Article goal: After reading this article, you will know what Quinn is, what it is used for, and how that relates to working in the interface.

Relevant for the Editor and Administrator roles. Quinn is currently in beta.

What is Quinn?

Quinn is the findIQ AI assistant and is operated through a chat: you describe what should happen, and Quinn carries out the corresponding actions in findIQ. It reads, creates, and edits the same objects you would work on in the interface — templates, symptoms, causes, routines, labels. Quinn is an additional way to operate findIQ, not a replacement for the interface.

What Quinn is used for

The focus is on getting knowledge into the findIQ data model: out of documents such as operating manuals, troubleshooting tables, and spreadsheets, and out of the experience of experts, recorded in the chat. On top of that comes working with what is already in findIQ — structuring existing symptoms and causes, and querying the data.

The individual use cases, with the input each one needs and the result it produces, are described in Working with Quinn.

How Quinn works

  • Permissions: Quinn can never do more than the signed-in person — and for safety it can do less in some places.

  • Reading and writing: Quinn can read, create, and change data. Deleting templates and machines is blocked — even if the person would be allowed to.

  • Questions instead of guesses: if information is missing, Quinn asks rather than filling in the gap itself.
