Show HN: Using generative AI for real world engineering analysis

Hi HN!

Would love to share something that has been over a year in the making.

We were originally building an environment to conduct engineering / scientific analysis in the cloud (lambda compute w/ visual outputs for figures and what not).

Design intent was to enable mechanical / electrical engineering teams with basic programming skills (2-3 courses) to harness SW better. I came from a SW background before working in HWE at Apple for a number of years, and saw just how many things people were doing that could be automated if non-SWEs just knew how to set up a CRON or trigger based job (or even install Python!).

We experimented with adding Codex to the product, and the result has turned out to be pretty remarkable.

Since we launched on LinkedIn 2w ago, we’ve been adding new users like crazy.

People are using the product like a graphing calculator on steroids. Like if Matlab meets the team collaborative aspect of Figma. Others are ditching their TI-84s and Excel spreadsheets which they were using for multi-step math to Dystr instead.

Would absolutely love feedback! Please do forward either here, or emailing us (team@ root domain).

Also! Desktop only for now; will release mobile compatibility when development resources allow!
