The company's goal is to build what it calls an 'artificial general engineer', an AI system capable of helping design and manufacture complex physical products. From jet engines and medical devices to skyscrapers and spacecraft, Prometheus aims to bring artificial intelligence into the heart of engineering and industrial innovation.

Prometheus is a new AI startup co-founded by Bezos and Bajaj, a former Google Life Sciences executive and biotechnology entrepreneur.

Unlike many AI companies focused on digital assistants and content generation, Prometheus is targeting the physical world.

The company wants to develop an 'artificial general engineer', or AGE, capable of assisting with every stage of product development. That includes design, testing, manufacturing and optimisation of highly complex systems.

The vision is to create AI that understands not only information but also the real-world constraints of physics, materials, production processes and engineering requirements.
