The Software Design Agent is an AI-powered assistant that helps software architects and developers build architecture and detailed design for embedded and POSIX-based systems in safety-critical industries like automotive, aerospace, medical, and defense.
- Accepts natural language, templates, and code snippets as input.
- Extracts functional and non-functional requirements using large language models (LLMs).
- Produces UML and SysML diagrams (e.g., system context, component, sequence diagrams).
- Suggests system structures, communication flows, and deployment models.
- Outputs are compatible with tools like PlantUML and Draw.io.
- Ensures compliance with ISO 26262, ISO 21434, ASPICE, DO-178C, and others.
- Applies design rule checks and static validations for safety and security.
- Enables back-and-forth design refinement.
- Tracks requirement-to-design traceability.
- Provides rationale for design choices.
- Works as a standalone tool, plugin/extension, or cloud service.
- Integrates with version control systems, IDEs, and CI/CD pipelines.
This agent bridges the gap between high-level requirements and implementation-ready designs—automating documentation, ensuring compliance, and accelerating development in complex, regulated domains.
