AI-assisted electronics

Synth

Circuit boards, built from code.

A compiler for electronic design: turn readable circuit source into KiCad schematics, PCB layouts, and bills of materials.

Community + Enterprise

The purpose

The idea behind
Synth.

Synth brings a software development workflow to electronics. Components, connections, and board constraints live in readable circuit source. A typed compiler checks that source and generates outputs engineers can inspect in KiCad.

An AI agent can find parts, write circuit code, read diagnostics, and refine a design through Synth’s MCP tools. Engineers retain the source, the checks, and the generated artifacts. Community provides the open compiler; Enterprise adds a managed workflow and team support.

Inside Synth

A closer look.

Explore the capabilities
and the thinking behind them.

01

A design you can review

Store components, connections, and constraints as text. Review changes in Git and preserve design intent in the source.

02

A compiler at the centre

Use typed compilation, deterministic placement and routing, and structured diagnostics to guide the design process.

03

Checks with evidence

Run electrical and physical checks. Required verification that cannot run is reported as unknown, rather than treated as a pass.

04

A practical KiCad handoff

Generate schematics, PCB layouts, and bills of materials. Inspect the outputs in KiCad before downstream engineering and manufacturing.

From intent to action

How it works.

A path through Synth,
one step at a time.

  1. 01

    Describe the circuit

    Write SynthSpec source directly or ask an MCP-connected agent to develop it from a board brief.

  2. 02

    Compile and refine

    Resolve parts, run checks, and use structured diagnostics to revise the design.

  3. 03

    Inspect the outputs

    Open generated KiCad schematics and boards, review the BOM, and complete the required engineering checks.
