TYF · Text Your Factory
Text your factory.
Ask your factory. It answers.
Your plant already answers to a dashboard. TYF lets it answer in a sentence instead — the same numbers, asked the way you would ask a colleague, with the chart attached when the chart is the answer.
PilotTYF is in pilot with select clients. The conversation above is illustrative.
- Plain English in, plain English out — never a terminal.
- Read-only, like every sensor we install. It answers; it never commands.
- In pilot with select clients. There is no public sandbox, and there won’t be one.
What was the water use in my facility last week, day by day?
Weekdays run about 40 m³. Saturday and Sunday still came in at 22 and 19 m³ with the plant down — that’s baseline flow, not production.
Is my compressor running well?
Header pressure is holding. Run hours are climbing week over week at the same production volume — that pattern is usually leaks in the distribution, not the compressor itself. Want me to flag it for the maintenance review?

From the pilot
What people actually ask it.
Five questions, typed exactly like this. None of them is a query, a filter or a menu path.
- What was the water use in my facility last week, day by day?
- Is my compressor running well?
- Are there any data issues?
- Do a water balance.
- What has my air compressor done in the last few weeks?
The answer comes back the same way: a sentence a shift supervisor can act on, and a chart when the chart is the evidence.
Quoted from the pilot (§C.9). They are printed as sent, including the ones that read like an instruction rather than a question — that is the point.
No overclaiming
What it does today, and what is coming.
One of these is shipping in the pilot. The other four are the roadmap, and they are labelled as the roadmap.
- Now / near-term
Per-user conversational access to your organization’s data
Ask in plain English, in the pilot, against your own live readings. Every user sees only what their account can already see in the dashboard.
- Coming
Reports
Ask for the monthly summary and get it written, not exported.
- Coming
New-user setup
Onboarding a supervisor by conversation instead of by ticket.
- Coming
Explanations
Not just what moved, but why it moved, with the evidence attached.
- Coming
Active follow-up
It notices the thing changed back, and tells you without being asked.
DESIGN-SPEC §6.1 governs this page: nothing is described as shipped until it ships. If you are evaluating TYF for your plant, evaluate the first row.
How it works
It reads the same screen your team reads.
TYF is not a second system. It is a way of asking the one you already have.
- 01
The sensors are already there
The same permanent wireless sensors, existing meters and PLC tags that feed your dashboard. Nothing new goes on the wall for TYF.
- 02
It reads the dashboard, not the plant
TYF queries the same platform your team logs into. It has no path to your control layer, and no ability to write a command back to any piece of equipment.
- 03
You ask like a person
No query language, no dashboard hunting, no training deck. If you can ask the question out loud, you can text it.
The chart underneath the answer
Every reply is drawn from the same trace the dashboard plots — the same 30-minute buckets, the same baseline, the same flagged event. When TYF says something moved, you can open the chart and see it move.
Read-only is not a setting. Our sensors and the platform above them observe; they are physically and logically separated from your control layer, and the agent inherits that boundary rather than working around it (§H.4 — hardware and platform specs are [TOM-REVIEW], §K.2 #11).
