Our first circuit board, designed by talking to the AI and ordered in under 10 minutes

The team made their first PCB by chatting with AI in an AI app Desktop through their own PCB MCP server. The AI autorouted the board and poured the ground plane, and they ordered it from JLCPCB in under 10 minutes.

Why it’s worth knowing

Five minutes of chat was enough for the AI to route the board and pour the ground plane, and the board went straight to a factory order.
