Built for the hardware age

Integrate AI into every part of your hardware lifecycle. Woven into how your knowledge is written, maintained, and understood by both teams and systems.

AI-Native Ingestion

Automatically structure your hardware files

Point Pretzel at your CAD, BOMs, schematics, and test notes. AI automatically understands your project structure and creates organized documentation from day one.

Living Documentation

Self-updating knowledge management

Documentation that stays in sync with your files. When you update a design, BOMs, or specs, Pretzel automatically updates all linked docs and presentations.

Executive Summaries

Intelligent assistance for stakeholders

Turn complex hardware files into executive-ready slides and summaries. AI generates high-level overviews perfect for design reviews and investor updates.

Universal Compatibility

Works with your entire hardware stack

Supports all major CAD formats, spreadsheet BOMs, PDFs, Git repos, and more. Pretzel integrates with the tools you already use every day.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Stop rebuilding slides

Never manually update presentations again. Pretzel auto-generates slides from your latest files, perfect for design reviews and investor updates.

Single source of truth

All documentation pulls from your live files. No more version conflicts, outdated specs, or hunting for the latest BOM.

Instant onboarding

New team members get up to speed in days, not weeks. AI-organized documentation makes complex hardware projects easy to understand.

Secure and private

Enterprise-grade security with encryption at rest and in transit. Your hardware IP stays yours - we never train on your data.

From chaos to clarity
