What Circuit does
Circuit Holdings, Inc. (operating as Circuit and Circuit AI) is a privately held Austin, Texas-based AI software company founded in July 2024 by former Silicon Labs CEO Tyson Tuttle and four Silicon Labs co-founders. The company sells a purpose-built AI platform that ingests manufacturers' and service organizations' proprietary technical documentation — including CAD files, schematics, P&IDs, wiring diagrams, BOMs, manuals, and SOPs — and exposes it through domain-specialized agents for RFP/RFQ automation, guided product configuration (CPQ), technical enablement, and field service workflows. The platform is multimodal (text, image, structured data, audio) and is built on a Retrieval-Augmented Generation architecture that relies on third-party LLM providers (Anthropic, Groq, AWS-hosted models) rather than proprietary foundation models, with each customer's data isolated in dedicated secure AI containers and every response grounded with source citations.
Circuit monetizes through quote-based enterprise SaaS subscriptions billed in U.S. dollars on a recurring basis, with a demo-driven sales motion targeting manufacturers and service organizations. The product surface includes named use-case modules (RFP & RFQ Automation, Guided Product Configuration, Technical Enablement), the Competitive Crossover add-on for bid generation, native iOS and Android mobile apps, Agent-Initiated Workflows with event triggers, and enterprise integrations with ERP (SAP, Oracle NetSuite, MS Dynamics, Infor, Sage), CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot), and document platforms (OneDrive, Google Suite, Confluence, SharePoint). The platform holds SOC 2 Type II and CASA Tier 2 compliance and is sold primarily into industrial verticals — manufacturing, automotive, field service, home & commercial services, and trades — with a named-customer roster that includes Culligan, Lutron, Azbil, EddyPump, DAE Pumps, Four Hands, Hawk, and MPI McWane. In February 2026, Circuit closed a $30 million angel round (one of the largest in Texas) from individual investors including Jim Breyer, Charlie Amato, and Lew Cirne, with founder Tuttle publicly stating intent to eventually take the company public.

Circuit product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Circuit is a purpose-built AI platform that converts customers' technical documentation (manuals, schematics, CAD files, SOPs, BOMs, wiring diagrams) into intelligent, source-cited workflows for manufacturing and service organizations. The platform powers Quote & Proposal Automation, Field Service, Customer Support, and Technical Enablement use cases, supported by a Competitive Crossover add-on and native iOS/Android mobile apps for technicians in the field.
Product overview
Circuit is a single, purpose-built AI platform (the Circuit Platform) delivered alongside a set of named use-case modules — RFP & RFQ Automation, Guided Product Configuration, and Technical Enablement — that share the same documentation-grounded engine for manufacturing and service organizations. On top of this core, Circuit layers additional capabilities and products including the Competitive Crossover add-on for competitive cross-referencing, native iOS and Android mobile apps, Agent-Initiated Workflows (event-triggered agent automation), Circuit Files & Indexes management, and Microsoft Single Sign-On. The platform, modules, and add-ons all draw on the same underlying knowledge-retrieval engine to turn technical documentation into guided quoting, field service, configuration, and customer support workflows.

Products and services
- Circuit Platform Purpose-built AI platform that turns customers' technical documentation (manuals, schematics, CAD files, SOPs, BOMs) into intelligent, source-cited workflows that guide quoting, field service, configuration, and customer support. Sold to manufacturing and service organizations.
- RFP & RFQ Automation Module that analyzes RFPs, specifications, and drawings to surface requirements, risks, and fit; supports takeoffs; and accelerates estimating and go/no-go decisions for manufacturers and distributors.
- Guided Product Configuration (CPQ) Module that converts product specs, application notes, pricing rules, and configuration logic into documentation-backed guided quoting workflows so sales teams can produce accurate quotes without relying on a few senior experts.
- Technical Enablement Module that ingests manuals, schematics, product specs, and service documentation to deliver traceable, documentation-backed guidance inside installs, troubleshooting, configuration, and customer-facing tools via a simple API.
- Competitive Crossover Purpose-built tool that automates end-to-end competitive cross-referencing by ingesting competitor product lists (Excel/PDF), performing line-by-line AI matching with confidence scores and bundle/kit matching, and exporting clean Excel/CSV outputs ready for pricing and sending.
- Circuit Mobile App (iOS and Android) Native mobile applications (iOS generally available; Android in beta) that bring Circuit Agents, knowledge access, and file uploads to field technicians on phones and tablets, including on-device photo capture, voice dictation, and push notifications.

Circuit competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- C3.ai: C3.ai is a vertical AI platform purpose-built for industrial, manufacturing, and service organizations. It directly competes with Circuit in the manufacturing/industrial AI space, offering pre-built AI applications for asset performance, supply network, and customer engagement on enterprise data.
- Cresta: Cresta builds vertical AI agents for customer support and field service teams, including in manufacturing-adjacent industries. It uses domain-specialized conversational AI grounded in enterprise knowledge, mirroring Circuit's customer support and Technical Enablement modules.
- Glean: Glean is an enterprise AI search and RAG platform that grounds answers in a company's own documents and apps. It competes head-to-head with Circuit's knowledge-retrieval engine across enterprise customers, though Glean is horizontal while Circuit is verticalized for manufacturing.
- Moveworks: Moveworks provides an enterprise AI agent platform for IT, HR, and operational support, grounded in company documentation. It overlaps with Circuit's Technical Enablement and Customer Support use cases as an agent-driven, document-grounded workflow product for enterprise teams.
- Tacton: Tacton is a CPQ and product configuration platform specialized for manufacturers of complex, configurable products. Circuit's Guided Product Configuration and Quote & Proposal Automation modules compete directly with Tacton for the same industrial quoting workflows.
- Augury: Augury is a vertical AI platform for manufacturing and industrial customers, focused on asset health, reliability, and process optimization. It is a direct vertical AI peer in industrial/mid-market manufacturing, with overlapping GTM into plant and service operations.
Broad incumbents
- Palantir Technologies: Palantir Foundry and AIP deliver vertical AI for manufacturing, industrial, and service organizations, including document-grounded agents. It is a broader incumbent with deeper resources and longer enterprise track record, but overlaps directly with Circuit's manufacturing AI thesis.
- ServiceTitan: ServiceTitan is a leading field service management software platform for trades and home/commercial service organizations. Circuit's Field Service module competes for the same technician workflows, and ServiceTitan is increasingly embedding AI features into its incumbent install base.
Emerging players
- Decagon: Decagon builds AI agent products for customer support, grounded in company documentation and integrated into support tools. It is an emerging peer in the agent-for-support category Circuit targets, with a similar RAG-plus-architecture approach but a horizontal customer base.
- Forethought: Forethought is an AI customer support platform that uses LLMs to triage, deflect, and assist tickets. It overlaps with Circuit's Customer Support module on AI-driven support workflows, particularly in verticals handling complex technical documentation.
