AI PCB design
Describe the board. Get a schematic, a placed layout, routed copper and a DRC pass.

Most tools that claim AI do one step - usually routing. The hard part is upstream: choosing parts that exist, writing a netlist that is electrically valid, and placing connectors somewhere a cable can reach. PCBEditor does the whole chain and shows its working at each stage.
Deterministic where it matters
Net formation runs through a rules compiler driven by each pin's electrical class, not model judgement, so the same parts and intent produce the same netlist every run. Reproducibility comes from the algorithm; the model chooses parts and intent.
Checked, not asserted
Every board is routed with an industry autorouter, then run through 23 DRC rules with self-healing. You see the unrouted count and the error count, not a claim that it worked.
Can a chat assistant design a PCB?
A general assistant is good at choosing parts and explaining a topology, and cannot place, route or design-rule-check a board. Here is where the line falls for each.
