Hardware engineers spend weeks iterating on chip designs. An AI assistant could suggest optimizations and accelerate prototyping.
Create a web-based tool that takes design specs and generates Verilog/VHDL suggestions with explanations. Focus on common architectures first.
Startups would pay monthly for time savings in their design flow. Charge per project or active user.
Start with a simple interface for common FPGA designs, then expand to ASICs.
Risk: Large players may offer similar tools for free to lock in customers.
