Kabaido 1.1 Anthracite

11 November 2026. The cutting tools edition of Anthracite. Kabaido is one platform made of Design Engineer, Stock, Source, Wizard and Commerce, set up with each customer for the cutting tools they make and sell.

What you can do now

• Design a special in the design module for your product focus: solid round tools, shank and bore PCD tools, indexable tooling, machine knives, superabrasives, toolholding, circular saw blades and bandsaw blades. Each one sets the tool out from its values, checks it as you type and prices it line by line.
• Read what each design module makes, checks, prices and produces on its own page under Design Engineer. The rates a design module ships with are examples until your workspace sets its own.
• Ask a wizard for a recommendation: bandsaw blade, PCD saw blade, circular saw blade, machine knife, machining tool and grinding wheel. A workspace is offered the wizards of its product focuses. Every wizard but the bandsaw blade one can open its answer in a design module with the values already set.
• Work through your own Claude. Add the Kabaido connector at one address, sign in as yourself and approve it. Claude can then design and quote in any design module your workspace has, and look things up in the parts it has, within what your role allows. See Claude.
• See how an implementation runs and estimate what it costs on the Implementation page of the website.
• Find everything from one header: the area menu, search and your account.

Stated plainly

• Kabaido calculates every figure. Claude states no dimension, price, stock figure or lead time that did not come from a Kabaido result or from the request.
• A STEP file comes from the solid round and PCD design modules. A customer drawing comes from solid round tools and PCD shank tools. The design modules new in this release produce a DXF, a cutting list, a specification sheet and a 3D model, and no STEP file or customer drawing yet.
• Stock, Source, Wizard and Commerce are read through Claude, not changed: stock, suppliers and their prices, purchase orders, store orders and enquiries. Changes to them are made in the app.

Closed and retired

• Sign up is closed. Kabaido sets each workspace up with the customer and people join by invitation. The old sign up address opens Book a walkthrough.
• Plans, usage and the AI inside the app are gone. The app runs no AI model: AI is your own Claude with the connector, which takes a person's sign in and no API key.
• Sales Engineer, Route, Service Centre, Machinist and Inspect are no longer offered, with the design modules outside cutting tools and the coating wizard.
• Every address of a retired page sends you to the nearest page that remains, in one step.
