Features
AmpereBrain is a local-first PCB design AI tool that keeps versioning, libraries, reviews, specifications, simulations, and manufacturing exports close to the ECAD editor.
01 / Project Dashboard
One dashboard for project status and quality: DRC and ERC results, BOM status, part availability for the variants you build, whether your simulations still pass against the production schematic, and which specifications and requirements still need review or approval.
Everything on the dashboard is derived from the project itself, so it cannot drift from the design it describes.
02 / Specs & Requirements
Specifications and requirements start from a structured template, and the AI copilot helps you complete them and keep them in sync as the project evolves. They stay formal, versioned, and stored with the project.
Everyone reviews and approves the same requirements. It also covers test results and other document types, configured for your industry, so the structure stays flexible and AI-ready. Align and collaborate efficiently with stakeholders, clients, and engineering managers.
03 / Hands-Free Versioning
With automatic tracking, every change is saved and documented. Open and compare previous versions of your design.
Don't spend time writing commits, AmpereBrain handles it for you. Commits are created automatically with descriptive messages. You can write your own too.
04 / Smarter Library Management
Bring symbols, footprints, SPICE and 3D models, and the technical documents behind them into one place, automatically versioned and always up to date.
Find datasheets, application notes, and errata automatically, search them fast, and let AmpereBrain compare your KiCad footprint against the datasheet reference before it becomes a production issue.
05 / Fast Reviews & Issue Tracking
Review immediately: visual diffs, comments pinned directly on the schematic, threads, and severity levels. See component details and datasheets in one click.
Feedback becomes tracked issues instead of chat messages, and every decision stays tied to the revision it belongs to. Full issue tracking for boards, with several reviewers in the same discussion.
06 / Simulation Without Drift
Remove the drift between your SPICE simulation and the board you actually build, because they are the same schematic.
Variants, grouping, and quick exclusions keep only the relevant circuitry in each run. Your simulation workbook stays tied to the project, so you can review it one last time before production.
07 / Continuous Verification
Verification runs continuously in the background: ERC and DRC, part lifecycle and availability, footprint-to-datasheet compliance, and simulation against the production schematic.
You hear about a problem the moment it is introduced, not when you're about to order the board. It covers the whole design: the schematic, the parts, and the documents behind them.
08 / Smart Search & Answers
Ask in chat and get cited passages, or use smart search that matches similar terms so the answer is found wherever it lives: the datasheet, the errata, or the application note.
Answers stay grounded in your project and your own documents, and the cited source passage stays visible in the viewer while you read the answer.
09 / AI Copilot
Turn project context into specifications, test reports, and technical documentation with diagrams and complex graphs when they help, and cross-check calculations against your design and its source documents.
It reads the schematic, the libraries, and the documents as one project, so its answers are grounded in the board you are actually building.
10 / Ready-Made Exports
Hand firmware engineers the technical documents as Markdown together with the pinout of your board and MCUs, so their agents can start coding. Send your mechanical designer the 3D model, and your manufacturer a ready-to-go fabrication bundle: Gerbers, CPL, and BOM.
The Gerbers, CPL, and BOM are generated from the project itself, using the profile of the fabricator you are building with, so the bundle arrives in the format they expect. Every export comes from the same versioned source.
The Complete Toolchain
Keep the project dashboard, version history, component libraries, reviews, specifications, simulation, and manufacturing exports in the same project workspace.
