For the dashboard materials research that you mentioned during the manufacturing meeting today at 11AM, what outcome matters most to you - best balance of cost and premium feel or something else like sustainability, weight reduction or matching a competitor's quality level?
It needs to be a good balance of cost and still feel premium.
Okay, let me capture that and we'll tackle the last detail.
Emails, Product Development, Planning, Research.
Handled before you ask.
Complete CAD revision to relocate locating feature by approximately 1mm and open up lead-in on clip
Send updated STEP file to manufacturing for assembly sequence simulation
Print revised geometry for validation before production release
Schedule pilot build for early next week to compare installation time against 45-second target
Send updated STEP file to manufacturing for assembly sequence simulation
Hi [Manufacturing Team Contact],
I've completed the CAD revision for the door module assembly addressing the installation issues from yesterday's pilot build. The key changes include:
- Locating feature repositioned approximately 1mm - Clip lead-in geometry opened up to increase clearance - Added wiring harness clip 50mm lower (existing part from another program)
The updated STEP file is attached for your assembly sequence simulation. These changes should improve the DO component installation and bring cycle time back under our 45-second target.
Please let me know if you need any additional information or have questions about the geometry changes. We're planning the next pilot build for early next week to validate these improvements.
Best regards, Chris
AI that learns critical manufacturing decisions over time.
Manufacturing knowledge lives in conversations — supplier meetings, shop floor exchanges, design reviews and people's heads. Celestral listens in, capturing the what, where and how from meetings, standups and voice interviews into a shared context layer, so nothing said gets lost.

Reads the captured context and automatically surfaces the pending actions hiding in your build: DFM change requests to raise, supplier follow up emails to send, BOM and spec updates to make, ECOs to process and priorities to shift. Nothing stalls because everyone forgot the next step.
Plugs into the tools your team already runs on and uses the captured context to draft supplier emails, update spec sheets and trackers, and prepare documentation. It generates tailored prompts for AI agents on its own, so the work gets done without any manual prompt engineering.
Add your coworkers to a project and everyone contributes — your voice notes, their supplier calls, the whole team's meetings and conversations all feed the same shared context. Celestral pools it into a collective understanding of how your team actually makes decisions, not just any one person.
See how Celestral AI can transform industries such as manufacturing.
"Spreadsheets and emails are the bane of my existence. If a hardware company contacts a manufacturer, the DFM (Design for Manufacturability) process often involves making changes to the product. Using AI to automate different aspects of this process is highly needed."
"Email is like a compost pile of information. At the prototyping stage, the needs of a hardware company are so broad that we exchange endless emails with manufacturers. We have to maintain a 'living document' to track the status of these communications."
"Customers in the automotive space have very long product development lifecycles because of very high volume. It takes 2-4 years to go from design to production. Everything has to be very custom since components vary based on the car."
