Sophris

AI Engineer for Circuit Board Schematic Reviews

Sophris is your AI “engineer” for circuit board schematics, checking for errors—pin mismatches, connectivity gaps, or voltage conflicts—long before they derail your design. By flagging potential issues early, you can fix them ahead of production and avoid the frustrating re-spins that drive up costs and delay schedules. While traditional EDA tools offer basic ERC and DRC checks—like net connectivity and spacing—they don't dig deeply into component datasheets. Sophris takes it further, analyzing specs and cross-referencing design requirements from multiple sources. As a result, subtle pin misconfigurations, voltage mismatches, and datasheet-specific quirks that typical rule checks might miss are brought to light. By identifying design flaws during the schematic phase, Sophris helps you iterate confidently and deliver more reliable products. Faster turnarounds, fewer production surprises, and a smoother path from concept to manufacturing. With Sophris, design more confidently and ship more reliably.

Sophris: An AI Engineer for validating your circuit board schematics
See original launch post ›

Hi YC! 👋 We’re Adarsh, Ansh, and Aditya from Sophris.

TL;DR:

Sophris uses AI to verify circuit board schematics in seconds, catching errors before they become costly delays. Say goodbye to slow reviews and expensive re-spins—our tool has already streamlined workflows for hardware teams like yours.

Our Ask: Know any hardware engineers, PCB designers, or electronics manufacturers who make complex boards or designs at high velocities? Connect us! Drop a line at adarsh@sophris.ai – we’d love to chat.

❌ The Challenge

Hardware development is a high-stakes game. A single overlooked error in a PCB schematic can derail timelines, inflate budgets, and frustrate teams. Here’s what’s holding things back:

  • Endless Reviews: Manual schematic checks drag on for days—or even weeks—on complex boards, draining time and focus.
  • Expensive Fixes: A tiny mistake, like a mismatched pin or voltage error, can trigger re-spins that delay production by months and cost thousands.
  • Data Overload: Critical details are buried across hundreds of pages in schematics and datasheets, making it easy to miss something big.

Traditional approaches just aren’t keeping up with today’s fast-paced hardware demands. But we’ve got a better way…

⚡ Our Solution

At Sophris, we’re a team of AI engineers obsessed with making PCB design smarter and faster. Sophris harnesses AI and advanced language models to transform how schematics are reviewed. Upload your design, and here’s what you get:

Lightning-Fast Checks: Errors like pin mismatches or connectivity issues? Caught in seconds, not weeks.

Data-Driven Requirement Generation: We pull relevant datasheets, extract key specs, and automatically generate precise design requirements to verify your PCB schematics—creating a single source of truth to eliminate guesswork and ensure accuracy.

Real-Time Guidance: Chat with our AI to ask questions, clarify specs, or dig into potential issues, all in a dynamic interface.

The result? Flawless designs, fewer headaches, and hardware that ships on time. Check out our technical demo to see it in action.

🙏 How You Can Help

If any of these ring true, we’d love your support:

  • Know a hardware engineer or PCB designer tired of manual review woes? Point them our way—they can reach us at adarsh@sophris.ai for a demo or chat.
  • Connected to electronics manufacturers or teams building complex boards for industries like High-Performance Computing (HPC), Consumer Tech, Deep Tech (including Drones, Satellites, and Space), Automotive, Aerospace, or Medical Devices? We’d be thrilled to show them how Sophris cuts delays, slashes costs, and ensures flawless designs for their mission-critical projects.
  • Working in or know someone in cutting-edge fields like quantum computing, renewable energy systems, or IoT-enabled infrastructure? Sophris can revolutionize their PCB development, accelerating innovation and reducing risks.

Your intros could help us get Sophris into the hands of those who need it most—pioneers pushing the boundaries of technology across these dynamic industries. Thanks for being part of this journey!

👥 Who We Are

We’re Adarsh, Ansh, and Aditya—engineers passionate about hardware and AI. With experience tackling real-world challenges at AMD, NASA, and Zipline, we built Sophris to solve the pain points we’ve seen firsthand. Our mission? To make PCB design cycles faster, smarter, and error-free.

Let’s build something great together. Reach out at adarsh@sophris.ai!
