# Traceformer.io

> AI schematic checker and PCB schematic checker for KiCad and Altium Designer

Traceformer.io is a web application that uses AI to review PCB schematics and catch design mistakes before fabrication. It ingests full project exports from supported EDA tools, cross-references component datasheets, and shows per-review cost before execution.

## What It Does

- Reviews KiCad and Altium Designer schematics using AI
- Splits components into logical subsystems for scoped review
- Lets users choose which subsystems are included before running
- Cross-references component datasheets to verify correct usage
- Identifies schematic errors, missing connections, and design issues
- Helps prevent costly PCB respins by catching mistakes early

## Supported Formats

- KiCad project export ZIPs (via Traceformer plugin)
- Altium project export ZIPs (via Traceformer export script, includes EDIF artifact)
- Component datasheets (PDF) for cross-referencing

## Target Users

- Hardware engineers designing PCBs
- Electronics hobbyists working with KiCad
- Professional teams using Altium Designer
- Anyone who wants AI assistance reviewing schematics before sending to fab

## How It Works

1. Export your project from KiCad or Altium using the Traceformer tooling
2. Upload the project export ZIP to Traceformer.io
3. Attach or retrieve component datasheets and choose included subsystems
4. Review exact per-review cost, then run analysis
5. Receive an AI-generated review highlighting potential issues
