Nexus AI Standards knowledge, right in your AI workflow.

A service that brings standards knowledge into your AI applications. Chatbots and AI agents use Nexus AI to access standards content in a targeted way and back their answers with the exact clause in the standard.

Retrieval-augmented generation: before a language model answers, it retrieves suitable content from a reliable source and bases its answer on it. So it answers on the basis of the retrieved text of the standard, not from its training knowledge.

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI applications use external data sources and tools at runtime, a kind of USB-C port for AI. Nexus AI provides an MCP server; your AI assistant recognises the available tools by itself.

General-purpose AI models answer from their training knowledge. With standards, this quickly leads to invented clause numbers or outdated limit values, and where a statement comes from cannot be verified. With Nexus AI, the current text of the standard is in context.

With very long texts, language models make far more reliable use of the beginning and end than of the middle (‘lost in the middle’). The one decisive line is easily missed. Nexus AI therefore loads only the sections, tables and definitions that are relevant to your question.

For working with standards in development and engineering, requirements engineering, test and validation, and quality and compliance. Typical uses:

• Engineering and development assistance with access to standards content
• Company chatbot for questions about standards content in natural language
• Support for writing code and validating implementations
• Requirements engineering: user stories and acceptance criteria
• Deriving test cases and test case design

Yes, with the multi-step standards analysis. It breaks your question down, searches for the relevant clauses, follows the normative references and backs every statement. You receive relevant requirements, points for your own review and open questions, but deliberately no blanket yes or no.

With AI applications that support MCP, for example GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code, Claude Code or Codex. You connect your own agents and in-house AI platforms via MCP or the REST interface.

You connect Nexus AI to your AI application; you do not need programming skills for this. We provide step-by-step instructions. For connecting your own AI platforms, some support from your IT team is advisable.

Currently IEC standards in English; we agree the list of standards for your use case with you. You can also ask your questions in German. The search finds the right passages most reliably with the English technical terminology of the standard.

Yes, specifically via their source reference. This matters because tables often contain the actual limit values, and defined terms in standards are often narrower than in everyday language. For figures, Nexus AI provides the caption, legend and notes as text.

Every statement is backed by its exact source, so you can check it against the original. Only text actually loaded from the standard is quoted, no search hits and no tables of contents. In the standards analysis, a validation step additionally checks whether all quoted passages were actually loaded.

The risk drops significantly because answers are based on the loaded text of the standard rather than on training knowledge. If something cannot be backed up, the system says so instead of guessing. Errors can never be ruled out completely with AI; that is why every statement can be checked against its source.

No. The standards content is retrieved specifically for each request. The language model of your choice formulates the answer; the terms of your AI provider apply to this. Only the multi-step standards analysis uses a language model provided by VDE SIS.

All Nexus AI tools are read-only: nothing can be added, changed or deleted via the interface. Only users whose account has been enabled for it can use Nexus AI.

No. Nexus AI provides the technical basis faster and with references. Assessment and decision remain with qualified experts. For conformity questions, the result is advisory input, not an approval and not a certification.

We are happy to show you Nexus AI with your own use case. Just write to us: vertrieb@vde-sis.de.

No. The two channels can be used independently of each other and are based on the same SMART Standards. The ReqIF access brings standards into your requirements management system as structured requirements; Nexus AI makes them usable in your AI applications.

We agree scope, selection of standards and connection with you individually. Our sales team will send you a quote: vertrieb@vde-sis.de.
