We recorded an episode of Altium's OnTrack podcast with Zach Peterson Nabil and I walked through how @DeepPCB works. There's a reinforcement learning router underneath, and Cooper sits on top of it, reading your board and getting your design intent into the file before anything gets routed The boards weren't ours. We received three from Zach's community and routed them. On the one we started from scratch on air, Cooper's first observation was that the ground and power layers were typed as signal. That's the setup gap behind most of the "autorouters don't work" you hear: route that board as it stands and you get traces where you wanted a copper pour We also spent time on what we don't do (yet). We'd rather say it someone else's podcast is easier than it sounds, because the alternative is a customer finding out for themselves These tools change the designer's job. They don't remove the need to know (1) something about PCB design, or at least (2) what you're trying to achieve

Your anomaly list tells you what's broken but never what to do about it Ask Cooper. It names the cause and fixes what it can The better the models behind it get, the more of the work it takes. The routing stays in @DeepPCB

Cooper finds the setup gaps. You confirm once. Cooper fixes them all. Missing power net class. USB-C diff pair config. Unknown nets to classify. Nothing runs that you didn’t approve. bit.ly/4aZHimp

🤖 Cooper is live: your layout expert, on demand. It checks your board before @DeepPCB routes it. Upload a board. Cooper tells you what’s wrong before you route, fixes it once you confirm, then drives the engine. 96% mean completion, DRC-clean. It flags it. It fixes it. Done.

Software: free to start Hardware: five-six figures Same idea, different gate Upload a board. See for yourself
