Easiest way to build hardware gadgets using plain English
Making hardware used to take weeks of learning CAD, sourcing compatible parts, and writing firmware. With Confetti, it starts with a conversation. Create and edit designs, find components, and order printed parts straight to your doorstep. Start from scratch or remix a community project to make it your own.
Hey everyone! We’re Tianyi and Lucas, cofounders of Confetti (YC F26). We're two UPenn CS dropouts who love building. Between us, we’re 9x hackathon winners and have conducted research at Stanford and Wolfram. But, when we entered the world of hardware and wanted to build a home AI device for themselves, we found ourselves faced with more questions along every step of the process. Which connector did we need for this? Would the components fit inside the case? Where could we buy the parts, and when would they arrive? Were they compatible?
For someone who had never built hardware before, that was an enormous amount to learn just to make one thing. We don’t think that should be the price of admission. We’re building Confetti so you can describe what you want, work through the details, and keep refining it as your idea takes shape, with AI agents handling the hard parts of the process.
Confetti puts the whole process on one platform, driven by natural language:
CAD: generate and edit 3D designs from text or image prompts
Electronics: automatic sourcing for compatible off-the-shelf parts, wiring, and firmware
Manufacturing: get quotes and place orders to get parts sent straight to your doorstep
Community: share, remix, and personalize builds from other makers for yourself
People have used Confetti to build things like a portable dynamic mechanical analyzer for physics research labs, a custom keyboard to type faster, and customized gifts for friends. AI has democratized who can build software. We believe hardware is next. With Confetti, more people can experiment, solve their own problems, and make personalized things that otherwise wouldn’t exist.

Who hunted Confetti?
Confetti was hunted by Garry Tan. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
