Echo · Semantic Search

Find any part instantly across your vault

Echo understands the geometry and intent of every component in your library, so engineers can find and reuse existing parts instead of remaking them.

— THE PROBLEM · 01

Most engineering libraries are full of parts nobody can find

And when engineers can't quickly find an existing component, they often just remake it.

Duplicate work gets baked into the BOM.
Sourcing teams request quotes for parts you already qualified.
Suppliers juggle near-identical SKUs.
COGS climb quietly, revision after revision.

Echo ends the duplication by understanding the actual geometry and intent of every part in your vault.

WHAT HAPPENS WITHOUT ECHO The hidden cost of unfindable parts 01 Duplicate parts created across teams 02 Unnecessary sourcing work on known items 03 Extra supplier quotes for similar geometry 04 Fragmented BOMs with near-identical SKUs 05 Rising COGS with every revision cycle

Three ways Echo finds
what already exists.

Echo reads your vault the way an experienced engineer would - part numbers, descriptions, and the geometry itself. Ask for what you need, any way you know it.

String Search

Search using keywords, in addition to  part numbers,  descriptions, or filenames across your entire engineering library - fuzzy-matched and ranked instantly

----------------------
Find your part in seconds

Find Similar Parts

Instantly identify existing parts that are geometrically or contextually similar - even when metadata is missing, wrong, or inconsistent

----------------------
3.1x fewer duplicate parts

Auto Labeling

Automatically classify and tag parts by feature, family, and function so engineers can actually find and reuse them later

----------------------
0 manual tagging required

— WORKFLOW · 03

Stop remaking parts that already exist.

Echo plugs into your existing engineering stack through APIs. Search from the web, your CAD toolbar, or the BOM editor. Results surface the part, its revisions, and where it's already used.

Search by anything you remember

Part numbers, free-text descriptions, filenames, or keywords — Echo searches every field of every revision in your vault.

Find parts that look like yours

Drop in a STEP file or select a body. Echo compares geometry against your whole vault and surfaces candidates you can reuse.

Auto-labeled, so future you can find it

Echo classifies every part it sees - function, family, manufacturing process, material.
New uploads inherit the same taxonomy your vault already uses, so nothing gets lost again.

“Every engineer on our team had their own filing system, and half the vault was effectively invisible. Echo found 140+ duplicate parts in the first week - and flagged another 500+ as near-identical. That's real money coming back to the BOM.”
