Flux.ai brings artificial intelligence directly into the hardware design process, redefining how printed circuit boards (PCBs) are created. The platform offers a browser-based eCAD editor where engineers can collaborate, plan, design schematics and lay out PCBs without installing heavy desktop software. At the heart of Flux is its AI Copilot: a trained large-language model that understands circuits, components, and design constraints so it can help users make informed decisions, automate repetitive work, and suggest optimizations.

To begin, you describe what you want to build—such as a portable sensor or motor controller. The AI Copilot then creates a step-by-step plan, proposes a schematic with component choices, and generates a Bill of Materials (BOM) while checking for cost and part availability. Once you’re happy with the schematic, Flux can take your layout and run AI Auto-Layout: this feature intelligently routes traces, placing components and wiring in a way that balances performance, manufacturability and design cleanliness. You can watch the routing evolve, review the AI’s plan, and accept or refine it.

Flux also integrates supply-chain intelligence: every component suggestion comes with live pricing and manufacturer data, helping you make procurement decisions earlier in the design. Smart design rule checks ensure that your board remains manufacturable, and you can export all necessary files (Gerber, pick-and-place, netlist) when you’re ready to fab.

Security and collaboration are first-class: your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and Flux uses cloud-native infrastructure to let teams work together with version control and permission settings. For learning and reuse, there is a growing library of reference designs and modular building blocks that you can fork and adapt.

Flux is ideal for hardware engineers, startups, IoT developers, and makers who want to go from concept to production faster. By embedding AI into every stage of the design process, Flux reduces manual effort, accelerates iteration, and makes professional-grade PCB design more accessible.
