In the rapidly growing field of electronic design automation (EDA),professional software such as KiCad, Cadence , and Altium Designer provideincreasingly extensive design functionalities. However, the intricate commandstructure and high learning curve create a barrier, particularly for noviceprinted circuit board (PCB) designers. This results in difficulties inselecting appropriate functions or plugins for varying design purposes,compounded by the lack of intuitive learning methods beyond traditionaldocumentation, videos, and online forums. To address this challenge, anartificial intelligence (AI) interaction assist plugin for EDA software namedSmartonAl is developed here, also KiCad is taken as the first example.SmartonAI is inspired by the HuggingGPT framework and employs large languagemodels, such as GPT and BERT, to facilitate task planning and execution. Onreceiving a designer request, SmartonAI conducts a task breakdown andefficiently executes relevant subtasks, such as analysis of help documentationparagraphs and execution of different plugins, along with leveraging thebuilt-in schematic and PCB manipulation functions in both SmartonAl itself andsoftware. Our preliminary results demonstrate that SmartonAI can significantlystreamline the PCB design process by simplifying complex commands intointuitive language-based interactions. By harnessing the powerful languagecapabilities of ChatGPT and the rich design functions of KiCad, the plugineffectively bridges the gap between complex EDA software and user-friendlyinteraction. Meanwhile, the new paradigm behind SmartonAI can also extend toother complex software systems, illustrating the immense potential ofAI-assisted user interfaces in advancing digital interactions across variousdomains.
