AI That Takes Admin Off Your Electrical Engineers
Engineering teams spend design hours on reports, test procedures and component research. 12² builds document templates and datasheet summaries in the team's environment, with engineer review.
Electrical Engineering Docs Assistant · From $3,500 + $199/mo, by team size · proposed estimate · It says it is an automated assistant whenever it talks to someone directly, and your team reviews what it drafts before it goes out.
Ai for electrical engineers: the short answer.
12² builds AI for manufacturers and engineering firms that takes routine work off their electrical engineers: drafting design and test-procedure documents, summarizing component datasheets and errata, and drafting change logs and routine test scripts. It runs inside the tools you already use. Engineers still design and review every document.

Where the hours go now.
Design and test-procedure documents
Engineering teams spend design hours on reports, test procedures and component research.
Component datasheets and errata
Hours go to reading and re-reading before the real work starts.
Bill-of-materials notes and change logs
Rebuilt from scratch each time, usually at the end of the day.
What it handles, and what it never does.
What it handles
- Design and test-procedure documentsIt drafts design and test-procedure documents from notes.
- Component datasheets and errataIt summarizes component datasheets and errata.
- Bill-of-materials notes and change logsIt drafts bill-of-materials notes and change logs.
- Routine test scriptsIt drafts routine test scripts for review.
- Hand-off to your teamAnything that needs a person goes to the right person, with the details attached.
What it never does
- Make up a price or a factIt works only from the documents, records and price lists you give it. Anything it can't find goes to your team.
- Promise a resultQuestions about outcomes go to the person who does the work.
- Pretend to be a personIt says it is an automated assistant whenever it talks to someone directly.
- Send anything on its ownDrafts wait for your team's approval before anything goes out.
Built and tested on your own work.
