What's inside
Your week is a pile of half finished threads. Test logs from three board revisions, a vendor quote to compare, a design review with comments in email, and a firmware bug you can only describe in words.
8 skills for hardware work
The prototype test analysis skill turns raw logs into trends, risks, and cost notes. The hardware upgrade advisor skill, the vendor selection skill, and the hardware selection skill cover the rest of your week.
22 prompts across 9 topics
Ready made prompts for explaining hardware concepts, drafting design documents, comparing components, debugging from a description, planning tests, reviewing schematics, and working with vendors and compliance teams.
3 small apps
The hardware requirements organizer keeps traceability from customer need to supplier constraint. The repairability documentation planner surfaces repair needs before launch. The modularity economics workbench tests whether modular design pays off.
12 Grok Bot agents
Specialist agents for embedded systems, Arm Cortex, firmware analysis, hardware security, firmware testing, test running, debugging, systematic debugging, scientific schematics, prototyping, and software architecture. Pick one when a problem needs a narrow expert.
Works in eight AIs
ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini, Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and Kimi. Install once and use the same skills wherever you already write.
Daily news and updates
Members get a live connection to Complete AI Training for daily AI news for hardware engineers, one new idea each day with the prompt to do it, and automatic skill updates.
A day with your plugin
This plugin drops into the AI you already use. Ask it to organize test data, compare vendors, or draft a repair note, and it answers like a colleague who knows hardware work. You keep your normal tools. The plugin just adds the hardware side.
- Morning
You paste yesterday's bench test logs into the prototype test analysis skill and ask for a comparison across board revisions. It flags two outliers and a temperature drift you missed.
- Late morning
A supplier sends a quote. You run the vendor research and evaluation skill to check their track record and risk, then ask the vendor selection skill for a short negotiation brief.
- Afternoon
A firmware bug only shows on one board. You describe the symptoms in the debug from a description prompt, and the Grok Bot firmware analyst agent suggests three things to check first.
- End of day
You open the hardware requirements organizer app to link a customer request to the part you chose and the supplier limit behind it, so tomorrow's design review has a clear trail.
Install it in your AI
Choose the AI you use. No technical knowledge needed: it's a few clicks and some copy and paste.

Questions
What is a plugin, and how do I install it without technical knowledge?
A plugin is a set of instructions and files that teach your AI new skills. You download it once, follow a short install guide, and it appears inside the AI you already use. No coding, no server setup.
Which AI does it work with?
ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini, Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and Kimi. You install it in the one your team already pays for, and your chats stay where they are.
What is the difference between the member download and the $49 standalone plugin?
Members download 2 plugins a day and get daily AI news, a new idea each day with the prompt, and automatic skill updates. The standalone plugin you buy once for $49 is the same plugin without those ongoing extras.
Is my data safe?
The plugin is instructions and files. It does not store your chats or send data anywhere on its own. Your AI provider handles your conversations under their normal privacy and security terms.
How many downloads do I get?
Members can download 2 plugins a day. That covers this hardware engineer plugin plus another one for a teammate or a different role, every day if you need it.
