optimises your gate-level netlist in seconds
You write hardware descriptions in Verilog and VHDL. Then you simulate, debug, and pray it synthesizes.
The one thing AI can't do
You can still explain why the timing failed when the EDA tool reports success.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 3
Smart agents start writing your boilerplate Verilog modules automatically.
Month 5
Constraint solvers replace your manual testbench writing and edge-case hunting.
Month 11
Neural nets optimize gate-level netlists better than your tired brain.
Month 16
High-level synthesis tools turn C++ directly into production-grade silicon.
Month 19 · D-Day
The machine generates the final bitstream and retires your login.
