ChipAgents

Agentic AI platform automates RTL design

Overview

ChipAgents provides an agentic AI platform embedded in code editors to automate RTL design, debugging, and verification for semiconductors. It uses AI agents to generate RTL specifications from natural language, autocomplete Verilog, create testbenches, and autonomously verify code through simulations. The platform integrates with existing EDA workflows and targets hardware engineers to boost productivity, with early traction from 80 leading semiconductor companies. The goal is to shorten pre-silicon design cycles from weeks to days by automating repetitive tasks and enabling language-driven design and testing.
