Core offering

Cherry Blossom is a browser-based, AI-powered PCB design editor that converts plain-English descriptions into editable schematics, PCB layouts, and fab-ready Gerbers. It pairs whole-board AI generation (powered by frontier language models such as Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5) with an automatic verification gate that checks footprints, power, decoupling, and manufacturability after every edit. Designs are stored as open Circuit JSON and can be exported to KiCad, Gerbers, BOM CSV, SPICE, and tscircuit TSX.

Product overview

Cherry Blossom offers a single unified product: an AI-powered browser-based PCB design editor. The platform combines schematic capture, PCB layout, 3D visualization, BOM management, and fabrication file generation into one integrated tool. The core product is the free browser editor with managed AI included; a Pro tier ($20/month) adds frontier models (Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5) with 4x the AI action allowance; an Enterprise tier (custom pricing, coming soon) targets hardware teams with 200M monthly AI credits and dedicated support. All tiers export to KiCad, Gerbers, BOMs, and the open Circuit JSON format.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Cherry Blossom PCB Design Editor Browser-based AI PCB design editor that generates fab-ready schematics, PCB layouts, and Gerbers from natural-language prompts for individual hardware engineers, embedded developers, and hardware teams. Includes automatic verification gate, export to KiCad, Circuit JSON, BOM CSV, SPICE, and tscircuit TSX, and runs in any modern browser with no installation required.

Quantifiable outcome

• Avoid costly tape-out failures: one thermal mistake at a chip manufacturer caused a $40K tape-out and $20K write-off with 4 weeks of rework — verification gate is designed to catch such errors before fabrication.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• KiCadcoreTechnology or IntegrationCherry Blossom exports editable .kicad_sch and .kicad_pcb files. Users can open designs in KiCad to route, simulate, or finish layout. KiCad is the primary downstream EDA tool for exported designs.
• JLCPCBcoreTechnology or IntegrationExport BOM and Gerbers checked against JLCPCB drill and assembly rules. One of the most popular low-volume PCB manufacturers with a parts library used for cost estimation.
• Anthropic (Claude AI)coreTechnology or IntegrationCherry Blossom uses Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic's frontier models) for AI-powered board generation. These models are available on the Pro and Enterprise tiers. The base free tier uses managed AI powered by frontier models.

Direct peers

• Flux: Flux is a browser-native, real-time collaborative ECAD platform with 'Flux Copilot', an AI assistant that places components, generates footprints, helps with layout, and reviews designs. It is the closest direct peer to Cherry Blossom in the AI PCB design category, differing mainly by emphasising collaborative editing over full prompt-to-board generation.
• Quilter: Quilter is an autonomous PCB layout engine that takes a schematic and constraints and generates placed-and-routed board candidates with physics-first simulation. It is a direct peer in the AI PCB tooling category, addressing a different stage of the workflow (layout vs. whole-board generation) and integrating with Altium and KiCad.
• DeepPCB: DeepPCB is a cloud-native, reinforcement-learning autorouter and placer by InstaDeep that returns placed-and-routed results from a board input. It is a direct competitor in AI-driven PCB automation, focusing on routing and placement rather than schematic generation, and serves small-to-medium boards with a public usage tier.
• Celus: Celus is an AI-driven front-end tool that generates schematics and BOMs from engineering requirements but stops before layout. It is a direct peer in the AI PCB tooling category on the schematic-generation side, targeting the same hardware engineer persona.
• Circuit Mind: Circuit Mind is an AI front-end tool that automates schematic and BOM generation from product requirements. It is a direct peer to Cherry Blossom on the prompt-to-schematic side of the AI PCB workflow, though it stops short of PCB layout.

Broad incumbents

• Altium (Renesas Electronics): Altium is the leading commercial PCB design EDA suite (now part of Renesas) and the dominant incumbent for professional schematic capture, layout, and library management. It is a broad incumbent in the same EDA category, with a much larger install base, paid enterprise seats, and a substantially broader feature set than Cherry Blossom's browser tool.
• Cadence Design Systems (Allegro X AI): Cadence is a top-tier EDA incumbent whose Allegro X product line has begun adding AI capabilities. It is a broad incumbent in the same PCB design category, with deep enterprise relationships in semiconductor and systems houses and a far larger R&D and go-to-market footprint than Cherry Blossom.
• KiCad: KiCad is the dominant open-source EDA suite for schematic and PCB design. It is a broad incumbent and ecosystem anchor that Cherry Blossom interoperates with via .kicad_sch/.kicad_pcb export, and competes with indirectly for any user who is comfortable with a free desktop tool.
• Synopsys: Synopsys is a major EDA incumbent with deep presence in chip and system design and growing AI-augmented EDA offerings. It is a broad incumbent in the broader electronic design automation space that Cherry Blossom operates in, competing indirectly for engineering tooling budget.
• Zuken: Zuken is an established EDA vendor focused on PCB and electrical wiring design for enterprise customers in automotive, aerospace, and industrial markets. It is a broad incumbent in the PCB EDA category that competes with Cherry Blossom indirectly at the enterprise tier.
