Quick start

  1. Sign up with GitHub OAuth or an email + password. Students: use the same GitHub account that has your GitHub Education membership for automatic verification.
  2. Upload a session from /app/upload. Drop a BLF or MDF4 file. Telemera parses it in the background — large files may take a minute.
  3. Open the viewer from /app/sessions. Pick signals from the tree, watch waveforms, scroll the event list.
  4. Ask the AI with the Ask AI button. Questions get answered using anonymized statistics — never raw signal data.
  5. Generate a report with the Generate report button. Get a private share URL (7-day expiry) that you can send to anyone without exposing the raw file.

File formats

v0.1 natively reads two formats:

  • BLF — Binary Logging Format (CAN bus). Single recording with optional DBC for signal extraction.
  • MDF4 — Measurement Data Format v4 (ASAM standard). Used widely by OEM and Tier 1 powertrain programs.

Additional bus log, measurement, and motorsport data formats are on the Phase 2 roadmap. Tell us which format you need via the contact form and we'll prioritize the most-requested ones.

Viewer basics

The viewer has three resizable areas: a signal tree on the left, waveform + event list in the middle, and numeric / lap-times panels on the right. Drag the separators to taste — your layout persists for the session.

Click a signal in the tree to toggle it on the waveform. The cursor in the waveform is shared with the numeric panel — hover anywhere to read instantaneous values across all visible signals.

AI Q&A

Click Ask AI in the viewer to open the chat sidebar. Type a question in plain English. Examples:

  • “What anomalies are present in this session?”
  • “Which signal had the largest excursion?”
  • “Why might torque drop at 12.3 seconds?”

Telemera builds a privacy-safe payload from your session statistics and detected anomaly summaries, then streams the Claude response back. The raw time-series data never leaves the Telemera server.

Reports & sharing

From the viewer, click Generate report to render a server-side HTML snapshot of the session: stats, anomaly table, signal table. You get a private share URL with a 7-day cryptographic expiry built into the URL itself.

Sharing a report does not share the raw file — only the rendered HTML. Recipients see anomaly summaries and statistics, not the underlying time-series.

Privacy model

Telemera operates on the strict rule that raw telemetry data is never sent to any AI provider.

What we store on Telemera:

  • The uploaded file (encrypted at rest in Cloudflare R2; you can delete it any time)
  • An extracted signal index (name, ECU, unit, sample count, basic stats)
  • Anomalies detected by our local statistical detectors
  • Any reports you generate (rendered HTML)

What we send to the AI provider per chat turn:

  • Session metadata (name, duration, signal count)
  • Per-signal stats: min / mean / max / stddev
  • Top anomalies (ranked by severity + score)
  • Your question

Identifiers like VIN, ECU serial, and project codes are filtered out of the prompt before it leaves our servers. You can download a JSON archive of your data, or delete your account entirely, from Settings → Privacy.

FAQ

Will paid plans charge during the public beta?

No. The public beta runs on an elevated free quota until Stripe is wired up in Phase 2.4. Every signup gets full feature access.

What happens if I exceed the soft quota?

Nothing breaks during the public beta — limits are displayed but not enforced. After Stripe ships, exceeding the quota will trigger an upgrade prompt rather than a hard cutoff.

Can I use my own Anthropic / OpenAI API key (BYOK)?

Not in v0.1. BYOK is on the Phase 2 roadmap for the Team and Enterprise tiers.

How do I report a bug or request a feature?

Use the contact form and include as much context as you can. For session-specific issues, the session ID from the URL helps us reproduce.
