About this app

Root Cause AI walks you through a 5 Why root cause analysis on the plant floor, in plain language, in minutes.

Describe the breakdown, defect, or process deviation in your own words. The AI asks the next "why" like an experienced engineer would, keeps the chain on track, and ends with a root cause statement and a short list of corrective actions you can assign and follow up on.

WHAT YOU GET
• Guided 5 Why investigations for equipment breakdowns, quality defects, and process deviations
• Three-legged RCA (physical, human, and systemic causes) for repeat problems
• A manual 5 Why worksheet when you'd rather work it yourself
• Corrective action tracking with owners, due dates, and overdue reminders
• One-page RCA reports you can share or print
• An AI-built SOP and work instruction writer for standards and procedures
• AI-guided shift handoff (turnover) notes so the next shift knows what happened
• Reports that keep every completed investigation and shift log in one place

WHO IT IS FOR
Maintenance technicians, operators, quality inspectors, and shift supervisors in manufacturing. If you already use RCA, CAPA, 8D, or fishbone diagrams, the 5 Why flow will feel familiar; if you don't, it teaches the method as you go.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Tap New Investigation and describe the problem.
2. Answer a few questions. The AI drills into the cause, not the symptom.
3. Review the root cause and corrective actions, then save.
4. Track actions to closure and share the report with your team.

PLANS
Free includes every feature with ads and 3 AI investigations a month. AI Plus adds more AI investigations. Unlimited adds unlimited AI investigations, multi user teams, cloud sync, and a shared user directory. Manual 5 Why is always free and unlimited.

Root Cause AI is built by IronStratos LLC for manufacturing and maintenance teams that want a faster, more consistent root cause analysis and a CAPA record they can stand behind.
