Etch

Voice-to-circuit-board agent

1st place overall · Recursive Agents Hackathon (Oct 2026) · $14,000 prize

Etch turns one sentence into a circuit board. You say what circuit you need, and agents pick real KiCad parts, place them and route the board.

Before the agent calls a board done, it runs ERC, DRC and an ngspice simulation on it.

Etch won 1st place overall and a $14,000 prize at the Recursive Agents Hackathon, run by Crusoe and Cerebral Valley in October 2026.
