How it Works
Multi-Agent AI Pipeline
Traceformer.io uses a three-phase orchestrator pipeline: planning, parallel evidence retrieval, and synthesis. This structure maximizes review quality while minimizing token and model cost.
Planner
- Parses your complete KiCad project or Altium netlist file
- Identifies circuit subsystems (power, comms, sensors, etc.)
- Creates evidence requirements for each subsystem
Workers
- Run in parallel for speed (up to 10 simultaneous)
- Each specializes in one subsystem
- Search datasheets for relevant specs
- Use lightweight models to minimize cost
Merger
- Receives all evidence from workers
- Synthesizes findings into structured output
- Produces actionable recommendations

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What results can I expect?
Every finding cites specific datasheet pages so you can verify the reasoning yourself. The free tier lets you test with your own designs—try one where you already know an issue exists.
How do you use customer data?
We use your designs to run analysis and essential operations (diagnostics, support, compliance). We don't train AI models on your content, and all IP remains yours. For improvement, we only use anonymous aggregate metrics—never your actual designs. Details in our
How do you prevent hallucinations?
Every finding must cite specific datasheet pages as evidence. If the model can't find supporting documentation, the check goes into "Missing Info" rather than being reported as a verified issue. This lets you distinguish between evidence-backed findings and items needing manual review.
Does this replace traditional ERC/DRC?
No. This tool focuses on datasheet and application-level issues, not electrical rule checking or functional simulation. ERC/DRC and simulation are still required.
