Design Hardware with AI — from Idea to Architecture and BOM

AI can now handle the system-design layer well: proposing the architecture, selecting real components, budgeting power, and generating a BOM. Detailed schematic capture and PCB layout still happen in your EDA tool — PartGenie gets you to that stage in hours instead of weeks.

An AI hardware design tool turns a plain-language product idea into engineering artifacts — system architecture, block diagrams, and a bill of materials. PartGenie grounds every step in a live component catalog so the output uses real, orderable parts.

Yes. Every recommended part is a real MPN from a 22M+ component catalog with lifecycle status and availability. That is the key difference from asking a general chatbot, which frequently invents plausible-looking part numbers.

PartGenie works at the architecture and BOM level: block diagrams, interface definitions, power budgets, and component selection. It does not produce netlists or Gerber files — export the BOM and design brief into your EDA flow for schematic capture and layout.

Yes. The generated bill of materials can be exported for sourcing, quoting, or import into your EDA and PLM tools, and you can run it through the AI BOM Analyzer for risk and alternative coverage first.

Keep chatting. Ask to swap a component, cut BOM cost, change the battery chemistry, or add an interface — the design updates with the reasoning shown, and you can compare options before deciding.

You can try PartGenie's AI hardware designer for free. Advanced workflows such as saved design projects, exports, and deeper follow-up analysis may require signing in or a Pro plan.

General chatbots design from memory: they invent part numbers, miss lifecycle problems, and cannot check availability. PartGenie designs against a live component catalog with datasheet evidence, then connects the result to BOM analysis, alternatives, and sourcing in the same workspace.
