Asks before assuming
When a description is ambiguous, Adam asks a clarifying question rather than silently inventing structure. When it does assume, it says so.
Meet Adam
The conversational AI in Prometheus SE has a name, and it is not a mascot. Adam co-models on the canvas, reads your documents, reasons about your requirements, and helps isolate faults on units already in the field.
The name
Adam is the namer of things — the first act of taxonomy and classification. For an AI whose job is helping engineers name, organize and relate the elements of a system, the name is deliberate. It also sets the tone: Adam is a colleague, not an oracle.
“Adam flagged an unconnected interface on the actuator.”
How you will hear about Adam inside the product — by name, like a colleague.
How it behaves
An AI that quietly guesses at your system architecture is worse than no AI at all. Every behavior below exists to make Adam's output something you can actually check.
When a description is ambiguous, Adam asks a clarifying question rather than silently inventing structure. When it does assume, it says so.
Extracted and inferred elements carry a confidence rating. You see how sure Adam is before anything is committed to your model.
Adam proposes; you dispose. Extraction, inference and merge all pass through a review step you control.
Adam distinguishes what it read in your documents from what it inferred from general engineering knowledge — and it will not present the second as the first.
In practice
An illustrative exchange on a generic piece of equipment. Note what Adam does when it has to assume something — and what it does with the loose end it just created.
Add a power supply between the controller and the actuator.
Added. I gave it a control input from the Controller Unit and a power output to the Actuator Unit. I assumed it draws from the same source as the controller — confirm or point me at the right one.
It's on a separate battery pack, not the main supply.
Updated. That leaves the Controller Unit with an unconnected power input — do you want me to trace that back to the main supply, or is it out of scope for this model?
Illustrative of the interaction model, not a transcript.
Adam is available to every engineer in the private beta.
