CELUS announced October 29 that a new agentic workflow for its electronics Design Assistant is available in beta on its Design Platform.

The company says engineers can describe requirements such as interfaces, power budgets, cost limits and compliance needs. The assistant then prepares an Intent Document and a proposed sequence of work, waiting for approval before executing the plan.

Engineers can stop the process, redirect it or change requirements, according to the announcement. That differs from completing each design request through a separate prompt.

The workflow covers block diagrams, component research, requirement checks and alternative-part comparisons. CELUS says recommendations include links to datasheets or specifications, allowing engineers to examine the underlying references.

Outputs include diagrams, reference schematics and bills of materials intended for established design tools, including Altium, KiCad, Siemens Xpedition and Autodesk Fusion.

CELUS said the workflow can take longer than a single prompt because it adds planning and checking steps. Its announcement describes product capabilities; it does not establish independent validation of generated designs or eliminate the engineer’s responsibility to review them.
