IIT Madras Research Park-incubated startup Kochadai Technologies has launched MakeGPT, a tool that can help people build prototypes simply by using natural language prompts.
MakeGPT was officially unveiled by Dr. Palanivel Thiagarajan, Minister for Information Technology and Digital Services, Government of Tamil Nadu, during the ‘ZeroToOne: GenAI Product Day’ event.
The toolkit is accessible to non-technical users who can just describe the idea behind their Internet of Things (IoT) system.
The platform comprises of Natural Language-to-Hardware Interface for conversational project creation, Automated System Generation with component selection, Real-Time Design Iteration through dialogue-based design refinement and Educational Insight Mode to explain component functionality in context, a statement released said.
“Imagine telling an AI to ‘create a soil moisture monitoring system that sends alerts to my phone when plants need water’ and receiving a complete prototype with component lists, firmware code, and assembly instructions,” said Naveena Swamy, Founder of Kochadai Technology Solutions. “That’s the reality MakeGPT delivers today. We’re democratizing hardware innovation for everyone.”
