About ALT TAB
Building the future of PCB design
We are a team of engineers, designers, and AI researchers passionate about making hardware development faster, smarter, and more accessible.
Our story
ALT TAB started with a simple observation: hardware engineers spend countless hours on repetitive PCB tasks that could be accelerated with intelligent assistance.
Founded in 2024, we set out to build AI tools that understand PCB design—not just as images, but as structured engineering data with nets, footprints, and design rules.
Today, our KiCad AI Plugin helps teams iterate faster, catch errors earlier, and focus on innovation instead of busywork.
What drives us
Our values
Innovation
We push boundaries in AI and hardware tooling, always exploring what is next.
Community
Open source and KiCad users are at the heart of everything we build.
Quality
Reliable, production-ready tools—not demos. Your boards depend on it.
Passion
We love hardware. Every feature reflects respect for the craft of PCB design.
Product journey
Roadmap
Our roadmap runs from years of KiCad practice to the in-editor assistant you can download today—and toward agentic tools that understand your boards end to end. Each milestone is a shipped step in that product journey: what we have delivered for engineers and what we are building next.
