AllSpice

What AllSpice does

AllSpice is a collaboration platform that brings software-style workflows to electronics development, making schematics, reviews, and decisions easy to share, track, and scale. It offers AI-powered design reviews for schematics, helping to spot issues early and strengthen workflows for reliable hardware designs with less rework. The platform integrates with existing ECAD tools, Git platforms, and project trackers, providing version control, role-based permissions, and compliance-ready audit trails. AllSpice aims to make hardware development repeatable, traceable, and resilient, ensuring better designs move forward with confidence.

Products

• AllSpice PlatformA collaboration platform for hardware teams that brings software-style workflows to electronics development, facilitating sharing, tracking, and scaling of schematics, reviews, and decisions. It includes features for visual diffs, in-design commenting, checklists, version control, and audit trails.
• DRCYAllSpice's AI design review agent, built specifically for hardware design reviews. DRCY runs automated, auditable first-pass checks directly inside existing review flows, analyzing native schematic data against component datasheets to surface compatibility issues and common failure modes early in the design process. It identifies design risks, reduces review cycles, and provides contextual feedback and auto-generated documentation.

AI approach

AllSpice uses an AI agent called DRCY for automated design reviews of schematics. DRCY analyzes native schematic data, compares revisions, and references component datasheets and external references to identify potential risks and issues like voltage mismatches, incorrect pin usage, missing ESD, and misconfigured settings. It uses Claude Sonnet 4.0 via AWS Bedrock for Cloud and Enterprise deployments, and is designed to support multiple models, allowing customers to bring their own model provider in supported configurations. Customer data is not used to train foundation models; instead, DRCY is prompted with task-specific context from design files and organization metadata.
