Preparing a CNC pocket in 10 mm acrylic — anything risky?
Your 4 mm depth-per-pass is aggressive for acrylic. I'd drop to ~1.5 mm and add a finishing pass. Safe-Z looks fine. Want me to apply it?

What is Kerfio AI?

Not a chatbot — a machine workspace co-pilot

Kerfio AI knows what machine you are connected to, what job you are preparing, what material you are using, and what your last alarm was. That context makes every answer useful.

The AI Assistant is a helper, not an autopilot. It suggests, explains and guides — you confirm, validate and press run.

Context-aware

Reads machine type, material, operation and job state before answering.

G-code analysis

Explain, validate, optimise and translate G-code files in plain language.

Vision tools

Camera alignment, overlay and future defect detection for real workpieces.

Multilingual

Works in 10+ languages with the same machine-aware accuracy.

AI Assistant

Machine guidance in plain language

Ask anything about your machine, job, G-code, material, alarm, or settings — the assistant reads your workspace context and gives a useful, actionable answer.

Preparing a laser engraving? It explains vector vs. raster, suggests image prep, and helps tune speed and power for your material.

Intelligence in every stage

Kerfio AI adapts to whichever part of the manufacturing workflow you are in — choose a stage to see how it helps.

AI for CNC machining

Confident job prep — feeds, speeds, depths and toolpath risk, explained.

Feed rate & spindle speed guidance
Cut depth, step-over & step-down

Roughing & finishing strategies
AI Vision

What the camera sees, made useful

Vision tools turn the camera from a passive feed into an active machine aid — alignment, overlay, origin picking and future automated inspection.

Get the right file ready for the right job

From cleaning up a photo for engraving to choosing between STL, STEP, SVG and DXF, Kerfio AI helps you move between design and manufacturing without confusion.

Image processing

  • Background cleanup & contrast
  • Grayscale, threshold & dithering
  • Edge detection & logo prep
  • Image-to-vector workflow guidance

File & format help

  • Explain SVG, DXF, STL, STEP & more
  • Recommend the best format per task
  • Detect unsupported / broken files
  • Suggest compatible export settings
Knowledge & memory

An assistant that knows your workshop

A searchable knowledge base plus optional project memory means answers are relevant to Kerfio, your machine and the way you actually work.

Knowledge base

  • Searchable Kerfio docs & tutorials
  • G-code, material & safety guides
  • Troubleshooting & FAQs
  • Team standards for workshops

Memory & project context

  • Remember machines, materials & tools
  • Recall previous project decisions
  • Reuse successful past settings
  • Adapt to your skill level

Memory is used only when you allow it — and syncs across your team through Kerfio Cloud.

AI safety assistant

Helps reduce common mistakes

  • Pre-job safety checklist
  • Material & laser-material warnings
  • Toolpath risk detection
  • Machine movement warnings
  • Fire-risk & ventilation reminders
  • Eye protection & E-stop guidance

The AI never replaces the operator’s responsibility — the final decision always stays with you.

Automation & reports

For shops that repeat similar jobs

  • Workflow templates & checklists
  • Reusable project settings
  • Batch-prepare similar jobs
  • Recommend operation order
  • Auto-organise project files
  • Job reports & production notes

After a job, generate a summary with machine, material, settings, time and recommendations for next time.

Local, cloud & hybrid

AI on your terms

Choose where intelligence runs — privacy-first local, faster cloud, or a hybrid of both — with user- and organization-controlled data sharing.

Local AI

Privacy-first and offline-capable processing on your own machine.

Cloud AI

Stronger models and faster processing through Kerfio Cloud.

Hybrid AI

Local processing combined with cloud intelligence, under your control.
