I let the AI design a circuit board. It works.

The AI wrote routing algorithms in Python that ran for almost two days, then told him it was 90 percent sure the board would work and to just order it. He paid 200 euros, and the finished board arrived two weeks later.

How it works

  1. The AI designs the board in KiCad
  2. It writes routing algorithms in Python and runs them for almost two days
  3. It says it is 90 percent sure the board will work
  4. He orders the board for 200 euros
  5. The board arrives two weeks later

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent told him to just order the board before anyone knew if it would work, and the board that came back works.
