Webinar Replay – Audit Manager Winter 2026 Release

QualityAI was pleased to announce “LUQA”, as well as a number of new features and enhancements, at our Winter Release Webinar in January 2026.

LUQA stands for Last Universal Quality Archetype, and is a unified, purpose-built AI model for manufacturing quality.

It is what makes the difference between AI “hype” and a specifically-engineered AI engine that provides accuracy and repeatability.

Here are some of the other topics we discussed – we always like to provide links to the “highlights” if you only have a few minutes to watch this recording:


06:08
Discussion of the Product Audit Scoring Agent (PASA) – VDA 6.5 example

06:44
Discussion of System Audit Compliance Agent (SACA) – an AI-powered “co-auditor” for IATF 16949 system audits

11:45 Technical overview of LUQA (Last Universal Quality Archetype) – showing how we deliver accuracy and consistency without sharing confidential company information … or hallucinations

33:52
Drill-down into how the AI is able to bring relevant information and action items to a specific finding, such as reformulation, applicable standards, short-term remediation, root cause analysis, final recommended wording for audit report, and much more (see full bulleted list below)
