Digital Thread, a capability of Samya Nexus AI, traces a single requirement, issue, or test across every connected system — Jira, Jama, and beyond — so you always see its full lifecycle in one place, in plain language.
A single requirement can touch a dozen systems over its lifetime. Reconstructing its full history today means opening each of those tools and piecing the story together by hand — a problem that gets sharper wherever traceability needs are high, engineering change is constant, and compliance is non-negotiable.
Requirements, issues, and test cases each live in their own tool, with no single view that ties them together.
Answering "what's the status of this requirement, end to end?" can mean logging into several platforms and re-running the same search in each.
Connecting the dots across systems is left to whoever asked the question — slow, repetitive, and easy to get wrong.
Digital Thread runs on Nexus AI's two-stage engine — one layer that thinks, one layer that acts.
Type naturally — "Show me all requirements related to cabin pressure and their linked issues" or "What's the current status of the authentication workflow?" No special syntax, no query language required.
Nexus AI's planner interprets your intent and decides which connected systems to search and in what order — so you never need to know where the data actually lives.
Each connected tool is queried automatically. Results from earlier steps are fed into later ones, so you get connected, contextual answers — and if one stage is slow or unavailable, the rest of the workflow keeps running and tells you exactly what was missed.
Instead of raw dumps from separate tools, you get one coherent, traceable response that threads together information across your connected systems — your Digital Thread, assembled automatically.
Digital Thread gives you visibility across PLM, QMS, ALM, and release evidence — it's not a replacement for the systems you already run, just the missing connective layer between them.
Ask questions the way you'd ask a colleague. The AI interprets intent — not just keywords — and routes your query to the right systems.
Results from one tool automatically inform searches in the next — for example, surfacing issues linked to a specific requirement in a single query.
Trace the full lifecycle of a requirement or issue across every connected system — assembled automatically, with full traceability.
If one system is slow or unavailable, Digital Thread continues working with what's available and clearly flags what could not be retrieved — no silent failures.
Every query can be inspected step-by-step — what was searched, what was found, and how results were combined — giving your team complete execution transparency.
Build and edit multi-stage workflows visually — chain connectors together, map fields between systems, and adjust the pipeline as your tool landscape changes.
Digital Thread works with your existing enterprise stack — no rip-and-replace, no migration projects. Live connectors today, with a broad set of product, quality, test, source-control, and operations systems on the roadmap. Rollout order adapts to how your team already works — some start with product definition, others start with test and source control.
Digital Thread inherits the full Nexus AI roadmap, plus capability-specific improvements below.
One PLM connector, Jira, TestRail, one repository or CI system, and one ERP or MES read-only connector for release context — positioned as digital-thread visibility across your existing PLM, QMS, and ALM systems, not a replacement for any of them.
See the full Digital Thread visually — a living graph that maps how requirements connect to issues, tests, and deployments.
The AI Planner will learn from past queries and results, improving routing accuracy and search quality over time.
Results ranked by relevance, recency, and business impact — not just keyword match.
Digital Thread runs entirely within your own environment — on-premises or in your private cloud. No data is sent to external AI providers or third-party servers, so your requirements, issues, and records stay exactly where you need them to.
