Everything you need to know about Skimatly AI Circuit Designer
Skimatly is an AI-powered electronic design automation (EDA) platform that transforms natural language commands into professional IEEE-standard schematics. Simply describe your circuit in plain English, and our multi-agent AI system designs it for you in seconds.
Skimatly is designed for students learning electronics, hobbyists and makers building DIY projects, professional engineers prototyping designs, and hardware startups accelerating product development. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, Skimatly makes circuit design faster and more accessible.
Skimatly uses advanced AI technology to understand your circuit description in plain English and automatically generates professional schematics. Our AI analyzes your requirements, selects the right components from our extensive library, and creates properly connected circuits that follow industry standards. The entire process happens in seconds, making circuit design faster and more accessible.
Skimatly is currently in a pre-launch waitlist phase. We're refining our AI technology and expanding our component library to ensure the best possible experience. Join the waitlist to get early access and exclusive updates when we launch!
Waitlist members receive early access to Skimatly before the public launch, exclusive pricing discounts for early adopters, priority support during beta testing, the opportunity to shape product development through feedback, and regular updates on new features and launch timeline.
We're working hard to deliver a polished, reliable product. While we don't have a specific launch date yet, waitlist members will be the first to know when we're ready. We'll send regular updates on our progress.
Our library includes over 5,000 high-quality component symbols covering microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32, STM32, etc.), sensors (temperature, motion, pressure, etc.), power management ICs, communication modules (WiFi, Bluetooth, LoRa), passive components (resistors, capacitors, inductors), and much more. The library is continuously expanding based on user needs.
Yes! Every schematic generated by Skimatly adheres to IEEE and IPC industry standards, ensuring your designs are professional, production-ready, and meet industry requirements. However, we always recommend having qualified engineers review designs before manufacturing.
Yes! Currently, you can export your schematics to KiCAD format. We're actively working on adding support for other popular EDA tools like Altium, Eagle, and more in the near future. This will ensure Skimatly integrates seamlessly with your existing design workflow.
Absolutely! Skimatly generates a starting point based on your description. You have full control to modify, refine, and customize the schematic to meet your exact requirements. Think of it as an intelligent design assistant, not a replacement for your engineering expertise.
We're finalizing our pricing plans and will announce them closer to launch. We're committed to keeping Skimatly affordable and accessible, with options for students, hobbyists, and professional users. Waitlist members will receive exclusive discounts!
We're exploring different pricing models, including potential free tiers or trial periods. Our goal is to make Skimatly accessible to everyone. Detailed pricing information will be shared with waitlist members before launch.
Traditional EDA tools require extensive training and manual component placement. Skimatly uses AI to understand your design intent in natural language and automatically generates professional schematics in seconds. It's 10x faster for initial designs and dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for beginners.
While KiCAD and EasyEDA are powerful tools that require manual schematic drawing, Skimatly automates the entire process using AI. You describe your circuit in plain English, and Skimatly handles component selection, placement, and routing automatically. Skimatly is ideal for rapid prototyping and learning, while traditional tools excel at detailed manual refinement. You can export Skimatly designs to KiCAD for further customization.
Yes! Skimatly specializes in microcontroller-based designs. Simply describe your Arduino or ESP32 project—like "Arduino Nano temperature monitor with OLED display" or "ESP32 WiFi weather station"—and our AI will automatically select the right microcontroller, sensors, and components, then create a complete schematic with proper connections.
Absolutely! Skimatly's component library includes classic ICs like the 555 timer, op-amps, logic gates, and more. You can request designs like "555 timer LED blinker" or "LM358 amplifier circuit" and get instant, professional schematics. Our library covers both modern microcontrollers and classic analog/digital ICs.
Our AI is trained on electronic design principles, circuit theory, and industry best practices. While Skimatly generates accurate schematics, we always recommend reviewing and testing designs before production. AI is a powerful assistant, but engineering judgment is irreplaceable for critical applications.
Our AI is designed to handle a wide range of circuit descriptions, from simple to complex. If the AI needs clarification, it will ask follow-up questions. You can also provide more specific details or constraints in your description. We're continuously improving AI understanding based on user feedback.
Skimatly is a cloud-based platform, so it requires an internet connection to access our AI agents and component library. This ensures you always have the latest features, components, and AI improvements without manual updates.
