The Problem: Engineering Discovery is Too Slow. Every groundbreaking innovation—from fusion reactors to life-saving drugs—hinges on understanding how the physical world works. Yet, engineers spend agonizing weeks, even months, wrestling with complex simulations, preprocessing data, and manually tuning parameters just to answer one question. Many critical questions go unasked because the effort is too great.

Our Vision: Ask About the Physical World as Easily as You Use Language. Imagine a world where understanding the implications of a new design, material, or physical scenario is as instant as a search query. That’s the future Godela is building.

Introducing Godela: Your AI Copilot for Engineering. Godela is an AI-native platform that transforms your engineering questions into computable, physics-informed models—instantly.

  • Ask Anything: Pose complex questions in natural language or with your existing data.
  • Upload Your World: Integrate CAD files, experimental results, or existing simulation data.
  • Get Instant Insights: Receive actionable, simulation-quality models you can explore, refine, and iterate on immediately.

Instead of replacing simulations, Godela becomes their intelligent, adaptive home—blending diverse data sources with AI to provide insights that were previously out of reach or would take weeks to uncover.

Why We’re Building This: As engineers who’ve designed everything from chips and laptops to particle accelerators, we’ve lived the frustration of slow design-simulation loops. Inspired by how AI revolutionized access to information (like ChatGPT for language), we believe it’s time for the same leap in understanding the physical world.

Partner with Us: We're looking for forward-thinking engineering teams eager to break free from traditional simulation constraints. If you know engineers battling simulation bottlenecks, send them our way!

What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?

Engineers and scientists rely on simulations and physical testing to understand how the world works. Today, those tools are slow, expensive, and fragmented.

Running a single simulation can take hours to days. Building physical prototypes takes weeks to months. Every domain—from fluid dynamics to thermal modeling—requires different solvers, different experts, and perfect setups. This creates massive bottlenecks in innovation. We’re building AI that turns engineering questions into instant, physics-based models. No solvers. No bottlenecks.

What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?

The next wave of breakthroughs will come from AI that deeply understands physics, not just text.

We’re building Godela to give humanity the power to instantly model, explore, and invent across the physical world. Imagine being able to instantly test any idea, uncover hidden relationships, and accelerate discovery at the speed of thought.
