optimizes trace layouts for zero interference
You design hardware prototypes, source components, and battle thermal constraints. Then you argue with factories about yield rates.
The one thing AI can't do
You can sense when a board will smell like burning plastic before it happens.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 8
Smart software replaces your manual datasheet cross-referencing.
Month 9
Algorithms finalize trace routing faster than any human hand.
Month 17
Physics engines catch heat issues before a prototype exists.
Year 2.4
Global bots buy the best parts at lowest prices.
Year 3.5 · D-Day
The factory receives code directly from our design agent.
