{"id":104942,"title":"Stillwind Builder — Zero to BOM in minutes instead of days","tagline":"AI agent that turns your PCB design intent into a complete, verified bill of materials.","body":"❌ **The problem**\n\nEvery PCB design is a constraint problem: you need components that are electrically and functionally compatible with each other. Solving it by hand means hours — often days — of tracking down parts, reading datasheets, adding a component, discovering a conflict, and backtracking. Pick an MCU and the cascade begins: it needs a specific crystal, external flash on the QSPI bus, a regulator that can source its peak current. Every choice ripples through the whole design.\n\n✅ **The solution**\n\nStillwind Builder formalizes your design constraints as an explicit system of equations and solves for matching components.\n\n* **Verified specs.** Before we show you a part, a second model independently re-reads its datasheet and verifies the specs match — so the numbers you design against are what the datasheet actually says, not extraction artifacts.\n* **Dependency-aware.** When you lock in a component, the agent reads its datasheet for the supporting parts it requires — voltage regulators, crystals, external flash — and updates the constraint system. The ripple effects of each choice are handled instead of discovered later.\n* **You stay in control.** You set the direction and make the calls that matter; the agent handles the combinatorial grind.\n\nAt the end, you download your BOM and start wiring.\n\n🚀 **Try it**\n\nThe public beta is live and free during launch week: [**https://stillwind.ai**](https://stillwind.ai)\n\nBuilding hardware and want to tell us what's broken?
