Agentic chip design & verification

Agents that take your block from spec to silicon-ready.

DesignAgents writes the RTL, builds the UVM environment, runs real Verilator simulations and debugs the failures — inside one IDE, on one project tree, with every result traced back to a requirement.

One pipeline, four specialists

Each agent hands off to the next on the same files.

01 · Architect

Spec Agent

Turns a plain-English block description into a numbered requirement set, micro-architecture notes and a file plan.

02 · RTL

Design Agent

Writes synthesizable SystemVerilog against each requirement, then compiles it before handing off.

03 · DV

Verification Agent

Builds the UVM environment — interface, driver, monitor, scoreboard, sequences, coverage — on the same project state.

04 · Debug

Debug Agent

Reads the failing UVM log, points the waveform cursor at the failure time, applies a minimal fix and re-runs.

Everything the agents need is already in the IDE.

A real multi-file project

Collapsible /rtl, /tb and /docs tree, Monaco editing, create, rename and delete — agents work on the same files you do.

Agents run Verilator themselves

The agent compiles and simulates, then reads the log it gets back. Pass or fail comes from a simulator, not from prose.

Real VCD waveforms

Runs dump traces automatically. Browse single-bit and bus signals, zoom, and drop the cursor on the failing timestamp.

Requirement traceability

Every REQ maps to the RTL that implements it and the test that proves it, with the last run status attached.

Synthesis handoff bundle

Export a zip with /rtl, /verif, /docs, SDC constraints, lint report, coverage summary and a requirements matrix.

Persistent project hub

Every file, spec and run is saved per project, with pipeline stage, last result and file counts on one page.

Stage 1 · Spec Agent

From a paragraph to a verification plan

Describe your block. The Spec Agent extracts every requirement into a traceability table and flags what you didn't say but need — edge cases, timing budgets, reset behaviour.

Stage 2 · Design Agent

Synthesizable RTL, compiled before it ships

The Design Agent implements each requirement in SystemVerilog, writes it straight into the project tree, then compiles and runs it — no RTL is handed over untested.

Stage 3 · Verification Agent

A complete UVM environment, not a snippet

Interface, driver, monitor, sequencer, scoreboard and coverage — generated against your spec and proved with a real Verilator run.

Stage 4 · Debug Agent

Reads the log, finds the bug, re-runs

UVM_ERROR at 64000ps? The agent traces it back through monitor and scoreboard, reports the failure time so the waveform cursor lands on it, applies the fix and simulates again.

Ready for the next tool in your flow

Export a synthesis handoff bundle in one click

Every project exports as a structured zip your synthesis and sign-off flow can consume directly — constraints, lint, coverage and traceability included.

Not templated, actually verified

Every result is a real simulation

Real Verilator compiles and runs

Not narrated output. If it says PASS, a simulator actually ran and passed.

Full requirement traceability

Every line of RTL and every test maps back to a numbered requirement in your spec.

The agent never fabricates results

It's explicitly instructed to report only what the simulator actually returns.

Put agents on your next block today.

Create an account, paste a spec, and let the agents handle the RTL, the testbench and the debug loop.
