AI for engineering: IP-safe access to design knowledge
Engineering firms and technical departments run projects that last for years. Calculations, drawings, standards and lessons learned sit scattered across vaults, folders and the minds of senior engineers. Amaii makes that knowledge findable — inside your own EU environment, without your IP ever leaving the building.
The problem: design knowledge is scattered and person-dependent
In engineering organisations, essential knowledge sits in CAD vaults, PLM systems, project folders, calculation models and the heads of senior engineers. Every new project partly reinvents the wheel because earlier designs and calculations are hard to retrieve.
At the same time, your intellectual property — designs, methods, calculation models — must absolutely not leak outside the company. Public AI tools like ChatGPT are therefore not an option: a single prompt containing a drawing or calculation can end up at a competitor.
The solution: private AI that protects your design IP
Amaii offers a private AI solution that runs entirely inside your own EU environment. Drawings, calculations and design documentation stay safely behind your firewall. The model is not trained on your data.
- 100% private: design IP never leaves your environment
On-premise or private cloud under EU jurisdiction. No external APIs, no data sharing.
- Unlocks CAD, PLM, PDM and project archives
Amaii connects existing engineering systems into one searchable knowledge system, respecting permissions and revision control.
- Source references on every answer
Every answer traces back to the original drawing, calculation, standard or project report.
- ISO- and AI Act-ready
Designed in line with ISO 27001, supports ISO 9001 audit processes and the EU AI Act.
How engineering teams use Amaii
From mechanical engineering to civil and electrical engineering: AI adds value the moment it's set up in a safe and traceable way.
- Find comparable earlier designs
Engineers find similar projects, tolerance requirements, material choices and assumptions within seconds.
- Consult standards and regulations fast
Ask for the right ISO, EN or Eurocode passage directly — with source reference and revision.
- Retrieve calculations and assumptions
Search across calculation models, FMEAs and verification reports from earlier projects.
- Onboarding and knowledge retention
Junior engineers ask the knowledge system instead of pulling senior colleagues off their work. Knowledge from departing colleagues is preserved.
- Audit and compliance support
For ISO or CE audits, you retrieve the relevant procedures, calculations and declarations of conformity in seconds.
Why IP protection is non-negotiable
Your competitive advantage sits in your designs, your methods and the engineering knowledge you've built up. The moment that information flows through public AI tools to servers outside the EU, you lose control of where it ends up.
At Amaii that is impossible by design. The language model runs entirely inside your own shielded environment. There is no connection to external servers, no data sharing and no way for your IP to be used to train models.
The engineer stays in the lead
AI supports engineers, drafters and project leads, but does not replace craftsmanship. Amaii finds information, summarises and shows sources — the engineer reviews, validates and decides. That's essential: a wrong assumption or a missed standard update can have major consequences for safety and liability.
