-- Zenode today announced the launch of its artificial intelligence (AI) search engine designed to change the way engineers discover and evaluate electronic components. Instead of sifting through endless distributor catalogs and datasheets, engineers can now use natural language search to quickly find processors, power supplies, sensors, and more—reducing hours of manual work to mere minutes.

Zenode’s platform combines large language models (LLMs), parametric filtering, and machine learning to deliver accurate, context-aware results. By focusing on component search—the starting point of every hardware project—Zenode helps teams speed up development while improving confidence in part selection.
With the global PCB market expected to grow exponentially, the firm’s innovation comes at a critical time when hardware developers seek faster, more cost-effective solutions to remain competitive.
“Our mission is to empower hardware designers,” says Brandon Bourn, founder and CEO of Zenode. “With our new AI component search engine, we are taking a step forward in helping companies build faster, smarter, and more efficiently.”
PCB design often requires substantial manual input, with engineers needing to manually search through millions of parts and specifications via online catalogs. Zenode simplifies this process by allowing engineers to input design parameters in natural language and receive optimal component suggestions in real time. This level of automation reduces the risk of errors, ensures consistency, and frees engineers to focus on more innovative aspects of product development. With Zenode, users can simply type everything they know about the component, and the AI will instantly handle the entire search process—matching terms, filtering options, and making smart recommendations. This saves people from endless clicks and guesswork
In 2024, the demand for advanced PCBs surged, driven by growth in telecommunications, healthcare, automotive, and consumer electronics. Zenode’s new AI tool is positioned to capitalize on this growth, offering a solution that meets the market's current needs while anticipating the increasing complexity of hardware systems in the future.
The free software is user-friendly, designed to integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, and adaptable to large-scale corporations and independent hardware developers. In addition to its focus on reducing design time and costs, Zenode’s AI technology also supports sustainability efforts by helping users optimize material usage in PCB design, contributing to more efficient production methods.
