Have you ever been on a flight where they specifically asked to power down Samsung Galaxy Note 7s? That wasn't just an isolated incident. It was a rare public glimpse into a hidden crisis that's lurking in every piece of tech you own.

Your phone, your car's computer, even your smart fridge—they're all complex jigsaws. But here's the thing: engineers are solving these puzzles without the box, fitting pieces from different sets into one coherent picture.

One tiny mismatch, and boom—you've got a crisis.

Here's a fact that'll make your head spin: the electronics industry loses billions yearly due to component compatibility issues. It's a trillion-dollar problem hiding in plain sight.

Every recall, every delayed launch, every shelved innovation? That's not just a headline—that's the future, on hold.

• That life-saving medical device that could've been in hospitals last year? Stuck in compatibility hell.
• The electric car that could've slashed carbon emissions? Recalled because two parts couldn't play nice.
• The smartphone feature that could've changed how we communicate? Scrapped because it couldn't mesh with existing hardware.

Behind every device are brilliant minds working overtime. They could be pushing boundaries, creating the next big thing. Instead, they're stuck in a maze of manual checks, trying to predict how millions of parts will interact.

This is where Niyam AI comes in. We're not here to replace these geniuses; we're here to supercharge them. By leveraging AI, we're flipping the script on how hardware is designed and validated.

Picture this: engineers spotting issues in seconds, not weeks. Companies innovating without the fear of costly recalls. Your devices? Safer and more reliable than ever.

This isn't sci-fi. It's happening now, and we're building it.

Imagine the next groundbreaking medical device reaching patients years earlier. Electric vehicles becoming the new normal. Your next phone lasting longer and doing more than you ever thought possible.

This isn't just about changing an industry. It's about improving the devices that you use in your everyday life. You can try our software out here and see for yourself.

We are thrilled to announce that Iterative has invested in Niyam AI and selected us to join their prestigious accelerator program. This partnership marks a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionize hardware design validation in the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) industry.

About Iterative

By investing in early-stage ventures from a variety of industries, Iterative provides more than just financial backing; it offers guidance, resources, and the opportunity to connect with a broad network of investors and business experts. Its well-structured accelerator program is designed to aid startups in their growth and to thrive in the competitive global marketplace. Being included in Iterative's portfolio is a privilege, and we eagerly anticipate utilizing their wealth of knowledge and connections to fast-track our development.

Problem Overview

The EMS industry, despite its technological advancements, continues to grapple with outdated design processes. Traditional methods are slow, error-prone, and cost the industry an estimated $70 billion annually due to delays, design flaws, and product recalls. The lack of innovation in electronic design automation (EDA) and computer-aided design (CAD) tools over the past two decades has left engineers with archaic interfaces and functionalities, akin to using MS Paint in the age of Cognition AI.

Several critical issues plague the industry:

• Fragmented Validation Processes: Manual checks and outdated validation methods lead to costly design flaws and frequent product recalls. The absence of comprehensive system-level validation tools results in unforeseen problems surfacing in later stages of development.
• Communication and Integration Breakdown: Siloed engineering teams with unique constraints and communication styles often face misinterpretations and conflicting design decisions, causing significant delays and errors.
• Reactive Approach and Lack of Real-Time Data: Current solutions are predominantly reactive, identifying issues only after they escalate. The lack of continuous monitoring and real-time data analysis leaves companies unaware of potential problems until it's too late.

Solution Overview

Niyam AI is revolutionizing hardware design validation, enabling electronics manufacturers and engineers to validate their products with unprecedented speed, accuracy, and efficiency. By integrating seamlessly with existing technologies and offering real-time feedback and predictive insights, Niyam AI dramatically reduces time and costs, minimizes human error, and mitigates the risks associated with costly product recalls.

Product Description

Niyam AI leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to parse various documents, such as schematics, component datasheets, and CMF files. This enables users to conduct risk assessments, identify potential thermal loss or signal integrity issues, and study component compatibility among other functionalities.
