Description
Free AI PCB design software for Mac, Windows and Linux. AI drafts the schematic with real parts; then lay out, autoroute, simulate and export Gerbers.
About Protoflow Ai
What is Protoflow Ai?
Protoflow Ai is a PCB design and electronic design automation platform for Mac, Windows, and Linux that incorporates AI assistance across schematic capture, board layout, simulation, and manufacturing exports.
What Protoflow Ai does
The software generates editable schematics with real electronic components from plain-English prompts, performs electrical rule checks (ERC), and provides interactive board layout with autorouting and SPICE simulation. It imports projects from KiCad, Altium, and EAGLE, produces manufacturing-ready Gerber files, and includes an AI part generator.
Who Protoflow Ai is for
Hardware engineers, robotics developers, electronics students, and hobbyists designing printed circuit boards.
How Protoflow Ai works
Users describe circuit requirements in plain English, review and edit generated schematics with real parts, lay out and route traces, run electrical checks and simulations, and export production files such as Gerbers.
