Embedder

Embedder is an AI agent for embedded software. It reads your datasheets and schematics, writes the code, flashes the board, runs the tests, and fixes its own mistakes. Testing is hardware-in-the-loop: Embedder drives the equipment your team already owns (debug probes, logic analyzers, power profilers, oscilloscopes) and validates firmware on real silicon, not just against a compiler. Embedder works with some of the top semiconductor ecosystems in the world, supporting 500+ MCUs and 3,000+ periph

Similarity graph

Local clusters rerank extracted product concepts and description terms. The generated graph remains the fallback for sparse descriptions: offline reciprocal product-similarity graph: extracted concepts + description terms + bounded category/affiliation boosts. Minimum fallback score: 0; max competitors: 6.

BootLoop

match 80

BootLoop is building the first AI agent to write and test firmware on real hardware. Existing AI coding assistants fail completely with embedded systems, but our agent ingests datasheets, schematics, and other design files to write firmware in your style and automatically test it on your hardware.

Outerport

match 56

Building out new LNG plants, HVAC systems, or semiconductor processes rely on hundreds of iterations of feasibility testing (through simulation or real-world lab tests) where different designs (combinations of equipment) and parameters are validated. The parameters are often locked in PDFs (datasheets, wiring diagrams, PFDs/P&IDs) which take thousands of hours to convert into CSVs / JSONs, and the simulators don't have an easy API to work with. Outerport bridges the gap by finding documents from

Saffron

match 41

Saffron allows companies to quickly evaluate how well software engineers use AI to code. The way engineers write code has fundamentally changed, but the way companies evaluate them hasn't. Saffron gives teams full visibility into how candidates use AI agents to build, debug, and ship real features on an actual codebase. Saffron was founded by Robert Chondro (formerly MIT and Jane Street), Jerry Yao (Stanford and Jane Street), and Kazuma Choji (Harvey Mudd, published in NeurIPS and ICML), and is

RunLocal AI

match 41

RunLocal’s AI agent is specialized in inference optimization and hardware acceleration for platforms like Nvidia Orin/Thor and Qualcomm. Under the hood, our agentic environment facilitates reliable hardware-in-the-loop experimentation and continuous learning. It tracks every experiment and continuously refines experimentation data into an understanding of what drives performance on your target hardware. This environment means that a generic coding agent (e.g. Codex or Claude Code) can experiment

Slidely AI

match 36

Create new slides or upgrade existing ones with AI that works natively inside PowerPoint and stays true to your company’s branding, templates, and standards. How Slidely AI is different - 1. Works directly in PowerPoint Native PPTX support — no HTML-to-PPT hacks, exports, or broken layouts. 2. Improves slides you already have Because it understands real PowerPoint files, Slidely AI can rewrite, redesign, and tighten existing decks — not just generate new ones. 3. Agentic, consulting-grade output

Decisional AI

match 36

Decisional is the fastest way to build self healing automation agents that work with the apps you use. You just ask for an agent in natural language, it builds and tests its own workflow that it runs constantly in the background.
