Technical Discovery & Engineering
Find Critical Technical Specs in Seconds, Not Hours
AI-powered engineering document search that finds precise specifications across CAD files, datasheets, and unstructured technical content.
End the Endless Search for Specs and Test Results
Our engineering document search AI and technical discovery platform understands your unique technical content, from engineering specifications to CAD metadata to component datasheets. fifthelement’s AI for engineering teams finds the right spec, test result, or design decision instantly, eliminating the 20-30% of time engineers waste searching for technical information.
- Dramatically reduced rework and engineering downtime
- Faster troubleshooting and design iteration
- Higher data reuse across product teams
Technical Deep-Search
Search CAD files by specifications and find technical documentation with understanding of engineering terminology, units, tolerances, and relationships. Our technical specification search finds the right information instantly.

Use Case
Material Science Company
A publicly traded advanced materials company deployed fifthelement agents for technical discovery across their engineering repositories.
Overview:
Before fifthelement, engineers spent 20-30% of their time searching for technical information, or worse, proceeding without it and creating rework. Now, they find critical specs instantly, reference previous design decisions, and avoid compatibility issues before they become costly problems.
Results
- Search time reduced from hours to seconds
- Project delays from missing specs eliminated
- Rework costs decreased significantly
- New engineer productivity improved 60% faster
What Makes Us Different
Built for Engineering Content
Our ingestion technology handles CAD metadata, technical drawings, specification tables, and engineering terminology, not just text documents.
Understands Technical Context
Searches understand relationships between materials, tolerances, compatibility requirements, and design constraints.
Preserves Institutional Knowledge
Captures design rationale and historical decisions before expert engineers retire.
Fast Time to Value
Engineers see findability improvements in weeks. Project delays decrease immediately.
