What slows down quotes and inquiries in toolmaking
The bottleneck is rarely the milling machine. It is your design engineers' time. Four patterns that hold back sales and engineering in tool, die and mold making:
Project knowledge is buried in old tool files
Hundreds of tools built, each with design decisions, problems and fixes. When a similar inquiry comes in, that knowledge should be at hand. In practice, only the engineer who ran the project knows where the file is and what it really says.
No quote goes out without an engineer
Assessing feasibility, finding comparable tools, estimating effort: every inquiry lands on engineering's desk. But engineering is busy building tools. Inquiries pile up, quotes slow down, and the faster competitor wins the job.
Nobody is sure which revision is current
Revisions, changes after tool trials, repairs on running tools: the built state and the documented state drift apart. Pull the wrong revision for a spare part or repair inquiry and you pay for it twice.
Follow-up business waits for the customer to call
Spare parts, refurbishments, the successor tool: the potential in your delivered tools is real, but nobody has time to work it systematically. So follow-up business only happens when a customer picks up the phone.
What demi takes over in tool, die and mold making
demiAsk · Technical sales
Answer inquiries with your tooling history
A new inquiry comes in, and demiAsk compares it with what you have already built: similar tools, past design decisions, known pitfalls. Every answer cites its sources, so sales can give a first assessment before pulling in a design engineer.
demiBrain · Engineering
Preserve tooling knowledge before it retires
demiBrain builds a digital knowledge twin from the documents you already have: projects, specifications, costing approaches, documented change states. What lives only in your best engineer's head today stays with the company and stays findable.
demiLeads · Sales
Start follow-up business instead of waiting for it
demiLeads delivers ready-to-contact lead briefings: companies whose part spectrum matches the tools you have built, with the right contact and the reason the account fits. Your reference list becomes a plan for new and follow-up orders.
demiContent · Marketing
References that technical buyers take seriously
demiContent creates content from your real specifications: reference sheets on tooling projects, technical articles, LinkedIn posts, in multiple languages. No design engineer has to sit down and write copy.
Common questions from tool, die and mold makers
Every tool we build is a one-off. What can AI realistically contribute?
demi does not work with generic internet knowledge. It works with your documents: tool project files, specifications, cost estimates, project documentation. Precisely because every tool is a one-off, fast access to comparable past projects is what counts. Every answer cites its sources, so you always see what it is based on. Nobody can seriously guarantee zero errors, but every statement can be checked in seconds.
Where is our data hosted, and what happens to our drawings and cost estimates?
Production databases are hosted in data centers in the EU, the EEA or Switzerland, including OVHcloud. AI inference runs on leading AI models in EU regions. There is no training on identifiable customer data without explicit opt-in. The data processing agreement (DPA) is automatically part of the contract.
How quickly will we be productive?
Setup takes about a day. The standard order form: a 12-month term with a 6-month pilot phase and a one-time exit option (30 days). These are reference values from real starts, not guaranteed timelines.
What demi saves you per month
No per-seat price, no plan comparison: this calculator shows which working hours demi frees up in your processes and what those hours are worth at your hourly rate. Every assumption is visible and directly adjustable.

Your tooling knowledge belongs in sales, not in the archive
Bring a typical inquiry and one completed tooling project. In the demo you will see, on your own documents, what demi makes of them.
