This... Actually might be the first AI product I'd ask my work to look into. I've had only one schematic reviewer out of the group catch that a part I'd re-used elsewhere in a design I inherited to reduce complexity + increase configurability actually didn't meet the voltage I needed for it. That example at the start is exactly what was needed and how it was found+fixed. Check the datasheets, check the schematic.

Only concern is the datasheet limit. We tend to have bigger designs than that. Also we're not using KiCAD but maybe it could export.

So glad to hear that! Regarding the datasheet limit: the current Pro plan caps projects at 40 datasheets, but this is not a hard technical limit. For enterprise customers, we can raise this cap. The primary constraint is inference cost — once you go beyond ~40 datasheets, meaningful cross-checking can consume Pro-plan usage very quickly. For teams that are less cost-sensitive, a higher-tier plan with increased limits is feasible.

On EDA tool support, we can work with any tool that exports a netlist. If you can export to .EDIF, it should work out of the box, as this is the format we accept for Altium designs. The schematic visualizer currently supports KiCad only, but we are exploring how to parse full project files from other tools to provide the same visualization and extract additional metadata.
