Quilter
Quilter is an end-to-end PCB design platform that uses generative AI to automate the layout process. It can place components, route traces, define board stackups, and generate pours. Quilter is compatible with existing design tools and libraries, and it returns completed designs in the same file format they were submitted in. Quilter is currently in open beta and is free to use.
