Built on Vector, Graph, & Agentic AI
VizSeek combines visual search, connected data, and agentic automation to help teams find files, extract information, compare parts, and move work forward faster.
Search CAD files, drawings, documents, images, and metadata using visual similarity and shared context across file types.
Link parts, drawings, suppliers, materials, revisions, and related records so teams can understand how technical data connects across systems.
Use AI agents to extract information, compare parts, summarize findings, support quoting, and help move technical work forward faster.
API-connected visual search
VizSeek can power visual search inside a customer-built CAD interface, search across connected systems and file repositories, then return reusable engineering data back into CAD.

VizSeek is an embedded technology layer that enhances your current systems.
Users search from the design environment they already use.
VizSeek reaches across PLM, ERP, PDM, SharePoint, PDFs, and folders.
Models, drawings, metadata, and records flow back into CAD.
Manufacturing use cases
VizSeek helps manufacturing teams find similar parts, drawings, and technical data faster across engineering, quoting, sourcing, ecommerce, MRO, and tooling workflows.
Visual search outcomes
Find files instantly, reduce costs, and accelerate business processes
by searching visually across your existing systems.
Search by image, shape, drawing, sketch, 3D model or text instead of relying on exact file names or metadata.
Surface existing designs, parts, and documents before teams recreate work from scratch.
Visual search improves relevance and helps teams find similar and exact matches faster.
Better retrieval supports engineering, quoting, sourcing, service, and aftermarket workflows.
Flexible deployment and integration
Deploy VizSeek in the way your environment requires, whether that means cloud delivery or on-premises deployment, then connect visual search across the systems you already use.
Deployment options
Cloud deployment
Managed delivery for teams that want faster rollout, lower infrastructure overhead, simpler updates, and easier scaling across locations and users.
