Problem
Electronics design engineers spend significant time manually selecting components, verifying specifications, and ensuring parts meet lifecycle and supply chain requirements. This process is error-prone, often relies on outdated or incomplete component data, and delays design completion when parts are specified too late in the workflow.
Solution
CELUS provides an AI-driven engineering platform that captures design intent through a structured question-and-answer process and automatically generates reference schematics with complete bills of materials. The platform connects to manufacturers' live component data through MCP, ensuring that every recommended part reflects current specs, stock levels, and lifecycle status. Engineers retain full control, as every block, part, and decision remains editable throughout the process. The final output opens natively in major EDA tools, allowing teams to move from requirements to a ready-to-use design without manual data entry or guesswork.
Target Audience
Primary users are electronics design engineers and hardware teams in industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics sectors who need faster, more reliable component selection and schematic generation.
Features
- Intent-capture assistant that asks sequential questions to fully define design requirements before generating solutions
- Automated matching of trusted reference designs to requirements, with all components and decisions left open for modification
- Live component data integration via MCP, providing real-time specs, stock, price, and lifecycle information from manufacturers
- Automatic part specification into the schematic, not just suggestion lists, ensuring components are written directly into the design
- Native export and handoff to Altium, Cadence, Siemens, Fusion, and KiCad
- Orchestrator architecture with specialized agents for intent capture, design planning, checking, verification, and alternative component sourcing
