Cofounder here with a few more details

The updated Flux can now plan and execute multi-step PCB design workflows: things like researching parts, wiring schematics, placing and routing components, and checking its own work — all inside a browser-based eCAD that's fully editable.

It’s still very much at the intern stage: capable, but it needs clear direction and human oversight to get good results. Think of it like Devin, Cursor, or Replit — but for PCB design.

There’s a 2-week free trial if you want to try it. We have a Slack community we're jamming in for feedback - just let me know if you'd like to join!

Love what you've built so far! I've always wondered why it's so much easier to get feedback on code and product design mockups, but the hardware world has yet to catch up. It would be especially nice to streamline discussion between EEs, mechanical engineers, and maybe even industrial designers.

I think the key is creating a space where people can comment in context, as someone here suggested, and take action on the comments. Similar to Figma or Google Docs, the ability to facilitate discussion and iterate quickly makes the design process faster. That's essentially what we're trying to build at Flux.ai (I'm a cofounder).

We're still in private beta and have lots to figure out, but I'd love to chat with you and get your thoughts on what we've built so far :)

Thanks! Yes, we were really inspired by how Figma has helped designers and their teams collaborate. In the same way that Figma has invited more non-designers into the design process, I feel Flux will invite more non-hardware people into the product development process.

Yep, exporting and importing from KiCAD and other software is critical for many workflows. We are continuing to add more import/export capabilities according to demand from our private beta users.

Thanks for joining the private beta! Glad to see you're getting some utility from Flux. We're excited to see what you build with it.

Hi everyone! I’m a cofounder of Flux and excited to invite you to our private beta. It’s my hope that we can help hardware teams build better products through modern collaboration, live simulation, and a community generated library of parts.

I’ll be around to answer any questions for the next few hours!
