This post will give you a deeper understanding of how Flux Copilot works, how large language models (LLMs) and agentic systems operate under the hood, and why grounding them in engineering context matters.
Whether you’re routing high-speed buses, fine-tuning antennas, or laying out clean RF filters, sharp 90º or even 45º angles can be a serious bottleneck. Now, you can create precisely curved elbows across entire nets—or dial them in trace by trace—with full control over radius, inheritance, and overrides.
With the latest release of Copilot it isn’t just smarter—it’s hands-on, placing components and applying bulk changes to your project instantly. But to get the most out of it, knowing how to craft the right prompt is key.
Imagine an AI teammate that doesn’t just chat about your PCB ideas, but actively transforms them into schematics—placing parts, connecting circuits, and optimizing your design at your command, all through natural language. That’s exactly what the newly overhauled Flux Copilot does.
Today, we’re excited to introduce AI Auto-Layout, powered by Flux Copilot. This is the next step toward full layout automation. With just one click, Copilot tackles the repetitive task of routing your board, delivering clean, human-like results that are easy to work with and iterate on.
