CNH has taken a major leap forward in dealer support by introducing its new AI Tech Assistant—a chatbot that consolidates the entire CNH technical information library into a single, user-friendly interface. Designed to rapidly deliver technical guidance, the tool integrates over 1.5 million pages of documentation to help dealers troubleshoot and resolve equipment issues faster than ever before.
A Data-Driven Solution for Fast Diagnostics
CNH’s innovative AI tool addresses a longstanding challenge in the agricultural equipment industry: accessing critical technical information quickly. Previously, dealers and service technicians would have to sift through multiple manuals, service bulletins, and technical guides to find the correct solution for a problem. Now, by leveraging natural language processing, the AI Tech Assistant simulates a human conversation, offering instant, accurate responses based on a comprehensive technical database.
“The problem was that our dealers had all this information, but they needed to be able to find it quickly,” explains Danielle Waterworth, CNH’s Vice President of Global Ag Service and Maintenance Development. “By using AI technology, we can swiftly cut through vast amounts of material to deliver the exact answer a technician needs.”
Brad Meyer, Director of Service Operations at Titan Machinery, underscores the tool’s impact: “The biggest value is that now you don’t have to know where to find the information. Whether it’s in a service manual, operator’s guide, or service bulletin—it’s all in one place. This not only streamlines our workflow but also significantly improves our response time for customer issues.”
Key Features and Benefits
- Comprehensive Data Integration: The AI Tech Assistant has ingested the entirety of CNH’s technical documentation—spanning over 1.5 million pages—into one centralized system.
- Natural Language Processing: Technicians can simply type in a query or input a machine’s serial number to receive immediate, concise diagnostic guidance.
- Multilingual Support: Available in more than 21 languages, the tool ensures that dealers worldwide can access accurate technical information without language barriers.
- Legacy Equipment Assistance: Particularly useful for servicing older machines, the chatbot helps technicians quickly locate repair procedures even for equipment that is 20 years old or more.
Since its pilot launch in 2023 at select Titan Machinery locations, the AI tool has fielded over 40,000 queries, with an estimated 80% accuracy rate in diagnosing issues and recommending repair steps. This rapid response capability not only minimizes equipment downtime but also enhances customer satisfaction across CNH’s extensive dealer network.
Global Deployment and Future Expansion
Currently deployed across more than 300 authorized agriculture and construction dealer groups in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, CNH plans to extend the tool’s reach globally. “Our objective is to empower every dealer with immediate access to critical technical information,” says Waterworth. “By enabling our technicians—from the most experienced to those just starting out—to quickly resolve issues, we are setting a new standard for service excellence.”
CNH’s commitment to innovation is evident as it continues to refine the AI Tech Assistant. Feedback from early users is being used to improve the tool’s performance, ensuring that its accuracy and user interface evolve in step with the needs of an increasingly digital industry.
A Game Changer in Agricultural Service
By transforming how technical support is delivered, CNH’s AI Tech Assistant is poised to redefine dealer service operations. Its ability to quickly deliver accurate information from a massive library of resources not only boosts technician efficiency but also translates to more reliable and faster repair processes in the field.
As the agriculture industry continues to embrace digital transformation, CNH’s latest innovation underscores the growing importance of AI-driven tools in enhancing operational efficiency and customer service. With plans for further expansion and continuous improvement, this new tool is set to become an indispensable asset for dealers worldwide.
