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.
Hardware design doesn’t need to be scattered, confusing, and slow. Want to learn more about how your team can 10x efficiency? Sign up for Flux today.

Learn how smart vias in Flux automates the selection, placement, and configuration of vias during the PCB design process. This automation reduces the manual effort involved in via placement and significantly lowers the risk of misalignment and other common errors associated with traditional via management.
Your team is burning time and money each time a new project begins. At Flux, we’re changing that. The New Project Launcher helps your team improve efficiency by surfacing existing templates which simplify DFM and reduce mistakes. Reduce risk, increase speed, all in a day’s work.
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.
Today we’re excited to announce the next game changer from Copilot: AI component creation. Simply upload a datasheet, select the part you’d like to generate, and watch Copilot create a component to your organization’s standards.
KiCad revolutionized PCB design by making it accessible to everyone. Flux builds on that foundation, offering a browser-based, AI-powered platform that takes your PCB design experience to the next level.
Designing an AI pin would normally take months, but in this project, we did it in hours. In our step-by-step guide, you'll see how Flux can accelerate your design process and bring your AI pin project to life.
With Copilot, the brainstorming process is easy. Given your requirements, just prompt Copilot and it will dynamically generate and evaluate architectural variations, balancing technical specifications and regulatory requirements in real time.
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.
