8 New AI Capabilities for Faster PCB Design
With Copilot Shortcuts, there is no more crafting the perfect prompt or reading through documentation to figure out what Copilot’s strengths and weaknesses are. To access Copilot Shortcuts, simply right click a component or project in Flux and choose the prompt you want to use. In the past year, users have had access to a handful of Copilot Shortcuts, including;
Today we’re excited to announce the addition of 8 new Copilot Shortcuts so that your team can get the most out of Copilot with the least prompting effort possible.
Now, after much feedback from users and rigorous testing on our end, we’ve created a set of new prompts that are commonly useful to engineers and are written in a way to guarantee the best results possible.
The new prompts we’re adding include
As you work with Flux Copilot, please let us know which use cases and workflows are most valuable by joining our Slack Community. Together, we can revolutionize PCB design by automating tedious and error prone workflows so you can focus on what you enjoy doing most!
Whether you're migrating from popular EDA applications or starting fresh, mastering high speed PCB design has never been more intuitive. Flux enables teams to design, simulate, and route with real-time AI assistance, so you can spin your next high-speed board with total confidence.
This Spring 2026 updates make hardware design faster end-to-end with a more capable, self-correcting AI agent, improved AI auto-layout that needs less cleanup, sourcing-aware design with real-time pricing and availability, and templates to start from.
This update brings more than just polish—it’s the foundation for a faster, more fluid design experience, built around the way Copilot is used today and the way we see it evolving tomorrow.
Whether you’re routing high-speed buses, fine-tuning antennas, or laying out clean RF filters, sharp 90º or even 45º angles can be a serious bottleneck. Now, you can create precisely curved elbows across entire nets—or dial them in trace by trace—with full control over radius, inheritance, and overrides.
With the latest release of Copilot it isn’t just smarter—it’s hands-on, placing components and applying bulk changes to your project instantly. But to get the most out of it, knowing how to craft the right prompt is key.
Imagine an AI teammate that doesn’t just chat about your PCB ideas, but actively transforms them into schematics—placing parts, connecting circuits, and optimizing your design at your command, all through natural language. That’s exactly what the newly overhauled Flux Copilot does.
Imagine starting a project with over 800,000+ parts at your fingertips, ready to go without any setup. With Flux community-powered part library, you have everything you need to build at scale —all in one place, with real-time supply chain data, intelligent filters, and powerful AI tools.
Creating a manufacturable, error-free PCB is never simple. Every engineer knows that missed details lead to production delays, costly revisions, and project setbacks. But what if you could have the power of a seasoned review team guiding you, 24/7?
