The problem

Engineers waste

$33B*

a year reading PDF datasheets.

3 in 4 engineers lose at least half a day every week reading datasheets.

Reading a datasheet curve with a ruler and a pencil

The industry

The datasheet never went digital.

Agents read datasheets now. Datasheets are PDFs made for humans. AI agents need data.

The solution

Point at any graph. Get the numbers in seconds.

APPVirtual Datasheet app

Engineers point at a curve and get the value, with its source page.

ENGINEVector Database engine

Turns every datasheet PDF in the world into searchable, cited data.

The datasheet says

49 Amps

In the real world

about 8 Amps

at your operating point:
free air, no heatsink

Found in minutes, before you build the board.

The ambition

Not another tool.

One source of truth.

The data layer between chipmakers, engineers and their AI agents.

Every value verified. Every value cited, on the engineer’s screen and in the agent’s answer.
