Why we built this

We built this because BOM sourcing sucks.

Hours wasted cross-referencing distributors. Tabs upon tabs of DigiKey searches. Copy-pasting part numbers into spreadsheets like it's 2005.

Stock changes mid-project. Lead times shift overnight. That capacitor you spec'd last week? Now it's 52-week backorder and you're scrambling for alternatives at 11pm before your Monday production meeting.

We're engineers who got tired of spreadsheet hell. So we built the tool we wished existed.

What we believe

01

Your time matters

You should be designing circuits, not hunting for stock levels. The mundane stuff should be automated.

02

AI augments, not replaces

The LLM suggests and explains. You make the calls. We're not here to replace engineering judgment.

03

Transparency first

See why we suggest what we suggest. Every recommendation comes with reasoning you can verify.

How it works

1

DigiKey API integration

Direct DigiKey API access for real-time pricing, stock levels, and lead times. No middlemen, no stale data.

async fetchDigiKey(mpn: string)
2

LLM-powered analysis

Our AI disambiguates vague part descriptions, identifies compatible alternatives, and optimizes for your constraints - cost, stock, or minimal distributors.

agent.analyze({ parts, constraints })
3

Ranked recommendations

Get concrete suggestions with scores, not just raw data dumps. Each option explains the trade-offs so you can make informed decisions fast.

return suggestions.sort((a, b) => b.score - a.score)

Stack

We believe in being transparent about how things are built. Here's what's under the hood:
