Build Automations

Standardize and speed up common workflows, from quoting to compliance. Delegate work to an AI agent that understands your company practices.

Capuchin workflows — Quote Agent and Contract Compliance automations

Quote faster

Capuchin reads your RFQ, RFP, or any customer requirements. Then, it finds matches from your heritage data and company docs, and creates a ready-to-edit draft in minutes.

Capuchin automatically builds and maintains an engineering database of your organization's work. Stop spending hours searching for prior projects and never miss a "lessons learned" document again.

How it works

Capuchin is an AI librarian for your engineering and company data. Our patent-pending indexer reads every CDR, PDR, drawing, BOM, and test file in your archive and catalogues the engineering meaning, not just the words on the page. This enables far better recall than keyword or vector search, and an agent that can answer questions, find reuse opportunities, and draft quotes against your real heritage.

Catalogued the way an engineer would.

Every document is decomposed into structured facts, creating an engineering database of your work.

Built for engineering, great for the whole team

Generic enterprise search doesn't see your PDM or project metadata.
Capuchin captures it all.

Capuchin Onyx Glean Microsoft Copilot
Permission sync
Everyone can only see what they should. Permissions are inherited from the source system.
PDM and PLM indexing
Native crawl of PDM vaults and PLM data: drawings, BOMs, revisions, presentations, and metadata, all citable.
On-premise deployment
Data never leaves your infrastructure.
~ ~
Revision awareness
Knows that Rev C supersedes Rev B and answers from the latest unless asked otherwise.
Engineering-aware normalization
Indexes engineering shorthand for units or part types, custom for your company. Eg. A search for "Ka-band" matches 26.5-40 GHz.

For Proposal Writers

Starts from your best previous work -- automatically matched, not manually hunted.

For Engineers

Finds what the senior engineer would have told you, without interrupting them.

For Management

Build accessible institutional knowledge that stays when people leave.

Our Approach

We deploy in phases. We start with a focused set of documents and learning from your team. Then, we'll help every step as you scale up. Everything runs inside your perimeter from day one, so value compounds without risk.

  1. Phase 1

    Build Engineering Database

    We connect Capuchin to your PDM, network drives, ERP, any requested data store. Capuchin builds an engineering database of your heritage. Read-only and inside your perimeter.

  2. Phase 2

    Ensure Accuracy

    Your team searches and asks questions grounded in real heritage, with qualification test data and cost actuals integrated. We ensure the answers are accurate and high quality.

  3. Phase 3

    Automate

    Enable agents for quoting, compliance and more! Standardize the workflows your team runs every day and scale across the organization. Get help building custom automations to solve time-consuming problems.

Stays inside your perimeter.

No data ever leaves your environment. Capuchin deploys entirely on-premise — documents, embeddings, queries, and the AI models all run inside your boundary, so you get frontier intelligence while staying ITAR and CMMC compliant.

  1. 01

    Entirely on-premise

    On-prem or in your private, with no external API calls. Documents, embeddings, queries, and the AI models themselves all run inside your environment — deployable to air-gapped and classified networks.

  2. 02

    Built for CMMC and ITAR compliance

    Because nothing ever crosses your boundary, Capuchin fits inside your existing CMMC and ITAR controls — no new cloud data flows to assess and no third-party processors touching controlled technical data.

  3. 03

    Government cloud support

    Capuchin supports Azure Government and AWS GovCloud (Bedrock) for access to OpenAI or Anthropic models inside an authorized boundary.

  4. 04

    Fully managed. U.S. persons only

    Every integration engineer who touches your live deployment is a U.S. person, working from the U.S and named in your engagement letter.
