Problem
Electronics hardware design is a slow, manual process that requires engineers to select components, draw schematics, and verify every connection against datasheets. This workflow is error-prone, time-consuming, and often results in multiple design respins that delay product delivery and strain engineering resources.
Solution
galvano provides an AI-powered hardware design platform that automates schematic generation from product requirements. Engineers describe their design in natural language, and the platform converses with them to define the circuit architecture, producing a block diagram that captures design intent. galvano then selects verified, in-stock components against real supply-chain data—or accepts parts and datasheets the user provides—and automatically generates a complete schematic with every sub-circuit connected. Users can refine the design through natural-language conversation until it is correct. Every decision, including netlist, part choice, and parameter values, traces back to datasheet passages, and the platform produces a cost-optimized BOM consolidated for the fewest component variants and suppliers. The platform also includes automated PCB placement and routing with design-rule checking, plus a 3D board review, with automated design review features in development.
Target Audience
Primary customers are electronics engineering teams and engineering managers who need to expand design capacity, reduce design time, and deliver projects faster without adding headcount.
Features
- Architecture synthesis that converts product requirements into a block diagram forming the structural skeleton of the schematic
- Automatic component selection connected to millions of real parts filtered by availability, specification, and price, with datasheet upload for automatic symbol extraction
- Natural-language interface for refining schematics and iterating on designs through conversation
- Datasheet-grounded generation where datasheets remain the source of truth throughout design and subsequent discussion
- Cost-optimized BOM consolidation that minimizes component variants and supplier count while optimizing cost
- Automated PCB layout with component placement, routing, and design-rule checking, viewable in 3D
- EDA schematic import from KiCad, Altium, and EasyEDA with automatic datasheet discovery
- Design review feature (in development) providing architecture-level checks, node-by-node verification, and a design report flagging potential critical errors
