Roadmap & Position in Hardware Engineering

Helps hardware engineers find components in seconds with AI search inside Slack and Teams.

Company Overview

An AI-powered copilot for hardware engineering teams that searches electronic components, parses datasheets, and streamlines project scoping directly within Slack and Microsoft Teams using natural language queries.

What They're Building

The company's public product roadmap & what they're committed to building.

Slack/Teams-embedded copilot for natural language component search, live pricing/availability, and datasheet parsing. Also exploring Clam (Semantic Firewall) for enterprise AI agent security.

BaseFrame

's Moat:

Component search queries and datasheet parsing results build a proprietary knowledge graph of parts relationships, compatibility rules, and project-specific preferences. Slack and Teams integration means the tool is embedded in the conversation where procurement decisions happen, not siloed in a separate app.

How They're Leveraging AI

AI Use Overview:

Using natural language search across millions of parts, document intelligence for PDF datasheets, and a conversational agent that scopes projects and estimates BOMs.

More Similar Companies

Etched

Transformer-only ASIC and inference supercomputer stack positioned against Nvidia B200.

If transformers remain dominant, hardwiring the graph into silicon plus owning the pod and rack layer gives Etched a cost-per-token edge NVIDIA cannot match without abandoning generality.

Aurorin CAD

Lets mechanical engineers design parts in seconds instead of hours with AI-native CAD.

SolidWorks has not been meaningfully challenged in 30 years. Aurorin built a parametric kernel from scratch with an AI chat interface, and a 3x SpaceX intern with GPU engineering experience is exactly the right person to do it.

Chasi

Deploys 24/7 AI agents that automate sales, rental, and service for equipment dealers.

Industrial equipment dealers run sales, rental, and service across phone, email, and web chat with no automation. Chasi deploys 24/7 AI agents across all channels, and the founder led AI deployments at Cummins and Harley-Davidson, so he already has the Rolodex.

DAIVIN!

Builds tankless dive gear that extracts breathable oxygen from water via electrolysis.

Tankless dive gear using electrolysis to extract oxygen from water. If the physics works at depth, it replaces scuba tanks entirely. The founder is a Finnish electrical engineer with the country's highest certification and military diving experience. Moonshot hardware with multi-domain potential (sea, land, space).
