Some AI assembly required: This startup wants to make US manufacturing easier than following an Ikea manual
"You know that paper instruction book that tells you how to build something?"
"It turns out everything around us also needs assembly instructions."
"Some dude gets a CAD file over email, takes hundreds of screenshots manually, figures out what order to do the assembly, then takes all those screenshots and throws them together into a 100-page PowerPoint,"
"It's super manual, and super tedious."
BuildOS uses artificial intelligence to generate step-by-step assembly instructions and determine assembly order from CAD files, replacing a manual workflow of screenshots and PowerPoint assembly guides. The tool targets complex machinery manufacturing where existing documentation processes are time-consuming and error-prone. Dirac secured nearly $11 million in funding from Founders Fund and Coatue and announced a partnership with Siemens to deliver AI-generated build guides to industrial customers. Dirac was co-founded in 2023 by Fil Aronshtein and Peter Weiss and operates as an 18-person team. The company declined to disclose whether it uses a foundation model or a proprietary model.
