AI Assistant
for 8D Reports
8D Reports: Faster. Clearer. More Intelligent.
Quality engineers lose valuable time every day in documentation and research—instead of eliminating real causes in the long term The doubleSlash AI Assistant supports your team from D1 to D8, structures content, recognizes gaps and suggests suitable formulations.
Significantly faster creation of 8D reports
Noticeable relief for your team
Higher quality and completeness of content
Fewer queries, fewer escalations
So that your team once again solves causes—instead of generating reports.
Why Complaints Processing Costs Time & Resources Today
Complaint processes in the automotive and mechanical engineering industries are complex, cross-system and strongly SLA-driven. Quality engineers work along fragmented supply chains, while valuable capacities are tied up in operational coordination—instead of being available for root cause analysis and sustainable measures.
System Fragmentation
Complaints are processed via several customer portals with different requirements and deadlines.Media Disruptions
Data is manually transferred between systems, structured and documented.SLA Risk
Time pressure increases the risk of deadline violations and contractual penalties.
Lack of Data Utilization
Historical cases are not systematically evaluated—Repeat errors remain unrecognized.Loss of Knowledge
Implicit empirical knowledge in silos and minds is lost when personnel change—if it is not systematically documented and made usable.
What Is an AI Assistant for 8D Reports?
The doubleSlash AI assistant for 8D reports supports quality engineers throughout the entire life cycle of 8D reports—from the structured recording of incoming complaints to root cause analysis and action planning.
Decision assistance with human-in-the-loop:
The AI suggests, Quality experts decide. Not a replacement for existing QMS/CAQ systems, but an intelligent addition.

Let's Accelerate Your 8D Process Together
Online Demo
- Duration: approx. 30–45 minutes
- Content: You will experience live how the AI Assistant logs a complaint, finds similar past cases, and pre-populates the 8D report. You can try out typical scenarios yourself and ask your own questions.
- Discussion: We will review your QMS/CAQ landscape and, together with our experts, identify where the AI Assistant can create the greatest impact in your 8D process.
Use‑Case‑Workshop
- Duration: 90–120 min
- Agenda: Joint exploration of your 8D process, identification of automation potentials, architecture check with your QMS/CAQ landscape.
- What you need: Overview of current QMS/CAQ systems, sample 8D reports, contacts from quality management and IT.
- What you get: Assessment of automation potential, a high-level integration path, next steps for a proof of concept.
