Built for how engineering
actually works
Engineering programs now involve more competing requirements and interacting variables than conventional tools were built for, leaving better choices out of reach. Secondmind is Engineering AI software that puts engineers back in control of that complexity.
Why companies choose Secondmind
Secondmind is purpose-built for high-stakes, safety-critical engineering decisions.
Other AI tools
Secondmind
A black box AI tool that cannot explain what's driving the result.
Explainable by design — engineers can interrogate every result, understand which variables shaped it and see where requirements force a trade-off, before committing.
Requires vast amounts of data to be useful — making programs slow and expensive.
Requires minimal data to reach a reliable result — directing each run to where it adds the most value.
Sparse, noisy data and unverifiable answers make models unreliable — or confidently wrong.
Separates true system behaviour from noise and quantifies uncertainty, so engineers know exactly what to trust and where evidence is still needed.
Cannot adapt without retraining — leading to costly rework when requirements change.
Reasons under the real system constraints, so the impact of requirement changes is visible immediately — no restarting from scratch.

Core capabilities
Secondmind is powered by an advanced machine learning system, built on three core technical capabilities — drawn on as needed to solve the engineering decision at hand.
Automated
DoE
Secondmind automates the Design of Experiments (DoE) — deciding what to run next, at every iteration. Engineers set the objective; Secondmind reaches a reliable result in a fraction of the runs a fixed plan would need.
High-precision,
uncertainty-aware modeling
Secondmind builds accurate, uncertainty-aware surrogate models. Precision is concentrated where it matters most, with confidence quantified in every result.
Outputs engineers can interrogate
Engineers see which parameters drive performance, and where requirements trade off, across every dimension at once. Results are there to explore and question — not a black box to accept as-is.

How it works
Our creative team of practical machine learning experts and software engineers have developed Secondmind Active Learning, the technology at the heart of our cloud-native software products.
Secondmind Active Learning is an advanced machine learning system that intuitively selects only the most important data needed to meet the optimization objective of the engineer.
By combining a robust toolbox of purpose-built machine learning algorithms with an intelligently automated process for designing and learning from data-efficient experiments, Secondmind Active Learning helps engineers enhance exploration, reduce development time and overhead, and achieve better results for the most complex engineering design or performance challenges.
Proven impact in real engineering programs
Delivers faster time-to-market, lower development costs, and better-performing results across the V-cycle.
Faster time-to-market
85%
reduction in overall calibration time.
Lower development costs
90%
reduction in CAE simulation runs.
Better quality and performance
$27
per-unit reduction in bill-of-materials cost.
Enterprise-ready
Flexible, easy integration
Enhances the toolchain already in place, rather than replacing it. Connects via API or SDK for full automation, or a code-free option where that’s preferred — no new infrastructure required.
Cloud-native, built to scale
Scales on-demand as teams and programs grow. Distributed teams access the same environment from anywhere, with nothing to install and no infrastructure to manage or upgrade.
Certified and IP protection
ISO 27001 certified, with a dedicated secure tenant per customer and the option to normalize proprietary data before it leaves customer servers. Access is managed directly by each organization, without relying on Secondmind support.

Design Space Exploration
Map the full boundary of feasible designs and commit to a direction with confidence - using a fraction of the simulations conventional approaches require.
Understand the full picture before committing
Develop in parallel, integrate with confidence.
Change a requirement - see the impact instantly
Calibration
Build accurate, production-ready calibration maps in significantly fewer tests - freeing test cells and engineers for higher-value work.
Know the performance ceiling so any trade-off is a choice, not a guess.
See why feasibility is low, and decide whether to relax a constraint - no new tests needed.
Know exactly when to stop testing.
