What Adam does
Adam is an AI CAD Copilot designed for hardware teams, backed by Y Combinator. It integrates with existing CAD and PLM systems like Onshape, Fusion, and SolidWorks, as well as supplier catalogs and other tools. Adam automates recurring tasks across CAD, BOMs, sourcing, renders, and documentation, providing finished outputs like branched model edits, reconciled BOMs, updated drawings, render sets, and drafted RFQs. It aims to streamline engineering workflows by understanding geometry, BOMs, drawings, and revisions in real-time without requiring data migration or exported copies.
Key capabilities
- AI-powered CAD assistance
- Integration with CAD & PLM systems (Onshape, Fusion, SolidWorks, Arena)
- Integration with supplier catalogs (McMaster-Carr, Digi-Key, Xometry)
- Integration with productivity tools (Google Drive, Jira, Linear, Notion, Airtable, Slack, Gmail)
- Real-time reading of geometry, BOMs, drawings, and revisions
- No data migration required
- Output of branched model edits, reconciled BOMs, updated drawings, render sets, drafted RFQs
- Secure data handling with TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit and AES-256 at rest
- Isolated infrastructure with per-user sandboxes
- Least-privilege access with MFA and regular access reviews
- Data minimization with model inputs not used for training and user content deletion within 30 days of account closure
- Bug bounty program
- Anonymous whistleblower channel
Use cases
- Prepare a design review brief
- Compare supplier options for components
- Clean up a Bill of Materials (BOM)
- Create an Engineering Change Order (ECO) packet
- Draft a Request for Quotation (RFQ)
- Track build blockers
- Find component alternates
- Package a factory handoff
- Edit CAD models (e.g., thicken boss, add draft)
- Build and reconcile BOMs
- Find drop-in replacements for end-of-life components
- Generate CMF (Color, Material, Finish) directions
- Create hero shots and exploded views for renders
AI approach
Adam is an AI CAD Copilot for hardware teams that uses AI to automate tasks related to CAD, research, sourcing, and engineering documentation. It connects to various CAD and PLM systems and uses large language models from providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google for inference, as well as other AI tools for embeddings and text-to-speech. The model inputs are not used for training by the providers under commercial terms.
