How to find a torque spec in 10 seconds

The problem every mechanic knows

You're in the middle of an assembly, hands covered in grease, and you need the torque spec for a Shimano XT bottom bracket axle. You know the info is somewhere in a 200-page PDF. You put down your tools, open your laptop, scroll, search...

15 minutes later, you've found it. But your customer is still waiting.

The solution: just ask

With L'Atelier, you open the app on your phone (yes, it works right next to the bike) and type:

"Torque spec for XT M8100 crankset?"

3 seconds later, you have the answer: 35-50 Nm, with the exact reference from the Shimano manual page.

How does it work?

L'Atelier uses RAG technology (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). In plain terms:

1. You upload your manuals — Shimano, SRAM, Bosch PDFs, whatever you need
2. The AI indexes every page — tables, diagrams, text, everything is understood
3. You ask your question — in natural language, like asking a colleague
4. The AI answers with the source — exact page, exact table

No hallucination: if the info isn't in your manuals, the assistant tells you.

In practice at the workshop
