I like to introduce our CELUS AI approach with the three basic assumptions we build our platform from. If we can:
It all starts with our AI helping capture your intent.
We’ve built the CELUS Design process to reflect the way you approach thinking about electronics, starting from a systems-level and onward. Our Design Assistant is designed to be the trusted helper to get you to comparing and evaluating solution options as soon as possible. Whether you’re starting from a big set of requirements, a sketch of what you want, or just a vague idea of what you want to achieve, the Design Assistant helps to start your project off and get to a system architecture quickly.
The CELUS Design Assistant doesn’t just create a block diagram for you; it helps you by capturing other preferences (like preferred manufacturers or components) and writing up some aspects of the project (like your title and project summary) as you interact with it, taking work off your hands, and improving suggestions and advice to fit your goals and needs. If something isn’t clear, it asks questions to help get you to a better design, quicker.
Our AI-based search is built to connect your high-level ideas and deeper preferences to a matching set of solution options.
As we all know, the best information is built on real experience and lessons learnt along the way. That’s why our AI is trained on the CELUS Library, an ever-growing set of up-to-date component information and CUBOs designed by professional engineers at Component Manufacturers and CELUS. We partner with component manufacturer FAE teams to ensure the CUBOs and component information reflect the various applications for their components, so that you have an ever-improving, larger set of CUBOs that match your functional needs and requirements.
Our AI-based search combines all those pieces of your intent to bring you the matching CUBOs and components. The more you interact with it, the better the matching CUBO options. This gives you the power to see components in their context, and our search helps you easily compare different options for the same purpose.
Component Manufacturers also love CUBOs and AI search, because they showcase new uses for existing components in their application contexts, and can highlight uses for components you might not know about, that could fit your needs better than the ones you already know. And all this happens by CELUS matching the components to what you want.
Our AI doesn’t stop at helping collect your thoughts and requirements, and then finding a list of matching CUBO options.
The Design Assistant and upcoming AI search for CUBOs help you focus by finding the information you require from the vast amount of component and CUBO information and documents from component manufacturers. Ask a question of the Design Assistant, and it finds you the answer, and through our partnerships with component manufacturers, backs it up with the reference to the relevant information in our partners’ resources and tools. Tell the new AI search for CUBOs about what specifically you are looking for to perform a function in your circuit, and it whittles down the list of options to only those that fit your more detailed view.
We are constantly building on validating your design is electrically correct, working to help you select the right ports and supply connections to get your design working from the start. You may have noticed our error messages have been getting more detailed over the last few months, with more information to help you get to a working schematic ready for component placement. We continue to improve on them, and over the coming months you will see additional advice in the form of warnings and suggestions to improve your design.
Our AI search also continues once you have selected the right CUBO for you. You can see a list of matching alternatives for the passive, electromechanical and interconnector components in the BOM, found based on your own preferences and requirements. The Design Assistant is there to help understand the alternative options, too – just like with CUBOs, you ask it questions about the alternatives and it gives you the answer with relevant citations.
Engineers match Components. Components match Engineers. All on one platform.
