About CAI Intake

Our Mission

CAI Intake was born from a simple observation: woodworking professionals spend too much time manually transcribing cutlists from handwritten notes, scanned documents, and messy spreadsheets into their optimization software.

Our mission is to eliminate this tedious, error-prone process by leveraging AI and machine learning to automatically extract, validate, and format cutlist data – saving hours of manual work and reducing costly errors.

Whether you're a small custom shop or a large production facility, CAI Intake adapts to your workflow and integrates with the tools you already use.
