Describe, don’t draw
Turn "an STM32 with USB-C power and an I2C sensor" into a wired, editable schematic in minutes.
Use case
Prompt to clean netlist.
Describe a circuit in plain English and get an editable, manufacturable schematic, the core of ProtoFlow, and the "step zero" before layout.

01 | THE PROBLEM
Schematic capture is the slow, mechanical part
01
Placing symbols and wiring nets by hand is hours of repetitive work.
02
A blank schematic gives you nowhere to anchor a new design.
03
Conventions like decoupling and pull-ups are easy to forget by hand.
02 | HOW PROTOFLOW HELPS
A real schematic, not a picture
Symbols, named nets, and power flags you can move, rename, and edit, not a static diagram.
Validated before export
Built-in DRC/ERC flag unconnected pins and electrical mistakes, so the first draft is reviewable, not random.
03 | HOW CAPTURE WORKS
1Describe
Describe it in plain English
State the board or block you want: MCU, peripherals, power rails, constraints, the way you would brief a teammate.
2Draft
Get an editable first pass
ProtoFlow assembles the schematic, places key parts, and wires the repetitive early conventions for you.
3Export
Hand off a clean project
Run DRC/ERC, then export a tidy KiCad or Altium project so your real layout workflow starts further ahead.
04 | FAQ
Can I edit the result?
Yes, everything is editable. It is a starting schematic, not a sealed black box.
Does it route the board?
No. Schematic capture is step zero; export to KiCad or Altium for layout and routing.
How do I avoid AI mistakes?
Run DRC/ERC, import real parts, and verify key connections against the datasheet before you fabricate.
