About

ProtoFlow is an AI-native desktop electronic design automation (EDA) tool for schematic capture and PCB design. Describe a circuit in plain language to create an editable first draft, search real electronic parts and footprints, inspect datasheets, clean up wiring, and continue manually in familiar schematic and board editors. ProtoFlow supports ERC/DRC review, 3D board inspection, Git-backed versioning and visual diffs, comments and collaboration, plus manufacturing outputs including Gerber, drill, BOM, and placement files. Designs remain normal editable geometry, and users should verify symbols, footprints, connections, and manufacturing data before production. ProtoFlow can read and write native KiCad files and export to established EDA workflows. A free plan is available without a credit card, with paid options for higher AI usage. It is built for hardware engineers, makers, students, educators, researchers, and electronics startups.

About

Trace is an AI-native PCB design platform that takes hardware teams from idea to manufactured board. It combines professional schematic capture and PCB layout tools with intelligent agents that understand hardware in context. Users describe what they want to build in natural language, and Trace can research the problem, generate hierarchical multi-sheet schematics, parse datasheets, suggest components, check real-time availability, place parts, route multi-layer boards, tune matched-length signals, and run ERC, DRC, and design reviews. Its component library includes more than 30,000 symbols and footprints, with sourcing data from major distributors. Plan Mode researches complex tasks, asks clarifying questions, creates a step-by-step plan, and executes only after approval, while TraceRules preserves component preferences, layout constraints, and manufacturing targets across conversations.
