AI-Accelerated Hardware Design Tools — From spec to silicon in seconds.
Cirkitly is a modular open-source stack of intelligent agents and tools that reimagines the way digital hardware is designed. We use AI to radically simplify chip and accelerator development — from natural language specs to synthesizable RTL, optimized CUDA/HLS kernels, and layout-ready netlists.
Whether you're a student, FPGA developer, or silicon architect — Cirkitly accelerates the hardware workflow with clarity, automation, and AI augmentation.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
spec2rtl |
Convert structured specs → RTL + testbench + sim script |
rtl-copilot |
Prompt-based Verilog generator & smart FSM editor |
picoplace |
Lightweight placer-router with AI hints and SVG layout visualizer |
cuda-genie |
AI compiler that converts C/Python → optimized CUDA/HLS kernels |
silicon-agent |
Integration orchestrator that runs spec → RTL → sim → layout → report |
Hardware development is traditionally:
- Slow
- Manual
- Fragmented
- Opaque
Cirkitly fixes that by introducing intelligent automation and an end-to-end AI-first stack, giving you:
✅ Rapid prototyping
✅ Seamless integration
✅ Natural language interfaces
✅ Powerful abstractions
- Languages: Python, Verilog, CUDA, JavaScript
- Tooling: Yosys, Verilator, Graphviz, LLVM, Magic VLSI
- AI Models: GPT-4, custom prompt engineering, agent routing
- Frontend: React (Monaco), Tailwind, FastAPI
- Simulation: Verilator, GTKWave, cocotb (planned)

Each repo is modular, open, and can be used independently or as part of the full stack.
