This looks great, but I want to know when LLMs will be useful for generating schematics rather than just checking them! It’s such a letdown right now to jump from doing firmware with Claude Code to drawing schematics manually like it’s 2022. :) When does KiCad get its little assistant pane on the right?

Schematic generation doesn’t really make sense to me because the cost of a problem going unnoticed is much more significant in hardware design than software.
