchase orders and we will walk it through.
