Netlist.io is a web app that ingests your KiCad/Altium netlist and relevant datasheets so an LLM can reason about the actual circuit. It’s built to catch schematic mistakes that traditional ERC tools often miss, and it can even help debug already-fabbed boards by letting you describe the failure symptoms.

I built this because I was tired of shipping boards with avoidable mistakes — hopefully it saves you from a re-spin too!

Ingesting data sheets is an interesting angle compared to normal ERC, which KiCAD supports out of the box, but how good is it at the ingesting?

Datasheets themselves are inconsistent and incomplete so I’m wondering how you evaluated the accuracy of the import and what your acceptance criteria is.
