Flux.ai Overview
Flux.ai is an innovative AI-powered platform that acts as your personal "AI intern" for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design. It streamlines the entire hardware development process, from initial concept to manufacturing, all within a collaborative, browser-based eCAD environment. Flux.ai automates complex tasks, explains its design decisions, and empowers engineers to build production-ready PCBs faster and more efficiently.
Flux.ai Key Features
- AI-Powered Design Workflow: Utilize AI to plan projects, generate schematics, perform intelligent component placement, and optimize routing, accelerating your design process.
- Generative AI for Hardware: Leverage AI for tasks like auto-layout, architecture design, netlist generation, and even firmware coding, transforming how you approach electronics development.
- Browser-Native ECAD: Design from anywhere with a powerful, desktop-class experience directly in your browser, requiring no downloads or installations.
- Real-time Collaboration: Work seamlessly with your team on projects using built-in version control and advanced permissions for efficient co-design.
- Live Component Data: Access real-time inventory, pricing, and alternative part suggestions to ensure your Bill of Materials (BoM) is always production-ready and cost-optimized.
- Transparent AI and Control: Maintain full control over your designs with explainable, reviewable, and reversible AI actions, ensuring you understand and approve every step.
- Smart Design Guardrails: Benefit from automated design rule checks, continuous supply chain monitoring, and manufacturability validation to prevent costly errors.
- Comprehensive Import/Export: Easily import schematics from popular ECAD tools like Altium, Cadence, and KiCad, and export standard manufacturing files (Gerbers, BoM, pick-and-place).
- Support for Multi-layer PCBs: Design professional, multi-layer PCBs (up to eight layers) suitable for a wide range of applications, including IoT, wearables, and robotics.
