Superkind for engineering firms

In an engineering firm every project needs constant documentation: recording calculations, managing drawings, writing reports, meeting deadlines. You hand this work to Superkinds. You describe it once in Slack, Teams or by email, they do it in your tools, and nothing goes out before you approve it.

Frequently asked questions

Does Superkind send reports without me?

Only if you want it to. You decide what a Superkind may do on its own and what needs your approval. It shows you reports and assessments first, in Slack, Teams or by email.

Which tools do I need?

Do the Superkinds know about each other?

Yes. What one Superkind learns goes into your company knowledge, and every Superkind uses it. So the Report Writer knows the Calculation Clerk’s numbers.
