Godela provides AI-powered physics intelligence that learns the laws of the physical world to predict and optimize real-world systems. It enables users to train physics-constrained models from their data, query what-if scenarios, and optimize configurations with solver-level accuracy in seconds.

Godela trains physics-constrained models from a user’s data (e.g., simulations and measurements), then supports rapid inference to answer what-if questions (changing airflow, geometry, materials) and optimize configurations to achieve desired outcomes. The workflow includes uploading data, training a physics-aware model, performing exploratory queries, and running optimizations that evaluate thousands of configurations to converge on optimal behavior, with results provided in seconds instead of days.

Who it’s for: Engineers and researchers who design or operate physical systems that involve thermals, electronics cooling, aerodynamics, electromagnetics, and structural analysis; teams needing fast, physics-accurate predictions from existing data without building new hardware.

Features
  • Train physics-constrained models from existing data
  • What-if exploration for airflow, geometry, and materials
  • Solver-level accuracy in seconds
  • Optimize configurations across multiple parameters
  • Query and visualize system-wide behavior
  • Build Your Own models from any physical system

YC backing mentioned; mentions pilot program and team with academia connections, indicating early traction and fundraising signals
