Your chip design team,
powered by AI agents.

Chipmind Agents handle the low-level work — RTL generation, verification, documentation — so your engineers can focus on architecture. Flow-aware. SoC-wide. No lock-in.

Your engineers are too valuable to spend half their time on this.

The 40% Problem

Chip design engineers burn up to 40% of their time on repetitive low-level tasks: fixing bugs, writing bus interfaces, updating documentation. That's not a productivity issue — it's a structural one.

Generic AI Makes It Worse

GitHub Copilot and Cursor don't understand your design flow. They're IDE-bound, context-blind, and oblivious to EDA tools. They help with one file at a time while your design spans thousands.

Time-to-Market Won't Wait

Your competitors are moving faster. Every sprint lost to manual RTL work is a market window you won't get back. AI-first teams will ship next-gen chips before you've finished the spec.

You've already tried the alternatives.

Generic coding assistants were not built for chip design. Here's exactly where they fall short — and what Chipmind does differently.

The old way — GitHub Copilot / Cursor

IDE-boundWorks only inside your editor — not in your EDA flow
One file at a timeNo understanding of the SoC hierarchy or cross-file dependencies
No EDA toolchain awarenessCan't run simulations, synthesis, lint, or any EDA command
No session memoryEvery conversation starts from scratch — no persistent design context
No visual intelligenceCannot generate or navigate block diagrams, FSMs, or RTL structure
Cloud-onlyYour RTL leaves your environment — no on-prem or air-gapped option

The new way — Chipmind Agents

Flow-aware executionRuns inside your existing EDA flow — not just your IDE
SoC-wide contextUnderstands hierarchies and cross-file dependencies across thousands of files
EDA toolchain integrationRuns lint, simulation, synthesis, and EDA scripts autonomously
Persistent design contextRemembers your project, your conventions, your constraints — session to session
Visual intelligenceGenerates and navigates block diagrams, FSMs, and RTL structure
On-prem & air-gappedYour IP stays in your environment — cloud, VPC, or fully air-gapped

Meet Chipmind Agents. The first AI agent platform built for chip design flows.

Chipmind Agents don't just suggest code — they understand your entire design database, plan tasks, execute them across your EDA environment, and report back. Interactive when you want oversight. Autonomous when you don't.

  • Flow-aware execution — runs inside your existing EDA flow, not just your IDE
  • SoC-wide context — understands hierarchies, cross-file dependencies, design intent
  • Visual intelligence — generates and navigates block diagrams, FSMs, and RTL structures

// Chat Window

You: Add a second timer peripheral to the SoC, connect it to APB, create a register map and update testbenches.
Agent: Understood. Creating spec → Generating RTL → Updating testbenches → Running simulation... Done. PR ready.

EDA-tool agnostic. If it has a scripting interface, Chipmind can use it.

From task to result in minutes — not days.

Chipmind Agents plug into your existing flow. No migration. No retraining. No new EDA licenses.

01

Connect

Your environment, your tools.

Chipmind connects to your existing VCS, EDA tools, and HPC cluster. On-prem, VPC, or cloud — your choice.

02

Assign

Drop a task — in plain English.

Open a GitHub issue, type an @mention, or use the Chipmind GUI. No new syntax. No scripts. Just describe what you need.

03

Execute

Agents plan and run it — autonomously.

The agent reads your design context, plans the task, runs your EDA tools, and iterates until the result is correct.

04

Review

PR ready. Audit trail included.

Results come back as a reviewable PR with full execution log. You stay in control — agents handle the work.

Everything your design flow needs. Nothing it doesn't.

A complete platform — not a collection of prompts.

In-flow execution

Runs headless in your CI/CD and EDA — no context switching

SoC-wide understanding

Deep hierarchical context across thousands of files

Visual intelligence

Interactive block diagrams and FSMs — see what agents do

Confidential by design

On-prem, VPC, or air-gapped — your IP stays yours

Universal compatibility

EDA-agnostic, LLM-agnostic, no hyperscaler dependency

Real engineers. Real results.

Frequently asked questions

From a team of engineers — for engineers and the people who manage them.

Does Chipmind replace our EDA tools or our EDA licenses?+

Neither. Chipmind Agents operate on top of your existing EDA environment — they execute tasks using the tools you already have. Nothing gets replaced. Nothing gets installed on every workstation. You keep your existing licenses and workflows.

How do you protect our proprietary RTL and design data?+

Your IP stays in your environment by default. Chipmind offers three deployment modes: cloud (private endpoint, no model training), customer VPC with local LLMs, and fully on-prem / air-gapped. Design data is never shared with third parties and never used to train models.

Which EDA tools and simulators does Chipmind support?+

Chipmind Agents are EDA-tool agnostic. They work with tools from Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens EDA, and open-source flows (e.g. Verilator, Icarus, OpenROAD). If your tool has a scripting interface, Chipmind can use it.

What does a PoC look like — how much does it ask of our team?+

A typical PoC runs 4–6 weeks. We start with a joint KPI session to define one or two concrete tasks from your real workload. Our team handles integration. Your engineers evaluate the results. No internal ML expertise required — and everything is covered by an NDA from day one.

Can Chipmind run in an air-gapped environment?+

Yes. On-prem deployment with local LLMs (e.g. Llama-based models on your GPU infrastructure) is a supported configuration. No internet connection required. This makes Chipmind suitable for defence, automotive, and high-security semiconductor environments.

Do we need a dedicated AI or ML engineer to operate it?+

No. Chipmind is designed to be operated by chip design engineers, not ML specialists. Setup and integration is handled by Chipmind during the PoC phase. Ongoing use requires only standard chip designer skills — no Python expertise, no model fine-tuning.
