An AI Built for Test
Nigel is unlike traditional AI solutions. It is specifically designed for test and measurement applications, combining advanced testing expertise with seamless integration into NI software.
Nigel Is Optimized for Test
Nigel AI is powered by the latest industry-leading models and strengthened by NI’s 50 years of experience in test and measurement. By leveraging leading AI technologies, Nigel continuously benefits from rapid advancements in the field, eliminating the need to choose between innovation and reliability.
Nigel has been trained on test methodologies, test system architecture, and data analysis practices, providing trusted guidance to help move your projects forward. Unlike general-purpose AI tools, Nigel delivers highly relevant technical responses for test and measurement challenges because it was purpose-built for these applications.
Nigel Is Integrated in NI Software
Nigel is embedded directly into NI software, allowing users to receive assistance without leaving their workflow. With Nigel, you can generate code and sequences from prompts, troubleshoot applications with expert guidance, accelerate project reviews, and much more.
Because Nigel has direct access to product documentation and can utilize project context, its recommendations are more accurate and relevant to your specific work. Its responses are not generic—they are tailored to your environment, providing clearer and more practical guidance than general AI assistants.
An Agentic Future
The pace of AI innovation and adoption continues to accelerate at an unprecedented rate. In the near term, the Nigel roadmap includes expanded workflow orchestration capabilities.
As an intelligent agent, Nigel will help manage activities ranging from planning and system-level debugging to results analysis and test station management. By coordinating multiple tasks on your behalf, Nigel enables you to focus on outcomes rather than individual actions, helping accelerate development and letting you spend more time on what matters most—your product.
Software Integration
Nigel is integrated directly into NI software, enabling assistance where you work while providing additional awareness of your system context. This helps deliver timely, personalized guidance based on your specific application.
NI LabVIEW™
LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment that offers unique productivity tools for test system development. Nigel AI is integrated into LabVIEW to help users design test systems, generate code, and review applications more efficiently.
