Generative speed, engineering guardrails
Describe it in a sentence.
Get a BOM you can actually build.
Type “build a 30-amp RV hookup kit for the exterior wall” and watch a structured assembly stream in — every line resolved on the server against your real part catalog, not guessed by a language model. Review it, accept it, and it becomes a reusable, part-backed sub-assembly.
AI BOM Helper
Proposed assembly · resolved against your catalog
What actually changes
Not “a chatbot bolted onto your PLM.” A junior engineer who builds like your best one — and never invents a part.
Minutes, not a mentor
A junior engineer produces senior-quality BOMs from a plain-language brief — no years of tribal knowledge required first.
100% catalog-real
Every suggested line maps to a part you actually stock and cost. There is nothing to fact-check, because nothing was invented.
Governed, not bypassed
AI accelerates the work but obeys the same rules and approvals as everyone else — and every action is audited.
Grounded generation
A prompt in. A real assembly out.
State the intent in plain language and the BOM Helper proposes a structured assembly — then resolves it line by line on the server against your live catalog. Parts that don’t exist can’t make it into the proposal, so the result is buildable the moment you see it, not a starting point you have to clean up.
- Plain-language requests become structured, multi-line assemblies
- Every line resolved server-side against your real part catalog
- Hallucinated or non-stock parts are excluded by construction
- Quantities and costs roll up the instant the proposal lands

Proposed assembly · resolved against your catalog
Review & accept
You stay in the driver’s seat
Nothing changes until you say so. Review the proposal against your BOM, adjust, and accept it as a real, part-backed sub-assembly — a genuine Part with its own bill of materials and a resolved BOM behind it. What the AI builds becomes reusable across every product that needs it.
- Inspect the proposed assembly before anything is committed
- Accept into the BOM as a reusable, part-backed sub-assembly
- Each accepted assembly is a real Part with its own resolved BOM
- Reuse the same sub-assembly across products, no re-prompting
The AI drafts; the engineer decides. Speed you can put on a shop floor without giving up the last word.

More than a BOM — a co-pilot across the platform
Beyond drafting assemblies, the Co-pilot searches and acts across parts, BOMs, products, designs, and change orders — finding the right component, surfacing where it’s used, and helping you move work forward. And because every AI action is recorded in a full Co-pilot Audit, you can answer “who changed this, and why?” even when the answer is the AI.
- Natural-language search across parts, BOMs, products, and designs
- Take action on change orders without leaving the conversation
- Every AI action captured in a full Co-pilot Audit
- AI changes are attributed and reversible, like any other change

How it works
From a sentence to a costed, buildable assembly
- 1
Describe the intent
Type what you need in plain language — “a 30-amp RV hookup kit for the exterior wall” — no part numbers required.
- 2
Resolve on the server
Manufacts proposes a structured assembly and resolves every line against your real catalog, excluding anything it can’t map to a stocked part.
- 3
Review the proposal
You see a complete, costed assembly with quantities — inspect and adjust it before a single change is committed.
- 4
Accept as a sub-assembly
Accept it into the BOM as a reusable, part-backed sub-assembly — a real Part with its own resolved BOM — and the action is audited.
Catalog-resolved generation
An ordinary LLM guesses plausible part numbers and quantities — confident, fluent, and frequently wrong. Grounded AI is different: Manufacts takes the model’s proposal and resolves every line against your real catalog on the server before it can be accepted. If a part isn’t real, stocked, and costed, it never reaches the BOM. That’s the difference between a demo and speed you can put on a shop floor.
Learn the full spectrumUnder the hood
Everything the AI Co-pilot does
Plain-language BOM drafting
Turn a one-sentence request into a structured, multi-line assembly.
Server-side resolution
Every proposed line is mapped to a real catalog part before you can accept it.
No hallucinated parts
Non-existent or non-stock parts are excluded by construction, not by review.
Costed proposals
Quantities and part costs roll up automatically so you trust the number, not just the list.
Reusable sub-assemblies
Accepted proposals become real Parts with their own resolved BOM, reusable anywhere.
Platform-wide search
Find and act across parts, BOMs, products, designs, and change orders.
Co-pilot Audit
Every AI action is recorded, attributed, and reviewable like any other change.
Governed by the same rules
AI suggestions respect your constraints, workflow, and approvals — no bypass.
Works hand-in-hand with
Every capability shares one model — so the parts connect on their own.

Watch a sentence become a buildable BOM.
Bring an assembly you’d normally hand to a senior engineer. We’ll describe it in plain English and show it resolved against a real catalog — costed, reusable, and audited — in 30 minutes.
