AI Agents for Industrial Sales and Application Engineers: Fay Goldstein - Co-Founder and CEO, Folio

Industrial teams still rely on fragmented and manual processes to match complex product specs with use-case-specific needs.Take this example:You're selling a vision sensor to a factory. To get it right, you need to know:⇨ What’s the size and speed of the conveyor line?⇨ Is the plant located in Munich or Arizona?⇨ Will this sensor withstand that temperature range?⇨ What PLC is the customer using — Siemens or Rockwell?⇨ Will the sensor integrate without conflict?⇨ Are there newer models in the portfolio that fit better?⇨ Can it be installed without disrupting production?Now imagine trying to answer all of that...⇨ Using PDFs.⇨Email chains.⇨ Gut instinct.⇨ And hoping Bob from Engineering isn’t on vacation.With an AI Agents trained on your connected industrial knowledge:✅ All technical documentation, manuals, spec sheets, CAD drawings, becomes queryable✅ Reps and engineers can ask natural-language questions and get verified answers✅ Compliance, compatibility, and environmental fit can be checked in seconds✅ Human experts stay in the loop, but no longer stuck in the weedsI recently sat down with Fay Goldstein Co-Founder and CEO of Folio to discuss the application of AI Agents for Industrial Sales and Application Engineers.
