Think voice-first interfaces and knowledge retrieval, not just desktop tools.

Frontline workers move around and might not have time to sit at a laptop, but they could have a quick second to speak or type a question. You could support them with an AI interface that answers questions in their language, translates into technical knowledge, and searches knowledge databases. The key is making sure answers are right.
