Creopus.ai. The AI-native platform for hardware engineering.

00:07 — One connected model

Hardware development runs on disconnected tools and tribal knowledge — requirements in one document, analysis in another, sourcing in a spreadsheet, and nothing connecting them. Creopus replaces all of it with a single model of the product. This is a real flight-control system, broken down the way engineers actually think — system, subsystem, board, component — and every piece of engineering work hangs off this one tree.

00:41 — Requirements, generated and traceable

From any node, the platform generates a complete, structured requirement set in seconds — here, the flight-control MCU board. Every requirement carries a stable, traceable ID from the moment it is written, and is checked against aerospace design-input standards. What used to take an engineer a day is now a ninety-second draft that a reviewer refines.

01:10 — Decisions, defended

Every real design decision is a trade-off, and reviewers and auditors want to see it was made deliberately. The platform runs the trade study for you — here, three microcontroller options scored against weighted criteria like functional-safety suitability, real-time performance and cost — so choosing the lockstep processor is a defensible decision, not just an assertion.

01:39 — Risk, surfaced

Beyond what the design must do, the platform analyses how it can fail. A design FMEA identifies each failure mode, rates its severity, and records the mitigation — every entry scored so the highest-risk items rise to the top. This is the safety analysis critical programs are required to produce, generated from the same grounded understanding of the board.

02:10 — Architecture and interfaces

Architecture is captured as a living block diagram — here the whole flight-control computer, from power conditioning through the sensor module and the dual-core processor out to the servo drives. Power, data and control connections are typed and labelled, and an interface control document is derived straight from it — so the connections between blocks are specified, not left to a photo of a whiteboard.

02:41 — The design, judged

This is where Creopus does something no document tool can. Upload the actual schematic, simulation or PCB, and the platform reviews the implementation — grounded in this node's requirements, FMEA and bill of materials — and returns real engineering findings, graded by severity and by discipline. It judges the design; it does not just store it.

03:10 — Verification, planned

Every requirement has to be verified, and the design verification plan lays out exactly how — test by test — closing the loop from what the product must do to the evidence that it does it.

03:27 — One live picture of the whole program

And because it is all one model, the platform rolls it up into a single live picture of the program. Verification at ninety percent, validation complete, interfaces largely closed, every requirement traced — with a requirements-traceability matrix and a verification-and-validation record you can export for an audit, and AI-surfaced insights flagging exactly what still needs attention. This is the systems-engineering view that normally takes a dedicated tool and a team to maintain.

04:05 — From design to purchasable parts

A design only ships if the parts are real. The procurement workspace turns a part into purchasable options — comparing suppliers on price, lead time and fit — and writes the decision straight back to the bill of materials, with full sourcing provenance.

04:26 — One agent, every tool

And every one of those tools is driven by an autonomous agent. Ask it once — audit these requirements, raise a DFMEA for the gaps — and it chains the tools together, grounded in the same model. Every change it makes comes back as a proposal you review and merge, never a silent edit. And the same tools reach your other AI clients through an open protocol, so Creopus works from Claude or Cursor too.

04:59 — creopus.ai

One product. One connected model. From the first requirement to a sourced, verified, audit-ready design — with AI doing the heavy lifting and engineers in control of every decision. That is Creopus. See it at creopus dot A I.

Creopus is an AI-native platform for hardware product development — unifying concept definition, systems engineering, detailed design, verification, and procurement into one change-controlled system of record. It pairs AI generation with an engineer-in-the-loop workflow to ensure full control over every technical decision.

Explore the Tools​

Concept​

Tools to frame project scope and trade-offs early:

  • Engagement Intake — capture stakeholder goals and initial technical constraints.
  • SWOT Analysis — evaluate project strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
  • Pugh Matrix — rank and compare architectural concept trade-offs systematically.
  • Block Diagram & Flowchart — visually map high-level functional elements, signals, and workflows.

Requirements​

  • Requirements (ReqGen) — structured, level-aware requirements with deterministic quality checks and bi-directional traceability.

Preliminary Design​

Detailed Design​

  • DFMEA & PFMEA — design and process failure-mode and effects analysis feeding directly into your Risk Register and CAPA workflows.
  • Control Plan — define manufacturing, inspection, and reaction plans derived directly from failure modes.
  • Design Verification Plan (DVP) — specify verification methods, acceptance criteria, and test coverage.
  • Root Cause & Corrective Action (RCCA) — investigate anomalies and trace corrective actions.
  • Implementation Workspace — upload schematics, PCB layouts, or SPICE decks to get structured findings verified against your requirements.
  • PCB Layer Stackup — design a layer stackup to your impedance targets from manufacturer laminate data, with the trace width for every layer.

PCB Fab & Procurement​

  • BOM Completion — enrich, structure, and finalize multi-level bills of materials.
  • Gerber Analysis — inspect and validate fabrication files directly in the platform.
  • Procurement — search, curate, issue RFQs, and compare parts before pushing them to the BOM.
  • Build Config — manage hardware variants, component alternates, and assembly configurations.

Systems Engineering​

  • System Hierarchy — the change-controlled tree structure that anchors every requirement, component, and test.
  • Product Variants & Visual PBS — model a whole product family in one tree, browse it as pictures, and compare models side by side.
  • Stage-Gate Checklist — enforce cross-functional phase exit and sign-off criteria.
  • ConOps & SEMP — defensible Concept of Operations and Systems Engineering Management Plans.
  • Risk Register & CAPA — close the loop between active project risks, design revisions, and corrective actions.

Calculators​

  • Engineering Calculators — fast, deterministic formulas for common electrical, thermal, and mechanical rules.
  • Parts Finder — quickly identify compliant components and suitable alternates.

Platform Workflows & Integrations​

  • Review Workflow — submit, comment, disposition, approve, and baseline changes seamlessly.
  • MCP Server — interface directly with Creopus tools from Claude, Cursor, and other external AI clients.
