Traceformer.io is a web application that ingests KiCad projects or Altium netlists along with relevant datasheets, enabling LLM-based schematic review. The system is designed to identify datasheet-driven schematic issues that traditional ERC tools can't detect.
Since our first launch (formerly as Netlist.io), we've made some big changes:
- Full KiCad project parsing via an open-source plugin
- Pass-through API pricing with a small platform fee
- Automatic datasheet retrieval
- ERC/DRC-style review UI
- Revamped review workflow with selectable frontier models (GPT 5.2, Opus 4.5, and more)
- Configurable review parameters (token limits, design rules, and parallel reviews)
Additionally, we continue to offer a free plan which lets you evaluate a design before subscribing. We're looking forward to hearing your feedback!
