siliXon Launches Text-to-PCB Design Agent

siliXon tackles one of hardware’s biggest bottlenecks: translating intent into a board engineers can actually manufacture. The promise is substantial, but its early-beta status makes human verification essential.

• –Generates editable 2D and 3D layouts instead of stopping at a schematic or BOM.
• –Supports two- and four-layer boards, currently with the best results on mostly digital designs.
• –Automated connectivity and manufacturing checks could significantly reduce prototype iteration time.
• –Its conversational workflow makes PCB design accessible to hobbyists and software-first builders.
• –Limited analogue support and the need to inspect every design show that Rocky is an accelerator, not yet an autonomous electronics engineer.[siliXon vs. CELUS](https://silixon.io/compare/silixon-vs-celus)
