CircuitPilot is an AI‑driven EDA assistant that turns plain‑English circuit descriptions into complete, verified KiCad schematics. It uses specialized agents to generate block diagrams, select exact components with correct symbols and footprints, and maintain a structured, versioned log of all design actions for audit and rollback.

Problem
Designing electronic schematics in KiCad requires manual translation of circuit concepts into block diagrams, component selection, and symbol/footprint assignment, which is time‑consuming and error‑prone. Engineers and hobbyists often struggle to maintain an auditable version history of design decisions, leading to costly revisions and delayed hardware releases.
Solution
CircuitPilot offers an AI‑driven EDA copilot that interprets plain‑English circuit descriptions and automatically generates verified KiCad schematics ready for fabrication. A coordinated set of specialized agents—Architect, Librarian, Designer, Connector, Reviewer, and Tutor—collaborate to produce a block diagram, select real components with accurate symbols and footprints, and assemble a complete schematic. The system streams each agent’s actions as a structured log, providing versioned audit trails, diffing, branching, and rollback capabilities. Users interact through a unified canvas that combines chat, planning, BOM verification, and activity logs, enabling rapid iteration while preserving design integrity.
Target Audience
Primary users are professional electrical engineers, hardware development teams, and advanced hobbyists who need fast, reliable schematic generation and traceable design histories within KiCad.
Features
- Natural‑language interface that converts textual circuit intent into a full KiCad schematic
- Multi‑agent architecture with dedicated roles (architectural planning, component library lookup, design placement, connectivity validation, review, and tutoring)
- Real‑time block diagram visualization of sensors, passives, power domains, and interfaces
- Automatic resolution of every component to a verified KiCad symbol and footprint from the user’s library, eliminating hallucinated parts
- Structured action logs that record each agent’s steps, supporting audit, diff, branching, and rollback of design versions
- Integrated reviewer agent that validates schematic consistency before final output
- Tutor agent that can explain design decisions and suggest improvements during the workflow
