At Flux, we’re bridging this gap and bringing all the hardware design process under one roof. Today, we’re giving Copilot the ability to link to parts when it makes suggestions, so that your team can easily research components without having to leave the tool.
Just click the link and instantly access everything you need to know: specs, datasheets, real-time pricing, and even usable models—all within Flux.
When your team needs to find a part for your design, Copilot is your best friend. Simply provide it with your needs, criteria, and project-specific restrictions. Then watch as it offers you multiple component options, each meeting your team’s unique needs.
Now that Copilot can link to components within its responses, your team has a new advantage. You can go from part option to part research immediately. Simply click the link on the Copilot-suggested part, and you’ll be brought to that part’s page within Flux. There, you’ll find everything you ever wanted to know about the part, including performance specifications, datasheets, real-time sourcing and pricing, and even usable schematic symbols, footprints, and 3D models.
No more switching tabs and software. The entire component selection process lives in one tool, meaning your team can work quicker and more efficiently.
Say your team already selected a part, but you’re in need of alternative options. Maybe you need to cost-optimize your design with more affordable components. Or, maybe your part is out of stock and lead-times are months long.
Copilot shines here by leveraging its knowledge and Flux’s vast database of components to find your team the best options for your specific project. Copilot can understand your project architecture and the interplay between components within your schematic. With knowledge of that context, Copilot can find the best part alternatives that meet your needs without risking your designs functionality or performance
And, with parts linked directly in Copilot responses, you can go from searching for alternative options to designing with those alternatives in minutes. No searching DigiKey. No creating footprints or models. Follow Copilot’s link, read up on your new part, and drag and drop it directly into your design.
Imagine a world where hardware design is streamlined, intuitive, and collaborative. That's the future we're building at Flux.

Flux Copilot helps your team tackle the complexities of PCB cost optimization, identifying hidden savings and providing engineers with actionable insights to streamline design processes and reduce costs.
Increase your PCB design productivity with Flux Copilot's new AI shortcuts. Automate tasks, optimize designs, and reduce errors.
We're excited to reveal a major upgrade - Flux Copilot is transitioning from being a helpful guide to a proactive partner. It no longer just advises but, with your approval, can now wires components together! This is a small step towards fully generative AI, reducing the time and complexity often associated with component connections.
For months, we’ve been adding new features and functions to Copilot to help make it the most powerful AI for hardware design in the world. Today, we’re announcing what might be the biggest upgrade yet: Copilot Vision.
Imagine a future where your most complex PCB design challenges are met with an intelligent AI assistant, capable of handling everything from component selection to compliance checks. Read on to discover how Copilot, embedded within the Flux platform, is turning this vision into a reality, liberating electrical engineers to focus on what truly matters: innovation.
Today, we're proud to announce a significant upgrade to Flux Copilot: Copilot can now understand datasheets and reference them in its responses. This means you get more accurate responses when asking Copilot questions about specific parts. This enables you to directly utilize the wealth of data often hidden in the layers of these dense technical documents.
Explore more than 20 new Flux Copilot prompts for hardware design. Accelerate brainstorming, component selection, validation and design review to streamline your PCB design.
Design review is one of the most time-consuming and expensive parts of the hardware design process. Most engineers spend over 30% of their time performing design reviews. What if we could reduce that so that products could ship 30% faster and 30% cheaper?
