KISSsoft calculations, prepared and run by AI. Approved by you.
Describe the calculation in plain language. GearLab AI Assist turns it into structured inputs for you to approve, runs the sequence in KISSsoft through its COM interface and assembles the results into a report for your review. KISSsoft does the numbers; you make the decisions.
Rate the first stage to ISO 6336 for our three load cases and compare it with last week’s reference run.
| Normal module mn | 2.00 mm |

Report draft with SH and SF per load case and deviations from the reference, ready for your review.
Clear roles at every step.
The assistant takes on the repetitive preparation and coordination. KISSsoft stays the calculation engine. You approve what goes in and review what comes out.
| Step | You | GearLab AI Assist | KISSsoft |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1Describe | State the objective, the operating conditions and the standard to apply. | Asks for anything missing and lists every assumption it makes. | No action |
| 2Approve inputs | Check units, parameters and assumptions, then approve the input set. | Builds the structured input set from your agreed KISSsoft template. | No action |
| 3Calculate | Nothing to re-type. | Runs the calculation sequence through the COM interface, case by case. | Computes every result, with your licence and your settings. |
| 4Review | Review the report and decide the next engineering step. | Collects the outputs, compares them with your reference calculation and drafts the report. | No action |
Good first pilots
- A rating you repeat for every new project or design variant.
- A parameter study across module, helix angle or face width.
- A report you currently assemble by hand from KISSsoft output.
Start with a 30-day guided pilot.
One workflow, your template, your reference calculation. After 30 days you know how much setup it takes, how repeatable it is and whether the reports are ready for engineering review.
20-minute call
We look at your current process together and pick one workflow worth piloting. Bring a non-confidential example.
30-day guided pilot
We set up the agreed workflow with your KISSsoft template and check it against your reference calculation.
Decide
If it earns its place, continue on a subscription. If not, you stop there. Nothing renews automatically.
Guided pilot, 30 days
€590one-time, excl. tax
- Up to 3 named users
- One agreed workflow with your KISSsoft template
- Comparison with your reference calculation
- 90 minutes of support: onboarding, midpoint check-in and final review
After the pilot
| Plan | Users | Monthly | Yearly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Professional | 1 | €149 | €1,490 |
| Team | 3 | €399 | €3,990 |
Prices exclude applicable taxes and are confirmed in a written offer. The pilot fee is separate from any subscription. Customer-specific integration and additional support are quoted separately. KISSsoft licence and interface requirements are checked before the pilot starts.
Built by an engineer who verifies calculation models for a living.
Dr. Davide Marano is a mechanical engineer with a PhD in advanced mechanics. He designs gears and e-axles and specialises in the verification and validation of computational models: the discipline behind trusting a calculation before you act on it.
His handbook, Cylindrical Gear Design, follows a gearbox from the first tooth count to ISO 6336 rating and loaded tooth contact analysis in KISSsoft. GearLab AI Assist applies the same discipline to the everyday calculation workflow.

Questions engineers ask first
Is GearLab AI Assist available today?
It is in early access. We work with a small number of teams through guided pilots, and the first call establishes which functions are ready for your workflow.
Does the AI calculate the gears?
No. KISSsoft remains the calculation engine and computes every result. The assistant prepares inputs, coordinates the calculation sequence and assembles reports. Engineers approve the inputs and review the results.
What needs to be installed?
A KISSsoft installation with access to its COM interface. Version compatibility, licence requirements and the execution setup are checked before a pilot is agreed.
Is this an official KISSsoft product?
No. GearLab AI Assist is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by KISSsoft AG. KISSsoft is named only to identify the calculation environment it works with.
What happens to our engineering data?
Data handling, the AI model provider, storage and access are agreed and documented before a pilot starts. For the first call, please use a non-confidential example.
Does the pilot turn into a subscription?
No. The pilot is a separate engagement. At the end we review the results together, and any subscription needs a separate agreement.
Which calculation do you repeat most?
Describe it in a few lines, without confidential data. Davide reads every request and replies personally to arrange a 20-minute call.
