siliXon
An AI-driven PCB design tool. Users describe electronic device requirements in natural language, and it automatically completes component selection, schematic drawing, and PCB routing, with support for 2D/3D editing and engineering checks.
Timeline (last 90 days)
siliXon is a hardware design tool that generates manufacturable PCBs through natural language descriptions, positioned for people with ideas and not just engineers
siliXon has 76 votes and 4 comments on Product Hunt, ranking 11th for the day
siliXon's core is a design agent named Rocky, which first asks the user for the necessary parameters before starting to generate the design
Rocky selects real, purchasable components, performs layout, draws the schematic, and completes copper routing
siliXon supports manually modifying the design in 2D and 3D views, and also modifying it by telling Rocky in natural language
The design files generated by siliXon belong to the user
siliXon requires every board to pass engineering checks before entering the manufacturing stage
siliXon's official copy does not elaborate on scenarios such as the reliability of complex circuits, multilayer board routing, and electromagnetic compatibility
The place where generative design most easily goes wrong is looking correct while violating process constraints, so making engineering checks a mandatory gate before manufacturing is a key step in making AI output usable
Traditional EDA tools have an extremely steep learning curve, and products like siliXon try to use natural language and agent collaboration to change the entry point from learning the tool to clearly stating requirements
