AI -Augmented Architecture Authoring Inside
Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect

Kernaro Assist is an intelligent add-in from Sparx Systems that brings AI-powered capabilities directly into your modeling environment. Analyze, create, modify, and govern architecture models using natural language without leaving EA.

What Makes Kernaro Assist Different

Unlike standalone AI tools that only analyze models, Kernaro Assist actively participates in architecture authoring and lifecycle management within Enterprise Architect. It understands modeling intent, works directly on EA content, and enforces consistency aligned with your standards.

Kernaro Assist is not just an analysis tool.
It is a true co-pilot for enterprise architects.

you can simply ask:

  • Which applications support customer onboarding?
  • Create a capability map for CRM.
  • Validate naming conventions across the repository.

Kernaro Assist understands context and acts directly on your model with precision.

Why Use Kernaro Assist?

Designed for architects and modelers who work directly within Enterprise Architect, Kernaro Assist enhances productivity while safeguarding architectural integrity and governance. It recognizes your model context and operates in accordance with your established modeling standards.

Kernaro Assist understands your model context

Fully aligned with your modeling standards

Accelerate diagram and model creation

Enforce validation and governance rules

Improve traceability and impact awareness

Key Features & Capabilities

Core Modeling

Create, modify, and query enterprise architecture elements directly within Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect using natural language. Kernaro Assist works on live repositories, helping architects author and evolve models faster while maintaining structural integrity, MDG compliance, and governance controls.
