Tungaloy has launched Gabby, an AI-powered assistant that helps manufacturers identify suitable cutting tools using natural language. Available through the company’s website and mobile app, the new digital assistant is designed to simplify tool selection and reduce the time spent searching for technical information.
Selecting the right cutting tool typically requires manufacturers to consider multiple factors, including workpiece material, machining operation, cutting conditions and tool geometry. Gabby streamlines this process by allowing users to describe their requirements in everyday language rather than navigating extensive catalogues or complex product structures.
Users simply enter details such as the machining operation, material or basic cutting conditions, and Gabby interprets the request before recommending suitable tooling solutions. The assistant supports a broad range of applications, including milling, hole making, external and internal turning, and grooving.
The conversational interface also enables users to refine their searches through follow-up questions, compare alternative tooling options and access relevant catalogue information within a single discussion. Tungaloy says this approach provides a faster and more intuitive way to locate suitable products while making technical knowledge more accessible.
The launch of Gabby forms part of Tungaloy’s continuing investment in digital technologies that improve productivity and simplify everyday manufacturing tasks. By combining AI with the company’s technical expertise, the assistant is intended to support faster decision-making and help users identify appropriate machining solutions more efficiently.
Tungaloy says Gabby will continue to evolve as additional machining knowledge and application data are incorporated, further expanding its capabilities over time.
While the AI assistant provides practical guidance based on available technical information, the company advises that final tool selection and machining parameters should always be verified to ensure they meet the specific requirements of each machining application.
