"A startup that's developed an AI "copilot" to provide engineers with information about mechanical systems has raised $9.7 million in seed funding. Massachusetts-based Leo AI has created what it calls a large mechanical model, or "LMM," that's trained on engineering materials like sketches and peer-reviewed technical literature. Engineers can enter prompts, like "show me a bolt that fits this hole," and the AI can display the correct one."
""We developed the first AI to understand geometry and engineering," Leo AI's cofounder and CEO, Maor Farid, told Business Insider. "Our LMM knows how to take machine parts as tokens, and turn them into an assembly model." A key problem the startup wants to solve is reducing the amount of time mechanical engineers spend on repetitive tasks, such as searching for product parts."
Leo AI created a large mechanical model (LMM) trained on engineering sketches and peer-reviewed technical literature to assist mechanical engineers. The platform accepts text prompts, sketches, and 3D designs to identify parts, visualize concepts, and convert machine parts into assembly models. The tool aims to reduce repetitive engineering tasks such as searching for product parts. Revenue is generated through short-term subscription plans sold to clients including Scania, HP, and Siemens. Flint Capital led a $9.7 million seed round with participation from an A16z scout, Tech Aviv, Two Lanterns VC, and Google VP Yossi Matias. Funding will accelerate product development.
