Your AI. An estimate you can explain.
Emura fits into your organization’s AI strategy by giving your people and AI tools a shared, structured cost model. You choose the AI. Emura provides the estimating framework, explicit inputs, and consistent calculations.
Deterministic by design
Emura is not “AI quoting.” Its estimating engine uses no AI. Costs are calculated from explicit inputs using defined formulas. The same inputs produce the same results.
That matters when someone asks why a part costs what it does. You can examine material quantities, supplier prices, labor rates, cycle times, setup assumptions, and allocations to understand how they contribute to the estimate.
Our focus is manufacturing cost modeling. We are not trying to build “AI quoting.” Emura is a cost model that both humans and AI agents can use to develop cost estimates and quotes.
Give AI structured cost data
AI is powerful, but giving it appropriate access to structured data is a challenge for many organizations. Emura structures your cost data so your AI can work with it more effectively.
Emura organizes the inputs behind an estimate: finished goods, volume breaks, materials, purchasing assumptions, equipment, operations, and more. Those inputs have defined meanings and relationships.
You can export a quote as JSON, a structured file format your own AI tools can read. Upload that export to your own AI interface, agent, or internal workflow. You can also use a browser-capable agent to work directly in Emura through the web interface.
Use AI to help build the estimate
A useful task for AI is helping you populate and review a consistent cost model.
Ask it to organize source information, suggest inputs, identify missing assumptions, or challenge an estimate. For example, an AI assistant could help turn a process description into proposed operations, with explicit cycle times, staffing, and setup requirements for your team to review.
Emura then calculates the effects of those inputs across your finished goods and volume breaks.
You wouldn’t accept a human estimator who couldn’t show their work. Don’t trust an AI quoting system that doesn’t use a transparent cost model either.
Give your AI the documentation, too
Our public user guide explains the cost model’s fields, their effects, and calculation formulas.
Point your AI tool to the guide for context on how to use and interpret our cost model.
