Capuchin
Your company knowledge. Ready for automation.
Capuchin is an on-premises knowledge platform that turns designs, test data, ERP records, and documents into a searchable, ontology-based memory. It addresses the problem of institutional knowledge scattered across engineering and business systems, enabling AI tools and automations to run entirely within an organization's own infrastructure, inside an ITAR / CMMC boundary.
The platform indexes PDM and PLM data, drawings, BOMs, revisions, and metadata through native connectors for SolidWorks PDM, Windchill, Microsoft 365, network drives, Teams, Outlook, and ERP systems such as SAP, Global Shop, and Epicor, plus engineering tools like CST and FEMAP. Custom connectors are available for internal tools. Capuchin provides permission sync inherited from source systems, revision awareness, and engineering-aware normalization. Capabilities include quoting and proposals, contract compliance checking, onboarding and knowledge transfer, and source-cited search across organizational knowledge. It deploys on-premises or in a private cloud with no external API calls, supports air-gapped and classified networks, and offers government cloud support through Azure Government and AWS GovCloud (Bedrock) for OpenAI or Anthropic models.
Capuchin is aimed at organizations that engineer and manufacture, serving engineers, proposal writers, and project managers. Deployment is fully managed, with integration engineers who are U.S. persons working from the U.S. and named in the engagement letter.
