He holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and completed postdoctoral research at MIT as a Fulbright fellow. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and former AI researcher and Mechanical Engineer in an elite military intelligence, Maor leads Leo AI's mission to transform how engineering teams design better products faster.

BOTTOM LINE

Engineers shouldn't spend half their day searching for parts that already exist in their own systems. Leo's plain language part search closes the gap between what's in your PLM and what your engineers can actually find — in minutes, not days.

Every hour saved on part search is an hour available for actual design work.

Imagine finding the exact part you need-spring, bearing, or bracket-across your PLM and vendor catalogs in just minutes. No more wasted hours scrolling through folders or flipping through engineering handbooks.


That’s the reality with the latest update from Leo AI, designed for engineers, by engineers.

Why It Matters


Engineers face a daily struggle: calculations spread across Excel sheets, formulas buried in PDFs, and hours lost searching for the right part in PLM systems or supplier catalogs. With Leo, this is no longer your reality.

IN PRACTICE

What Engineers Are Saying

"The connection to our PDM and using that as a data source is legit the best thing ever. I found three viable bracket options fitting my exact envelope constraints — in minutes, not days."

— eytan s., R&D Engineer

What’s New in Leo AI: The Engineer’s Dream Tool


1. Parts Search Reimagined

You can now:

  • Tell Leo what you need (e.g., spring, bracket, bearing)

  • Instantly get results from PLM systems and vendor catalogs, side by side

  • View vendor parts in gray and your organization’s in blue

2. Trusted Engineering Formulas-With a Twist

  • Get formulas from trusted handbooks

  • Linked directly to the exact page

  • Transparent calculation-code is visible and exportable to Excel

Save Time, Reduce Errors, Increase Confidence

Engineers using Leo AI report:

  • Saving up to 5 hours per week per engineer

  • Increasing part reuse by 34%

  • Reducing design mistakes by 32%

This update isn’t just about speed-it’s about getting the right part, the first time, and unlocking the full value of your engineering knowledge.
