Turn a plain English idea into a circuit board you can order
Describe your device in plain English and siliXon takes it all the way to a routed, manufacturable PCB, built for anyone with an idea, not only engineers. In minutes. Rocky, our design agent, asks what it needs to know, then picks real, purchasable components, places them, draws the schematic and routes the copper. Edit in 2D and 3D, or just ask Rocky. Every board must pass engineering checks before it goes to manufacture, and the design files are yours.
Hey Product Hunt! I’m Mihai, co-founder of siliXon.
This started as a passion project while I was studying at Cambridge. Someone asked me what I disliked most about my time in industry, and it was easy to pinpoint it: the software. In industry, we spent a lot of time in LTspice and EasyEDA, I spent hours just trying to get the tools to let me do what I already knew I wanted.
So the first version was just a nicer interface for designing circuits. Then we won a hackathon, and the goal got much bigger: let the whole world design electronics, not only engineers.
That’s what siliXon is today. You describe a device in plain English, and Rocky, our design agent, asks what it needs to know. Then it picks real parts you can actually buy, places them, draws the schematic and routes the board. You can edit everything in 2D and 3D or just ask Rocky to change it. Every board has to pass engineering checks before you send it off to be made, and the design files are yours.
To be upfront: we’re in early beta. We've grown the team to almost 10 people after closing our funding round in April. Right now siliXon makes 2- and 4-layer boards and works best on mostly digital designs. Analogue support is still limited, so check your board carefully before you order it.
I’d love to hear from you:
- What’s the most frustrating part of designing a PCB for you?
- What’s the first board you’d build with siliXon?
I’ll be in the comments all day, and our Discord is open if you get stuck.

Who hunted siliXon?
siliXon was hunted by Mihai Mesteru. 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.
