# Quilter

> Quilter builds physics-driven AI that fully automates printed circuit board (PCB) layout. Engineers go from schematic to fabrication-ready board in hours instead of weeks, using their existing EDA tools without changing their workflow.

Quilter's reinforcement-learning engine generates thousands of candidate PCB layouts and evaluates each against first-principles physics simulations covering signal integrity, impedance control, thermal behavior, and design-rule constraints. The engine is never trained on human-designed boards, which protects customer IP, eliminates bias, and ensures every result is original. Quilter integrates with Altium, Cadence, and Siemens so teams adopt it without changing existing workflows. Customers include hardware engineering teams in aerospace, defense, and semiconductors.

## Product

- [Product overview](https://www.quilter.ai/product): How Quilter generates, simulates, and validates complete PCB layouts — multiple candidate boards in hours, with physics validating every trace.
- [Technology](https://www.quilter.ai/product/technology): The first reinforcement-learning engine for PCB layout. Quilter actively explores layout strategies, learns from thousands of generated candidate boards, and balances tradeoffs over time. Never trained on human-designed boards.
- [Workflow](https://www.quilter.ai/product/workflow): How Quilter integrates with existing PCB design tools and processes. Engineers keep their current workflow; Quilter automates routine layout tasks.
- [Solutions](https://www.quilter.ai/solutions): Physics-driven layout addressing PCB-layout bottlenecks for engineering teams across industries and use cases.
- [Pricing](https://www.quilter.ai/pricing): Pricing scales by pin count, not by seats, so an entire organization can iterate without per-user restrictions. Pay only for approved designs.
- [Demo](https://www.quilter.ai/demo): Request a demonstration of Quilter on your boards.
- [Contact](https://www.quilter.ai/contact): Reach the Quilter engineering and sales teams.

## Plans and access

- [Free non-commercial tier](https://www.quilter.ai/free-ai-pcb-design): Free, unlimited iterations of fully autonomous PCB layout for non-commercial use — innovators can experiment freely without manual routing or resource bottlenecks.
- [Startups package](https://www.quilter.ai/ai-pcb-design-for-startups): Full commercial access at startup pricing for funded hard-tech companies. Test hardware iterations weekly instead of quarterly, validate assumptions at software speed.
- [Support](https://www.quilter.ai/support): Enterprise-grade, proactive support for mission-critical environments. Custom SLA built around the customer's environment, risk profile, and pace of innovation.

## Project Speedrun

The first computer system fully designed by AI. Quilter's physics-driven engine designed a complete i.MX 8M Mini–based Linux computer — two boards, 843 components, 5,141 pins, 8 layers — that booted on the first try.

- [Project Speedrun overview](https://www.quilter.ai/project-speedrun): How one engineer used Quilter to compress a quarter of PCB layout into a week.
- [Live bring-up](https://www.quilter.ai/project-speedrun/live): Public, real-time validation of the AI-designed computer system from power-on through workload execution.
- [Download design files](https://www.quilter.ai/project-speedrun/download): Open design files from the Speedrun project for engineers to inspect, learn from, and reuse.
