Kuken Industries speeds drawing searches with AI
OpenAI: Kuken Industries searches 70 years of drawings in minutes
Kuken Industries uses the OpenAI API to search 70 years of cooling tower drawings. Engineers can find the drawing for a repair in 4.5 minutes, down from nearly an hour.
Get smart on it
A manufacturing company that makes air conditioning and ventilation equipment built a search tool using OpenAI's API to help engineers find technical drawings from a 70-year archive. Previously, locating the correct drawing could take nearly an hour, but the new tool reduces this to 4.5 minutes by allowing engineers to search using part numbers, screenshots, or PDF uploads. The system is expected to cut drawing search time by about 90% annually, freeing experienced engineers to mentor newer staff while enabling less experienced engineers to work more independently and spend time on design improvements rather than administrative searches.

Apple is racing to make Siri more agentic
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says CEO John Ternus is pressuring AI czar Craig Federighi to accelerate the Siri roadmap and deliver a powerful AI agent that can compete with OpenAI's Dots or Meta's Muse. While Federighi has delivered a functional version of Siri AI on an incredibly short timeline, the company has no illusions that it's keeping pace with its rivals. Two significant improvements are expected to be made to Siri in the coming months. One will give the assistant fine-grai
