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.
About Kernaro Assist
Kernaro Assist transforms Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect into an intelligent modeling workspace. Ask questions about your architecture, create and update elements, generate diagrams, and validate standards, all without leaving the tool. It works directly on live models, respects EA structures and MDGs, and aligns seamlessly with your existing standards and governance processes.
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
Model Chat
Explore your EA repository using natural language. Retrieve structured, context-aware answers without writing complex queries.
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.
Diagram and Model Analysis
Explore models, diagrams, and repository structures using natural language. Kernaro Assist understands relationships, dependencies, and hierarchies, delivering accurate, context-aware insights.
Event-Driven Architecture Agents
Kernaro Assist enables you to create intelligent agents that can be mapped to Enterprise Architect Broadcast Events. These agents monitor model activities such as element creation, updates, deletions, and diagram modifications, automatically triggering predefined actions.
Governance and Validation
Strengthen architecture governance by validating models against defined standards, rules, and best practices. Kernaro Assist identifies inconsistencies, missing relationships, naming issues, and structural deviations, enabling teams to maintain high model quality at scale.
Unlock the full power of Kernaro Assist with Kernaro AI Hub
Kernaro Assist can be used as a standalone AI add-in for Enterprise Architect, but its full enterprise value is unlocked when connected with Kernaro AI Hub. Kernaro Assist Basic is ideal for individual use, while Kernaro Assist Advanced is designed for teams that need governed access, shared agents, centralized control, and compliance visibility.
Start locally with AI-assisted modeling
