Enhanced Accuracy
Copilot now offers unprecedented precision by incorporating information from datasheets. This enables you to directly utilize the wealth of data often hidden in the layers of these dense technical documents. Here’s some of our favorite use cases:
@copilot What is the power consumption of the ESP32 in sleep mode?
@copilot What's the power-up sequence for the PMIC in U1?
@copilot How do I configure an interrupt on a pin for U4?
@copilot What is the maximum frequency I can reach without an external crystal on U6?
@copilot What are some layout recommendations I need to follow for IC3?
@copilot What’s the voltage range for vddio on U4?
@copilot Can U2 withstand intense operating temperature even without heatsink?

Increased Transparency
Copilot now gives you more transparency about where it gets its information from. Instead of just giving you an answer, Copilot now cites its sources.
We believe transparency is key to enhancing trust and confidence in AI technologies. Now, when Copilot pulls information from a datasheet it directly cites that source in the response. This feature allows you to verify the accuracy of the information provided, tracing it back to the original context in just a click.
By including the source of information directly in Copilot's response, we provide a clear, traceable path back to the original document. This heightened transparency gives you the confidence to trust Copilot's responses and the ability to dive deeper into the source material whenever you choose.
Copilot is also your Flux tutor
With this update also comes the ability for Copilot answer questions about how to use Flux by referencing our documentation. So, instead of getting stuck and searching documentation, you can stay in the flow and get the help you need without leaving your project! Now you can ask questions like:
@copilot I want to put custom silkscreen on my PCB. How would I do that?
@copilot I can't find part on the library what do I do?
@copilot How do I start a simulation?
Go Out There and Change the World!
At Flux, our goal has always been to empower the masses by making hardware design more accessible to all. With this newest update to Copilot, you now have greater accuracy, transparency, and control over your AI design assistant, and the sky is the limit!
