I am a structural engineer turned developer / AI enthusiast. I am developing a platform that can build structures via prompt through agentic AI. The goal is for companies to use this in the same way that software companies use cursor. It is a platform for AI to implement its knowledge of mathematics and engineering coupled with our existing examples and their own IP.

This could allow us to design space vehicles in months instead of years and allow the AI to use previous vehicles as guides and improve upon those designs or change them to meet new requirements.

I am going to be looking for funding. I haven't had any success in that area to date. Just throwing it out there.
