HeyPCB is an AI PCB designer that runs in the browser. You tell Inky, our design agent, what the board should do. Inky picks the parts, draws the schematic, places and routes the board, and checks it with DRC, ERC and a circuit simulation before calling it done. You get the KiCad project plus the Gerbers, drill files, BOM, CPL and STEP a board house needs. Every view (schematic, PCB, 3D and enclosure) can also be edited by hand.

| KiCad plugin | Inky beside the board open in KiCad 10's PCB Editor. In beta. |
Also in the editor: Multiplayer (edit one board together, live), Time Machine (every edit by you, your team or Inky, and any version brought back in one step) and Comment (pin a question to any spot on the board).
These boards were designed with HeyPCB. Each repo has the KiCad 10 project, and most include Gerbers, BOM and CPL.
| Project | What it is |
|---|---|
| Kestrel | Electronics for a 5-inch 6S FPV quad: an STM32H743 flight controller, a 4-in-1 ESC running AM32 and a GPS + compass. |
| Iris | A robot head with human-scale eyes, built from four boards: cortex, brainstem, ring and brow. |
| Open Duck Mini | Drop-in boards for the open-source robot duck: quack-core (the brain), quack-face and knuckle (a gimbal-motor FOC driver). |
| Whisker | A drop-in controller for Petoi's Nybble robot cat, running the stock OpenCat firmware. |
| hello-8051 · esp32-s3-devkit | Boards built through our MCP server. |
| Merch | Ten small, useful boards: Blob, Bolt, Hoot, Ruler Dino, Luna, Air Ghost, Cable Bunny, Torch Cat, Pomodoro Pal and Sprout. |
| Starter sets | ESP32-S3 sensor boards (part 2), a power and charging kit, and shaped LED art (part 2). |
Our dev boards (Red Eyes, Exodia and Charizard) are open source too, with KiCad files, Gerbers and BOM on the store. Each repo names its licence.
The HeyPCB Hardware Challenge has $2,000 in prizes: $1,000 for the most-liked board and $1,000 for the team's pick. Entries close November 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT.
