Build on Brain
Drop a Python file into a folder. The AI agent uses it as a tool. No vendor, no licenses, no committees. Siemens, Rockwell, Beckhoff — none of them have this.
Real silicon
Lattice FPGA for deterministic I/O. CompuLab SBC-IOT-iMX8Plus for the control plane. NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super for AI inference. No Raspberry Pi behind a marketing curtain — every board is schematic, layout, and BOM owned by us.
brain_sdk
Machine builders create domain-specific tools in Python. The AI agent uses plugin tools exactly like built-in tools. Sandboxed subprocess execution. 30-second timeout. Tier-capped. Tag-whitelist-restricted.
