But let&#8217;s be honest: it rarely really fits perfectly. The new shelf is a few centimetres too big, the toolbox is too heavy, the handle of the new tool doesn&#8217;t feel quite right in the hand.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what if, instead of searching and comparing, we could simply formulate directly <strong>what exactly we need<\/strong> &#8211; and create a customized product from this? This is exactly where the concept of <strong>prompting <\/strong>comes in. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pixel-headline headlines --subheadline-bottom has-text-align-left\"><h2 class=\"headline\" style=\"color:\">From predefined to individual<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mass production has shaped our everyday lives. Products are designed to work &#8220;well enough&#8221; for as many people as possible. But &#8220;good enough&#8221; often means compromises.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you&#8217;re looking for a screwdriver that can get into hard-to-reach places and has a handle designed specifically for your hand size, you&#8217;ll probably spend a long time looking &#8211; or end up with a product that only covers 70% of your needs.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With prompting, you turn the tables: you describe your problem or requirement without adapting to prefabricated categories or product logic.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pixel-headline headlines --subheadline-bottom has-text-align-left\"><h2 class=\"headline\" style=\"color:\">From prompt to solution<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s take the example: &#8220;I need a screwdriver attachment that can be angled by 90\u00b0, is suitable for very narrow cabinets and can still be operated with one hand.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a platform like Kabkin, engineers analyze this prompt, use a database with thousands of functional components (e.g. joints, slides, locking mechanisms) and develop a real solution from it &#8211; not a marketing promise, not a series product, but an individual, immediately usable tool.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A CAD model or construction plan that can be produced directly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A solution that makes no compromises.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optionally even a finished product that can be ordered directly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pixel-headline headlines --subheadline-bottom has-text-align-left\"><h2 class=\"headline\" style=\"color:\">Advantages over the classic purchase<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Perfect fit:<\/strong> no adjustments necessary, no temporary solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>More ergonomics:<\/strong> tools and devices can be adapted to individual body sizes, grip strengths or movement sequences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fast prototyping cycle:<\/strong> instead of testing several products, a customized solution is created immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sustainability:<\/strong> Instead of buying lots of standard products and throwing them away at some point, you invest once in a solution that lasts longer and is better used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pixel-headline headlines --subheadline-bottom has-text-align-left\"><h2 class=\"headline\" style=\"color:\">Areas of application<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Do-it-yourselfers &amp; DIY fans: <\/strong>Tools that are precisely tailored to the way you work and handle them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Startups:<\/strong> Development tools and devices for special prototypes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Industry &amp; manufacturing:<\/strong> Specialized assembly aids, ergonomic handles or holding devices that increase productivity and improve safety at the same time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Care &amp; everyday life:<\/strong> Aids that precisely meet the needs of individual people (e.g. handles for senior citizens or people with limited mobility).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pixel-headline headlines --subheadline-bottom has-text-align-left\"><h2 class=\"headline\" style=\"color:\">Away from dependency<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are used to trusting the big brands and manufacturers because they develop &#8220;the solution&#8221; for us. But this also means that we are dependent on their view of our problems. Prompting breaks this dependency. Instead of waiting for someone to offer a suitable product at some point, we can now formulate what we want ourselves &#8211; and have it developed directly.   <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pixel-headline headlines --subheadline-bottom has-text-align-left\"><h2 class=\"headline\" style=\"color:\">Why now?<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timing has never been more favorable:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Technological maturity:<\/strong> 3D printing, rapid prototyping and modular mechanics approaches are more mature than ever before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Access to engineering:<\/strong> Platforms make engineering knowledge accessible without having to be a professional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Growing dissatisfaction with standard solutions:<\/strong> More and more people want things that really suit them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pixel-headline headlines --subheadline-bottom has-text-align-left\"><h2 class=\"headline\" style=\"color:\">Trust through engineering, not just algorithms<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is important is that, unlike many pure AI solutions, the Prompt-to-Product principle is not just based on automated algorithms. It is an interplay of human engineering skills, a kinematic database, digital tools and personal requirements. This creates trust &#8211; because people with expertise work on the solution.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You no longer buy the next tool you need from a DIY store shelf. You describe it &#8211; and it is developed for you. Tailor-made, functional and ready to solve your problem exactly.<br\/>We are currently experiencing the beginning of an era in which products are no longer created for the masses, but for individuals. Your next tool won&#8217;t be bought. It will be <strong>prompted<\/strong>.    <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Up to now, our consumption has followed a clear pattern: we have a problem or a need, search online for a solution, compare products, read reviews &#8211; and finally buy what &#8220;fits best&#8221;.
