Guide / AI

AI that reads your schematic

Ask about the board: the assistant sees the page you're on, your BOM, your notes and the datasheets you attach.

Ask in the chat

  1. Click AI in the toolbar to open the chat for this project.
  2. Ask a question, e.g. "What sets U1's switching frequency?" It sees the current page, the BOM and the team's notes.
  3. Answers stream in; earlier chats are listed under Chats in this project. Chats are private to you.

Ask about one area

  1. Click Ask AI in the toolbar.
  2. Drag a box around the part of the circuit you're asking about.
  3. Ask your question in the chat: the AI gets a zoomed-in image of that area.

Ask about highlighted text

  1. With Select on, drag across text on the schematic (a net, a part).
  2. Choose Ask AI in the menu: the text is attached to your next question.

Your AI allowance

  1. Each account has a monthly AI allowance, which resets on the 1st. The chat shows how much is left.
  2. Reading datasheets and long conversations use more of it.
