Authentise, a software developer specializing in digital manufacturing workflows, launched its Whisper platform on April 15, 2026. Led by CEO Andre Wegner, the platform utilizes agentic AI to monitor communication channels including Slack, email, and meeting transcripts to capture engineering rationale. Whisper functions as a background listener that structures unstructured decision-making data and automatically pushes it into existing ERP, PLM, and QMS systems to create comprehensive audit trails.

The release addresses a critical documentation gap in industrial additive manufacturing where CAD models and machine process parameters fail to record the human engineering intent behind mid-build adjustments. For highly regulated sectors such as aerospace, medical, and energy, this capability is vital for moving from part-level qualification to system-level certification. As procurement specifications increasingly demand process qualification, the ability to trace why a technician adjusted a parameter during a Ti-6Al-4V or PEEK build becomes a requirement for compliance rather than an optional record.

Authentise is positioning Whisper as a source-available tool that integrates with existing enterprise stacks rather than requiring new user interfaces. For manufacturers in high-stakes verticals, the immediate utility lies in reducing the manual administrative burden of maintaining traceability during complex production runs. Success for this deployment will depend on how seamlessly the AI agents handle technical nuance in multi-channel communications without introducing data noise into the QMS.
