# Leo AI

> Leo AI is a Cambridge, Massachusetts company building what it calls the world's first AI purpose-built for mechanical engineering. Its engineering design co-pilot, powered by a proprietary Large Mechanical Model (LMM) trained on millions of real-world products and engineering standards, turns text, sketches and specifications into production-ready 3D CAD models. Leo integrates with CAD and PDM systems to answer technical questions, source parts, run mechanical calculations and generate design concepts, and says it helps teams cut engineering time by up to 70%.

- **Founded:** 2023
- **Headquarters:** Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
- **Founders:** Maor Farid (Co-Founder & CEO), Moti Moravia (Co-Founder & CTO)
- **Team size:** ~12-27 employees
- **Products:** Leo AI Engineering Design Co-Pilot, Large Mechanical Model (LMM), Technical Q&A and Problem Solving, Part Sourcing & Discovery, Design Concept Generation
- **Notable:** Raised $9.7M in seed funding led by Flint Capital, Grew to 50,000+ engineers using the platform, Claims 96% accuracy on engineering questions vs 46% for generic AI tools

## Products & services

- **Leo AI Engineering Design Co-Pilot** — A domain-specific AI platform for mechanical engineers that integrates with CAD software and PDM systems, turning text, sketches, specs and CAD constraints into DFMA-optimized 3D CAD models.
- **Large Mechanical Model (LMM)** — A proprietary foundational AI model trained on millions of real-world products and engineering standards, using mechanical parts (bolts, bearings, etc.) as tokens rather than text.
- **Technical Q&A and Problem Solving** — Context-aware answers to engineering questions, standards-compliance guidance and mechanical calculations, claimed at 96% accuracy versus 46% for generic AI tools.
- **Part Sourcing & Discovery** — Natural-language search to find and filter components and reuse existing designs from a company's own vaults.
- **Design Concept Generation** — Generates 3D concepts and design documentation from multi-modal input including text and sketches.
