Lo que hace Draftaid

DraftAid is the world's first generative AI for CAD manufacturing drawings, akin to GitHub Copilot but for CAD. It drastically shortens drawing creation time, turning hours into seconds. Every product that is manufactured - from construction to aerospace, automotive, durable goods, and electronics - relies on drawings. Currently, engineers and designers painstakingly make these essential drawings manually. Draftaid streamlines this process saving teams millions in time and quality. The idea was born out of Abdullah's experience as a mechanical design team member, where he created thousands of drawings and longed for a more efficient process. Partnering with Tahsin, a neighbour with a PhD in AI, and Mohammed, a seasoned engineering VP with experience in construction software, they turned the dream into reality. Since their launch in August, DraftAid has engaged customers through targeted outreach and word-of-mouth, securing paid pilots with subsequent contracts valued at $150,000. Be a part of ushering in the new era of CAD designs!

Go from 3D models to CAD drawings using AI

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built DraftAid, an AI assistant that automatically generates manufacturing CAD drawings from 3D models. Engineers and designers spend hours or days creating these drawings manually, which are critical for manufacturing products across industries like construction, aerospace, and automotive. Our product slashes that time from hours to seconds, making the process faster and less error-prone.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Toronto, ON, Canada, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Toronto has a strong engineering and AI talent pool that fits our team needs. Being close to our initial customers and our own networks makes it easier to iterate quickly and build real relationships.
