Introducing Tulie: Tulip’s AI Assistant for Always-On Coaching

Early last year, we introduced AI Composer, giving manufacturers a way to generate applications directly from their SOPs. Last fall, Composable AI Agents opened the door to embedding AI into workflows and systems without forcing a fixed structure.

These were big steps forward, but we realized that today’s teams needed something more.

Today, we’re excited to introduce Tulie, our AI Assistant —the most advanced, intelligent, productivity-maximizing assistant ever built for manufacturing.

Tulie provides always-on real-time coaching – providing unsolicited ideas for how to optimize your productivity.

Tulie anticipates your next step and clicks before you do. Build speed goes up. Every now and then, it makes the wrong call. That’s part of how it learns.

Tulie is here to help you get better. Pause too long while building or troubleshooting, and Tulie flags it. Hesitate during a decision, and it nudges you. Any delay must mean waste.

On the shop floor, Tulie extends into Shopfloor AI Assistants, bringing intelligence directly to your operations.

Tulie interprets signals from equipment and translates them into language that operators can emphasize with.

With our AI Assistant, Tulie, we’ve taken the guesswork out of decision-making. We’ve removed variability. We’ve simplified complexity.

We’ve found the one right way to build your apps and run your operations.

We are not serious.

Tulie – while very cute – is an example of a one-size-fits-all, blackbox AI tool that decides how best to do your work.

Our real AI methodology at Tulip is the opposite. Our focus is giving you something you can shape around your operations.

Composability is the foundation for that.

You decide how AI behaves. You set the standard for what “good” looks like in your environment. You implement solutions around your processes, your use cases, your frameworks, your constraints, and your people.

• With AI Composer, you use your existing documentation to accelerate the initial app building process – while using your existing templates and giving you the control to further adjust the apps as needed.
  

• With Composable AI Agents, you define the goals, instructions, and access for each agent. We provide the pre-built agents, but you can adapt them to your specific needs or create completely new ones.
  

• With AI Chat (previously called Copilot), you add pre-trained chats where and when they are needed in your production, whether for machine troubleshooting, reworking defective products, or wherever else they provide value.

The goal is to give you the ability to easily implement AI given the context of your operations, teams, digital maturity, etc. That context varies from one operation to the next. It should.

The role of AI here is to support that variation, not flatten it.

The systems that actually help are the ones you can tune, question, and adjust to work optimally as things continuously change.
