Tandem includes an AI assistant powered by Claude that can search, create, and update data across your program. Open the chat panel from the sidebar to start a conversation.

​
Chat interface

The chat panel supports multi-turn conversations. The agent remembers context within a conversation, so you can ask follow-up questions without repeating yourself. Start a new conversation or continue a previous one from the conversations list.

​
What the agent can do

The agent has access to tools that let it interact with your program data:
CategoryExamples
SearchFind nodes, requirements, or documents by description
NodesCreate, update, list, or delete nodes in the architecture tree
RequirementsCreate, update, list, or delete requirements across tables
AttributesRead and update attribute values on nodes
AnnotationsCreate annotations on 3D models or drawings
DFM analysisAnalyze a component for manufacturability issues

​
Example prompts

Here are some things you can ask: 
What are all the subsystems in this program?

Create a requirement for thermal resistance under 50°C/W

Search for anything related to battery mounting

Run a DFM analysis on the chassis component

What attributes are set on the power supply node?

​
DFM analysis

Ask the agent to run a Design for Manufacturing analysis on any component with a CAD file. The agent inspects the model and creates annotations for potential issues:
  • Wall thickness concerns
  • Material suitability
  • Geometric complexity
  • Assembly part count
Each finding is attached as an annotation with a priority level so your team can review and address them. The agent uses semantic search powered by vector embeddings to find relevant data even when your query doesn’t match exact keywords. It searches across nodes, requirements, documents, and artifact metadata. See Search for more on how search works.
