Borzo — the hardware design copilot that turns ideas into prototypes in minutes
We integrate directly into Fusion 360 (and next SolidWorks/Onshape) to design, validate, and improve models with natural language. Our wedge is an in-CAD troubleshooting agent; our beachhead vertical is UAV design; the endgame is a universal hardware copilot.
No sign-up. Works locally inside Fusion 360.
Vision
Build the world’s first hardware co-pilot — an AI that designs, validates, and improves products automatically. We compress time-to-prototype from weeks to minutes, lower the expertise barrier, and unlock faster iteration for teams of any size.
Problems we solve
- Idea → prototype takes too long and costs too much.
- Manual, repetitive validation (materials, configs) slows iteration.
- Traditional CAD is expertise-heavy; answers are scattered across docs/forums.
Who we help first
- Enthusiasts & small startups that have ideas but lack full engineering depth.
- Experienced engineers who want to move faster by automating repetitive design & validation.
Mission
Ship an AI assistant that plugs directly into leading CAD tools (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Onshape) and turns natural-language intent into models, fixes, and validated designs — reducing time, cost, and rework.
Why now
- LLM quality + retrieval makes domain-specific agents practical.
- APIs for major CAD systems are mature enough for deep integration.
- Hardware teams need speed: UAVs, robotics, consumer devices.
Three-Stage Plan
Clear milestones from an in-CAD troubleshooting wedge to a vertical copilot and, ultimately, a universal hardware design platform.
Stage 1 — CAD-Native Troubleshooting Agent
LiveChat inside CAD to resolve errors and learn workflows without leaving the design environment.
- Workflow guidance across sketches, assemblies, CAM, sheet-metal.
- Best-practice tips on manufacturability & performance trade-offs.
- Source-backed answers pulled from official docs and guides.
Stage 2 — Vertical Copilot (UAV Focus)
70% doneA domain-aware copilot that generates and edits UAV parts/assemblies, validates flight metrics, and proposes improvements.
- Natural language → UAV CAD (airframes, propulsion, mounts).
- Embedded knowledge of aero, thrust, materials.
- Simulation-in-the-loop validation (lift, thrust, stability).
- Optimization suggestions (weight, prop placement, battery sizing).
Stage 3 — Universal Hardware Design Copilot
NextExpand beyond UAVs to a general-purpose copilot spanning design → simulate → prototype → iterate.
- Natural language to CAD for any domain.
- AI-driven validation: stress, manufacturability, materials, cost.
- Cross-domain intelligence for best practices.
- Closed-loop workflow with AI in the loop.
