OneVision Software has developed AI Queries—a solution combining prepress automation, intelligent job management, and AI file analysis and matching. The new interface brings artificial intelligence (AI) directly into production workflows. As artificial intelligence and computer vision continue to advance, it becomes increasingly important for automation software to incorporate these tools to simplify everyday work and increase the level of automation. Receiving customer files is one of the most critical stages of the production workflow. Files are named incorrectly, and multiple variants, formats, cuts and substrates must be managed for the same quote. The orders often contain unstructured text, such as comments, which need to be interpreted.
Clarifying this with the customer is time-consuming and requires significant manual work, such as opening and inspecting files individually. This process risks costly errors, and the chaos of incoming files ultimately creates a bottleneck that wastes time and energy and undermines reliability. AI Queries provides a generic approach to utilising platforms such as OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Mistral. It requires a subscription to the chosen AI provider’s account and an API key. The module sends prompt requests, including files and information from the workflow, to the AI model and processes its responses.
