Generative wiring design

Stop drawing nets one at a time. Describe what the circuit does and PCBEditor generates the wiring — power, signal, ground — verified against the parts you've chosen.

Traditional schematic capture is a drawing tool with a netlist underneath. You place symbols, click pin to pin, and hope you didn't mis-wire VCC. It scales badly: a 30-part board takes about as long to wire as it does to design.

Generative wiring inverts the workflow. You describe the intent — "USB-C power, 3.3 V LDO, ESP32, DHT22 on I2C" — and PCBEditor generates the netlist, picks the parts, and lays out the schematic. You spend your time on the parts of the design that matter, not on dragging wires.

What you get with Generative Wiring

Intent-first

Specify what the circuit does, not what each net connects to. The AI figures out the rest.

Part-aware

Knows the pinout of every common part — MCUs, sensors, regulators, FETs — and wires them correctly.

Refine by chat

"Move the 5 V regulator to the input side," "add a battery backup" — the schematic updates incrementally.

Exports to KiCad and Gerber

Generated schematics flow straight into KiCad or out as Gerbers.

How it works

  1. 1

    Describe the circuit

    Plain English: parts, power, what should connect to what.

  2. 2

    PCBEditor generates the wiring

    Net by net — power, signal, ground — with the right parts chosen.

  3. 3

    Review the generated schematic

    Inspect the result. Every net is labeled and inspectable.

  4. 4

    Refine by chat

    Add features, swap parts, or restructure power — all by chat.

  5. 5

    Move to layout

    AI placement and routing take over once the schematic is done.
