The results.

Where your updates land.

Your AI translates your chat into direct changes within Limble CMMS.

NEW

New repair requests

When you describe a broken part, the AI creates a new work order. These appear in your Limble dashboard immediately.

STATUS

Updated task states

Tell your agent a job is finished or delayed. It updates the work order status in Limble for you.

ASSET

Asset field changes

You can modify specific asset details through chat. The AI writes the new data directly to the asset record.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

The AI cannot delete work orders or remove assets. You must handle all deletions and permanent removals yourself in the Limble interface.

The workflow

What your AI does when a request arrives.

The AI uses specific tools to bridge the gap between your chat and your maintenance data.

  1. Find the record

    The AI scans your current maintenance list to find the specific task or asset you mentioned.

    list_tasks

  2. Draft a request

    When you report a new issue, the AI uses the task list to prepare a new entry for your queue.

    list_tasks

  3. Change a status

    If you say a job is done, the AI targets that specific work order to update its state.

    update_asset_field

  4. Edit asset data

    You can change technical details on an asset by telling your agent what the new value should be.

    update_asset_field
