ContextClue
ContextClue turns scattered CAD files, ERP data, and documentation into knowledge graphs that understand engineering relationships. Get answers fast, cut rework, and keep projects on track.
What is ContextClue and what problems does it solve?
AI-powered digital brain for engineering teams
ContextClue is an AI-powered knowledge management platform specifically built for engineering teams. Think of it as creating a “digital brain” for your entire engineering ecosystem. We take all your scattered technical data – CAD files, ERP systems, documentation, maintenance records – and transform them into intelligent, connected knowledge graphs that understand engineering relationships, not just keywords.
Relationship understanding vs keyword matching
Traditional search finds documents that contain your keywords. ContextClue understands engineering relationships. When you search for a bearing, we don’t just find documents with “bearing” in them – we show you the pump it belongs to, the maintenance history, the supplier performance, similar bearings across your plant, and why that specific bearing was chosen in the first place. It’s the difference between finding information and understanding systems.
Engineering-specific vs general-purpose AI
Generic AI tools are trained on general internet content – they can write emails but they don’t understand that changing a bearing affects shaft alignment, or that “Class 150” in piping has specific pressure ratings. ContextClue is purpose-built for engineering complexity. We know that components exist in assemblies, assemblies form systems, and systems have interdependencies that must be tracked and managed.
Build vs. buy dilemma
Building an effective engineering AI from scratch is a massive undertaking – costly, complex, and full of hidden challenges. You’d need rare expertise spanning AI, knowledge graphs, engineering domains, data science, and software development, all working together to handle not only core functionality but endless edge cases.
This isn’t like clicking together a quick chatbot to brainstorm your next big idea – an industrial solution must be fully reliable, highly accurate, cost-effective, and uncompromising on data security. ContextClue delivers a fully developed, industry-tested engineering AI you can deploy in a fraction of the time.
And we don’t stop there – we manage every update, security patch, and model refinement so you can focus on engineering, not wrangling AI infrastructure.
Knowledge graphs map engineering connections
ContextClue uses something called knowledge graphs – think of it as creating a “map” of how everything in your engineering world connects. Instead of keeping information locked away in isolated files, we map relationships: this valve controls that pipeline, which feeds into this unit, powered by that motor, serviced by this team, with a warranty expiring next quarter.
Change the valve’s material specification, and our knowledge graph instantly shows you every connected component, process, and document that might be affected. It’s like having a living, breathing blueprint – not just of your assets, but of every relationship, dependency, and detail that keeps them running.
From search time to innovation time
When engineers spend hours searching for information, projects slow down and costs climb. The expertise your business relies on is already in your systems – buried in CAD files, scattered across ERP platforms, and hidden in email chains. ContextClue surfaces and connects that knowledge instantly, cutting delays, reducing rework, and accelerating delivery.
The result: faster project cycles, lower costs, and a stronger competitive edge.
Unified view without system replacement
Exactly what we built it for. ContextClue creates a unified view across all your engineering systems without replacing them. Your CAD data connects to ERP supplier information, which links to maintenance records, which ties back to original design rationale. All your systems finally work together instead of creating information silos.
Measurable ROI across engineering processes
Here’s what we typically see: 40% reduction in engineering search time, 50% faster troubleshooting, 30% reduction in engineering effort for complex projects, and 75% faster audit preparation.
One German automotive manufacturer cut virtual commissioning time by 40%, saving weeks on every project. The exact savings depend on your current pain points, but the patterns are consistent.

Integration without system disruption
ContextClue is designed to integrate with your existing systems, not replace them. Implementation typically requires moderate IT involvement – think SAP implementation complexity, not simple SaaS login. Most clients dedicate 2-3 people part-time for 2-3 months to get fully operational. We provide extensive support throughout the process.

Can we customize ContextClue?
Absolutely. ContextClue’s modular architecture means you can use it exactly how you need it – whether that’s the complete platform or just specific components. You can take individual parts of our three-engine system (Ingest, Retrieve, or Generate) to address specific workflow needs, create entirely custom user interfaces tailored to your teams, or use ContextClue purely as backend technology that powers your existing applications.
Our API allows you to build specialized interfaces for different user groups, create automated reporting systems, or integrate our functionality into mobile applications for field technicians. You can also use ContextClue as invisible infrastructure – your engineers continue using their familiar tools while ContextClue provides intelligent knowledge processing behind the scenes. The API provides full access to our core engines while maintaining security and access controls, so you get exactly the capabilities you need without unnecessary complexity.
Can ContextClue be used for non-engineering purposes?
Yes, while ContextClue is optimized for engineering complexity, its knowledge graph technology and document processing capabilities are valuable across many domains. Legal teams use it for contract analysis and regulatory compliance, finance departments leverage it for audit documentation and risk assessment, and HR organizations apply it to policy management and training materials. Any field that deals with complex, interconnected documentation can benefit from our approach.
Can ContextClue help with software code migration projects?
Yes, ContextClue excels at code migration because the mechanics are remarkably similar to engineering documentation challenges. Just as engineers need to understand component relationships and system dependencies, software migration requires mapping code dependencies, API connections, and system interactions. Our knowledge graphs reveal how different code modules, libraries, and systems connect, making migration planning more comprehensive and reducing the risk of breaking dependencies.
How does ContextClue understand software code relationships?
Large Language Models inherently understand code structure, syntax, and programming concepts better than traditional documentation analysis tools. ContextClue can parse codebases to identify function dependencies, module relationships, API calls, and data flow patterns. This creates knowledge graphs that show not just what code exists, but how it interconnects – crucial information for successful migration projects. The same relationship-mapping technology that tracks engineering components works equally well for tracking software dependencies.
How does ContextClue’s knowledge graph technology work in practice?
ContextClue transforms information from isolated documents into interconnected knowledge networks. Information is represented as nodes (entities) connected by labeled relationships, allowing for natural modeling of complex dependencies between components, systems, and documents. This enables semantic discovery where you can navigate technical information contextually, uncovering related documents, dependencies, and concepts through graph-based relationships rather than simple keyword matching.
Can ContextClue scale with our growing organization?
Yes, ContextClue is designed for enterprise scalability. The platform can seamlessly adapt to growing volumes and diversity of documents, users, and use cases. Our modular architecture allows you to start with specific capabilities and expand as needed, while our API-first design ensures integrations remain stable as you grow. Whether you’re processing thousands or millions of documents, ContextClue maintains performance while preserving the rich contextual relationships that make the platform valuable.
