FloorTalk is a conversational discrete-event simulation agent for manufacturing. Factory managers describe a line in plain words — or upload a DXF floor plan — and the agent builds a simulation model, runs it locally in SimPy, names the bottleneck, and proves what-if fixes with engine-computed numbers. The problem: simulation software takes expertise most factory managers don't have, so bottleneck decisions get made on gut feel. FloorTalk removes that barrier: one sentence becomes a validated model, and a second machine can be proven before it's purchased. The language model translates words and explains results; it never produces a performance number.
