Protect output and customer trust.
Faster quality and maintenance reviews help keep orders, launches, and service commitments moving.
A working hypothesis for 3M plant, quality, and technical-sales teams
3M runs thousands of products through plants, labs, and quality reviews across dozens of divisions, and every launch, order, and shipment turns on evidence-heavy decisions. The open roles cluster in manufacturing, quality, lab work, technical sales, and supply chain, where a missing document or unclear next step stalls the line. The first useful OpenNash workflow would take one recurring exception, assemble the context from the systems teams already use, and let an operator approve the next step faster.
OpenNash builds custom 24/7 AI agents for customer support, back-office, and operational work. We automate workflows end to end inside the systems your team already uses: secure, auditable, and human-reviewed where it matters.
Business thesis
3M's operating model depends on many small decisions across manufacturing, quality, maintenance, and customer support. OpenNash helps teams clear evidence-heavy exceptions before they slow production or service.
3M SEC filingsFaster quality and maintenance reviews help keep orders, launches, and service commitments moving.
When teams spend less time chasing missing context, they can avoid repeated checks, delays, and handoffs.
Source-linked packets let teams approve, edit, or reroute more exceptions without changing the systems they already use.
What OpenNash is
We study how your best humans solve hard work, replicate the skill, and build AI agents that automate the repetitive parts while keeping people in control of exceptions, approvals, and judgment calls.
We do the workflow audit, build the agent, connect the tools, write evals, and launch against real operating cases.
Forward-deployed engineers embed with your team, watch the best operators work, and prove one workflow before you commit.
APIs, CRMs, data warehouses, dashboards, spreadsheets, inboxes, browser-only portals, and legacy systems.
We will fly to you, work with the people doing the work, and price the pilot risk so you do not have to.
Zero to Agent
We explain the pieces in plain English: models, tools, context, approvals, evals, and why reliable agents need more than a prompt.
We connect to the tools that finish the work today and replicate the process against real test cases before automation.
Human-in-the-loop review, monitoring, audit logs, recovery paths, and automated tests keep the agent reliable in production.
Evaluations are the difference between a demo and a production workflow. We write test cases for incomplete requests, unusual documents, portal errors, approval paths, and edge cases so the agent can fail safely, ask for help, and improve from real reviewer feedback.
Research snapshot
3M's public postings cluster around plant and lab operations, technical sales, and supply chain, the teams that work through evidence-heavy exceptions every day. This is a read from public postings, not an internal org chart, so treat it as a starting hypothesis until an operator confirms the real workflow.

Three problems worth solving
3M is hiring across manufacturing, labs, and cross-functional roles, including Laboratory Technologist, Manufacturing Supervisor, and Specialist / Manager - Activation Marketer. These roles turn scattered records, specs, and approvals into next steps someone has to assemble by hand.
OpenNash can gather context from existing systems, draft the next step, and show staff exactly why the recommendation was made.
Less manual coordination and a clearer view of where work gets stuck.
“Laboratory Technologist”
3M's field organization spans sales, technical sales, and account management, including Area Sales Manager, National Sales Manager - Trade, and Senior Sales Engineer. Every deal turns notes, quotes, and specs into follow-up work someone tracks by hand.
OpenNash can convert orders, quotes, visit notes, warranty details, and customer updates into reviewed next-step packets.
More time with customers and fewer dropped follow-ups.
“Area Sales Manager”
3M has 65 visible open roles in this pattern, including Sr. Specialist - Global Molding Procurement, Regulatory Affairs Manager - Transportation Safety business, and Demand Planner, Brazil. That points to repeated work where context has to move cleanly between people and systems.
OpenNash can watch the workflow, gather route, order, inventory, or shipment context, draft the next step, and keep operators in control.
Faster handoffs and fewer unresolved exceptions at shift change.

How OpenNash would help
The first pilot should make the messy handoff visible, reviewable, and measurable without replacing the systems staff already use.
How the first 14 days run
3M reviewed operating exception workflow
Sit with the team that owns the workflow and record the decision points, source systems, exceptions, and approval rules.
Define what context the reviewer needs, what OpenNash drafts, and what must stay human-approved.
Turn real requests into source-linked packets inside a small review workflow.
Review cycle time, approval rate, edits, rework, and the exceptions that should stay manual.
No charge for the pilot. U.S.-based team — we fly to you. OpenNash connects to the systems your teams already use; nothing is replaced. Every draft, summary, and routing decision lands in a simple review flow where your staff approve, edit, or reject it, with a link back to the source and an audit trail of every action.
