How it works

1.Describe the circuit

Say what it should do in plain English — “a 5V to 3.3V supply feeding an ATtiny with an I2C temperature sensor.” No symbols to place by hand.

2.Get an editable schematic

The AI proposes parts and how they connect, and draws the schematic. It is a real, editable sheet — not a static image — so you can adjust anything before going further.

3.Review the connections

Because a schematic is the plan the whole board is built from, you check it first: the parts make sense, the nets are right, nothing is left floating.

4.Turn it into a board

When the schematic is right, the same tool places the components and routes the copper, then exports fabrication files. The schematic is not a dead end — it is step one of a finished PCB.

A schematic is the start, not the finish

Generating a diagram is useful, but a schematic on its own is not a board. The value is in what comes next: taking the reviewed schematic and turning it into a placed, routed, manufacturable PCB. That second half — the geometry, the routing, the design-rule check — is done by a deterministic engine, not the language model, which is what makes the output something you can actually build.

Common questions

What is a text-to-schematic tool?

It turns a plain-English description of a circuit into a schematic diagram — the wiring plan showing which components connect to which. Instead of dragging symbols and drawing every net by hand, you describe the circuit and the AI drafts the sheet for you to review and edit.

Is the generated schematic editable, or just a picture?

Editable. It is a real schematic with real parts and nets, so you can change components, fix connections, or add to it — and then carry it forward into board layout. A static image would be far less useful.

Can it design the PCB too, or only the schematic?

Both. A schematic is the input to a board, so the same tool takes the reviewed schematic and places, routes and checks the PCB, then exports Gerber, drill, pick-and-place and BOM. See text to PCB for the full flow.

Should I trust an AI-generated schematic?

Treat it as a strong first draft to review, not a finished answer — the reliable workflow is AI-drafts, human-reviews. The AI is good at proposing parts and topology; you confirm the intent is right before it becomes copper.
