Steel Mechanical AI Engineer

An AI-powered chat assistant built for mechanical engineers working in steel manufacturing. It puts a senior-level engineering expert in your browser, available on demand.

What it does:

• You type a question — anything from steel grade selection to welding procedures to pressure vessel calculations — and get a detailed, technically accurate answer streamed back in real time
• Responses are formatted with markdown: headers, bullet lists, code blocks for formulas, and structured breakdowns for complex topics
• Every conversation is saved to a history sidebar so you can revisit prior analyses
• Four built-in starter prompts get you going immediately (ASTM grades, heat treatment, welding, pressure vessel design)

The AI persona — Dr. Marcus Steele:
Configured with a detailed system prompt that covers 25+ years of expertise across steel grades (ASTM, AISI, DIN, EN), heat treatment (annealing, quenching, tempering, carburizing), welding processes (SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, SAW), structural design (ASME VIII, AISC), corrosion, NDT, and failure analysis. It answers with real numbers and standards — not vague generalities.
