Our mission
HIIE exists to turn hardware ideas into operating products. We want the path from a rough concept to something real and shippable to feel less like assembling a dozen disconnected tools and more like a single conversation. AI does the heavy lifting; you stay in the driver's seat.
What HIIE does
HIIE is an AI workflow operating system. At its center is Camelia, a copilot that coordinates a team of specialist sub-agents so you can move an idea forward without leaving the platform. Together they help you with:
- Documents — specs, plans, and the writing a real product needs.
- Design and CAD — images, renderings, and manufacturable 3D models.
- Sourcing — finding the parts and partners to build with.
- Flows — multi-agent automations that run the repetitive work for you.
- Payments — turning your product into something you can actually sell.
Each project lives in its own encrypted environment. Your data is encrypted at rest with server-only keys, scoped to your account, and never used to train third-party models or sold to anyone.
Who we are
HIIE is built by Arthur Labs, Inc., a Wyoming C-Corp based in Omaha, Nebraska. We're a small team focused on making hardware creation accessible to the people with the ideas, not just the people with the tooling.
Frequently asked questions
What is HIIE?
HIIE (Hardware Innovation Intelligence Engine) is an AI workflow operating system by Arthur Labs that turns a hardware idea into an operating business. An AI copilot named Camelia coordinates specialist sub-agents across documents, design and CAD, sourcing, multi-agent automation flows, and payments — each project in its own encrypted environment.
Is the free tier really free?
Yes. Bring your own API keys (OpenRouter, Composio) and the full engine is free — no trial clock, no feature wall. Your keys are encrypted at rest, used only server-side, and never returned to the browser. Paid plans (from $20/mo) add managed inference credits so you don't need your own keys, plus more storage and capacity.
What can Camelia do?
Camelia is the lead copilot on every account. She interprets your request, picks the right tools and sub-agents, and produces real outputs: product specs and business documents, images and renderings, manufacturable 3D CAD models, sourcing research, and multi-step automation flows. You review and approve the actions that matter.
How does CAD generation work?
Describe the part in plain language and HIIE generates manufacturable 3D geometry. Two engines run behind the scenes: a self-hosted build123d engine (fast, included) and Zoo.dev's premium text-to-CAD engine for higher-fidelity work. Outputs are real model files you can download, review, and send to manufacturing — always reviewed by you before use.
Who makes HIIE?
HIIE is built by Arthur Labs, Inc., a Wyoming C-Corp headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska — a small team focused on making hardware creation accessible to the people with the ideas, not just the people with the tooling. Contact: [email protected].
Who is HIIE for?
Hardware inventors, makers, and small teams who have an idea (or a product to fix or upgrade) but not a full engineering and business team. If you can describe what you want to build, HIIE supplies the research, design, CAD, BOM, feasibility, and go-to-market work a team would.
