Closed-Loop Semiconductor Automation
RTL to Signoff. Driven by AI, Run Locally.
An autonomous, local-first desktop workspace built for chip design. AgentIC auto-discovers and drives your local EDA tools and PDKs—supporting both open-source and commercial stacks (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens)—running closed-loop verification and checkpointed repair loops until your design is signoff-clean.
Zero-Trust Local Workspaces
RTL, PDK files, synthesis scripts, logs, and evidence graphs remain strictly on your machine. Your source code is never uploaded to the cloud.
Enterprise BYOK Path
Securely connect your own model provider keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or local models). You pay only for raw tokens.
Broad EDA & PDK Support
Works with your existing stack. AgentIC auto-discovers and drives both open-source tools (Yosys, Verilator, OpenROAD) and industry-standard commercial tools (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens) and PDKs.
Durable State Checkpoints
Maintains filesystem snapshots and state databases. The agent can back-track to previous stages if synthesis or routing fails.
Workflow
From intent to verified artifacts.
AgentIC does not assume every user has the same flow. It learns the project context first, then chooses the next local action based on the tools and PDKs available on that machine.
RTL Quality & Linter Loops
Runs local compilers/linters (Verilator, Questa, Yosys, Design Compiler), identifies syntax or synthesis issues, and surgically patches source code.
Static Timing Analysis (STA) Parsing
Parses timing logs (OpenSTA, PrimeTime, Tempus), calculates setup/hold slack, and optimizes constraints without bloating context limits.
Physical DRC & LVS Verification
Reads physical verification reports (DRC/LVS from Calibre, OpenROAD, Magic) to pin down layout mismatches at specific coordinates.
Human-in-the-Loop Verification
Proposes terminal commands and file edits through visual diffs, executing only after your explicit approval.
Security model
Your source code is not the product.
Buildstack does not need your Verilog, TCL, PDK files, logs, or generated artifacts to sell AgentIC. The cloud entitlement server verifies purchases; the desktop app does the engineering work locally.
