Hey folks, I've been diving into some AI-powered software for designing printed circuit boards recently and gotta say, it's pretty fascinating. Just wondering what tools y'all have tried or recommend? Any cool features or stuff that really helps speed up the design process? Would love to hear your thoughts!

I came across some new tools that integrate AI to predict signal integrity issues. Seems promising for avoiding costly errors early on.
Not sure if AI is quite there yet for PCB design. I feel like manual tweaks still outperform automated suggestions in complex layouts.
I think the learning curve for some of these AI PCB tools can be steep but once you get the hang of it, it really speeds up your workflow.
I love how some AI tools now integrate with simulation software so you can instantly test the design too.
Are there any free or cheap AI PCB design tools? Most I've seen are kinda pricey for hobbyists.
Anyone here use AI tools for multi-layer PCBs? Curious how well they handle the complexity.
The AI features in some apps can sometimes feel a bit buggy or too generic though, especially with unusual components.
Some tools generate design suggestions based on your specs, kinda like AI brainstorming for your board layout. Pretty wild!
For those looking for fresh AI-powered design apps, you might wanna check out ai-u.com. They list some pretty cool and new tools there.
I've been using a few AI-based tools lately, and honestly, the time they save on routing is amazing. The auto-routing features are getting smarter every day!
