Authentise has introduced a new AI platform designed to capture, understand and act on engineering intent across the idea-to-part lifecycle.
Whispers is described by the company as an 'agentic backbone' that connects fragmented engineering knowledge and turns it into 'governed, real-time action' inside existing enterprise systems.
With this platform, Authentise is seeking to place the 'most valuable knowledge' that often gets lost in emails, meetings, and chat threads into systems. The software, Authentise suggests, will deliver long-term value by capturing intent, while also providing immediate gains in compliance, coordination, and execution.
Now, as engineering activity happens across email, meetings, and enterprise systems, Whispers captures and structures the data, applies context and permissions, and acts on it directly with existing workflows. The platform is said to help detect risks earlier, enable real-time compliance checks, automate updates across ERP, PLM and QMS systems, and provide full audit trails tied to parts and projects.
Example use cases of Whispers include automated compliance monitoring against internal and external standards, live project health detection and alerts, real-time generation of technical documentation, and detecting IP leakage or duplication through digital fingerprinting.
“Engineering intent is the missing layer in digital transformation,” said Andre Wegner, CEO of Authentise. “We’ve spent 14 years helping companies digitise workflows. Whisper is the next step. It doesn’t ask engineers to change how they work. It listens, understands, and acts.”
Authentise has developed the Whispers product in line with industry demands and partner feedback.
“As part of the steering committee, we pushed hard on one thing: this had to work in the real world, not just in theory,” said Rob Weighill, Group Systems Architect at Prototal Group. “In a high-throughput environment, the challenge is keeping projects moving across teams. Seeing Whisper come together has been genuinely exciting because it doesn’t just surface insights, it takes action directly in the tools our teams already use.”
Whisper is being released as source-available, allowing customers to extend and deploy it within their own environments. Authentise says that initial access will require a low upfront commitment, with full costs only incurred once value is proven.
This week, Authentise picked up the TCT Software Award for its Rapid Reverse Engineering & Qualification for AM Description tool, developed with the support of GKN Aerospace and Boeing.
