Benefits

Why use Traceformer?

AI-powered schematic checker benefits - automated PCB design review and datasheet validation for KiCad and Altium

Catch Simple Mistakes

Stop respins for unforced errors

Surface Complex Issues

Find issues with your design that ERC can't

Transparent Pricing

Per-review pricing with exact cost previewed before every run

How it Works

Multi-Agent AI Pipeline

Traceformer.io uses a three-phase splitter pipeline: splitting, parallel evidence retrieval, and synthesis. This structure maximizes review quality while minimizing token and model cost.

Datasheets

1. Planner

Analyzes schematic, creates work order

2. Workers

Parallel evidence workers

3. Merger

Synthesizes evidence into review

Errors

Missing Info

Planner

  • Parses complete KiCad and Altium projects exported with our official tools
  • Splits components into logical subsystems

Workers

  • Each specializes in one subsystem
  • Search datasheets for relevant specs

Merger

  • Receives all evidence from workers
  • Synthesizes findings into structured output
  • Produces actionable recommendations

Features

Designed for Predictable Reviews

Subsystem Configuration With Per-Review Pricing

Designs are split into subsystems automatically. Choose a model, preview exact review cost, and skip subsystems you do not want reviewed or billed.

Datasheet Retrieval Tool

Datasheets are automatically retrieved for your components, then you choose which documents are included in the review.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What results can I expect?
Every finding cites specific datasheet pages so you can verify the reasoning yourself. You can preview exact per-review cost before launch and run checks on the subsystems you care about.
How do you use customer data?
We use your designs to run analysis and essential operations (diagnostics, support, compliance). We don't train AI models on your content, and all IP remains yours. For improvement, we only use anonymous aggregate metrics—never your actual designs. Details in our Privacy Policy.
How do you prevent hallucinations?
Every finding must cite specific datasheet pages as evidence. If the model can't find supporting documentation, the check goes into "Missing Info" rather than being reported as a verified issue. This lets you distinguish between evidence-backed findings and items needing manual review.
Does this replace traditional ERC/DRC?
No. This tool focuses on datasheet and application-level issues, not electrical rule checking or functional simulation. ERC/DRC and simulation are still required.
