Online engineering communities are rich with insights. Designers, administrators, and engineers around the world share their challenges, propose improvements, report issues, and exchange best practices on forums every day. But keeping track of these conversations across multiple platforms can be overwhelming and valuable insights are often lost in the noise.
Punditas AI solves this with its Discussions node, a dedicated feature that consolidates community knowledge from trusted forums into one easily searchable location.
A smart hub for community conversations
Every day, users contribute thousands of posts across forums related to engineering software such as:
- Creo Parametric
- Windchill
- ThingWorx
- Vuforia
- SolidWorks
- And many others
These discussions contain real-world experiences solutions to problems, workarounds, feature requests, user opinions, modeling strategies, and deep technical insights.
Instead of visiting each forum manually, Punditas AI brings them all together.
Aggregated from leading engineering communities
Punditas AI continuously collects discussions from major, reputable communities, including:
- PTC Community
- MCAD Central
- 3DCAD Forum
- PTC User Org
- Eng-Tips
- The CAD Forums
- GrabCAD Community
- Engineers Edge
- And additional industry sources
These platforms are home to professional engineers, CAD experts, administrators, and product specialists who share valuable, real-world knowledge daily.
With Punditas AI, all these discussions become accessible through one centralized node.
Powered by intelligent search and knowledge mapping
The Discussions node isn’t just a list of forum links, it’s an AI-driven discovery experience.
When users enter a topic, keyword, or phrase, Punditas AI’s Insights Engine:
