whatt.io launches Bernard – an AI Assistant built to power the future of DPP Management

Malmö, Sweden – November 2025whatt.io, the pioneer in Digital Product Passport (DPP) technology, proudly unveils Bernard, a GPT-based AI assistant designed exclusively for whatt.io’s Back Office. Bernard represents a major leap in digital content management efficiency — transforming how manufacturers, brands, and administrators create, edit, and validate data within the whatt.io ecosystem.

Bernard has been trained with deep knowledge of whatt.io’s Back Office data structures, semantics, and Digital Product Passport logic. He acts as a true expert assistant, guiding users through the creation of compliant DPPs that meet both internal standards and EU regulatory frameworks.

An Expert Built for DPP Creation

Unlike general-purpose AI tools, Bernard understands the whatt.io data model natively.
He can create, edit, and validate information for Products, Parts, and Materials — producing import-ready files that meet every structural rule of the platform.

Bernard automatically normalizes content according to the whatt.io CSV and JSON schema, ensuring every dataset can be uploaded directly to the Back Office without errors or reformatting.

Smarter. Faster. Compliant.

Bernard’s design focuses on what matters most to product teams — productivity, precision, and compliance.

Key capabilities include:

  • Generating DPP-compliant JSON and CSV files for Products, Parts, and Materials

  • Validating data before upload to ensure schema and semantic correctness

  • Auto-formatting metadata to align with whatt.io’s import structure

  • Integrating via the whatt.io API, enabling deeper automation and direct data transfer

  • Acting as a real-time assistant for Back Office authors and editors

When connected to the whatt.io API, Bernard’s abilities expand even further — offering direct interaction with live product data, enabling synchronized updates, metadata corrections, and instant validation before publishing.

Designed to Increase Efficiency

Bernard is more than an assistant — he’s a digital colleague.
By automating repetitive content management work, he enables teams to focus on product development, compliance, and communication.
Early adopters report that Bernard can reduce manual editing time by more than 70%, while ensuring perfect data alignment with the DPP structure.

“Bernard is our bridge between artificial intelligence and the circular economy,” says Stefan Larsson, Founder and CEO of whatt.io.
“He understands the semantics and structure of DPP data — and with his connection to our API, he becomes a fully integrated digital team member for every manufacturer using whatt.io.”

Built for the whatt.io Ecosystem

Bernard complements Dolores, whatt.io’s field AI assistant integrated into each DPP.
While Dolores communicates with users and professionals accessing a product in the field, Bernard powers the Back Office, helping brands build and maintain the digital infrastructure behind every product passport.

Together, they form a unified AI ecosystem — connecting the physical and digital worlds through verified, intelligent product data.
