Nomic CEO Andriy Mulyar says the company has rebuilt its tech and business from scratch over the past year to build the 'autonomous physical engineer'.
- First revealed use case: Nomic helps global engineering consultancy Arcadis automate engineering reviews
- Mulyar argues that as AI speeds up production, the bottleneck becomes "the mental bandwidth of senior engineering staff's ability to review things" — accepting responsibility remains human
- Arcadis global AI enablement director Freek Matheij says AI's next bottleneck is the engineer's desk
The piece signals Nomic, formerly known for embeddings/Atlas, pivoting to agentic applications in vertical engineering industries.
