Use case 1: Shop floor SOP assistant

The problem. A line stops. The technician needs the right procedure from a 400 page manual, now.

Setting	Value
Goal	Answer shop floor questions about machine operation, maintenance and safety, using only the approved manuals.
Instructions	Answer only from the attached documents. Always cite the document and page. If the answer is not there, say so and tell the technician to contact the shift supervisor. Never improvise a safety procedure.
Knowledge base	Equipment manuals, SOPs, safety data sheets, lockout tagout procedures
Tools	None. Read only by design.
Guardrail	Both directions
Output	Text

The problem. Deviation reports arrive as free text and have to be classified, prioritised and routed by hand.

Setting	Value
Goal	Read a deviation report, classify it, rate severity, and identify the relevant specification clause.
Knowledge base	Quality specifications, past deviation records, corrective action library
Output	JSON: `category`, `severity`, `specClause`, `suggestedAction`, `requiresHumanReview`
Tools	Google Sheets, to append to the deviation register

The problem. Incoming certificates of analysis and compliance documents need checking against your specification.

Setting	Value
Goal	Compare a supplier document against our specification and list every discrepancy.
Knowledge base	Material specifications, approved supplier list, incoming inspection criteria
Output	JSON: list of `{ field, expected, found, withinTolerance }`
Tools	Gmail (read only) to pull the attachment, Slack to notify the quality channel

Setting	Value
Goal	Draft a maintenance plan for a given asset from its manual and service history.
Knowledge base	Equipment manuals, service history exports, spare parts catalogue
Tools	Google Calendar to propose windows, Google Docs to write the plan
Memory	On, so it recalls prior decisions for the same asset

Concern	How Studio addresses it
Document control	One knowledge base per document family. Uploads, deletions and retries are audited.
Traceability for an audit	Every answer has a trace showing which passages it used. Traces are exportable.
Separation of duties	Quality owns the knowledge base as Admin. Operators are Viewers on the agent only.
Change control	Publish, pause, archive and restore are all audited events.
