Local-first VLSI design agent
Codex for Silicon, running on your workstation.
AgentIC is a paid desktop app for autonomous chip design. It uses your local EDA tools, your PDKs, and your own model provider key. Buildstack cloud handles only account login, license verification, and count-only usage reporting.
IP stays local
RTL, PDK files, prompts, logs, and artifacts remain on the user's machine.
BYOK model path
Teams connect an OpenAI-compatible provider with their own key and model.
Uses your EDA stack
AgentIC discovers native tools, Docker flows, WSL, PDK paths, and proprietary adapters.
OpenCode-style loop
The local backend reads, writes, edits, searches, and runs approved workspace commands.
Workflow
From intent to verified artifacts.
AgentIC does not assume every user has the same flow. It learns the project context first, then chooses the next local action based on the tools and PDKs available on that machine.
Describe the block, target flow, constraints, and success criteria.
The original user intent remains part of the run context so later fixes stay aligned.
AgentIC inspects the workspace and detects available EDA capabilities.
No hardcoded EDA path is required; discovery and adapters decide what is usable.
It creates RTL, tests, scripts, reports, and artifacts under AgentIC-workspace.
Generated code and reports are workspace-scoped and never posted to Buildstack.
If tools are missing, it asks whether to install, configure, or skip that step.
Missing capability decisions stay conversational and require user approval.
Security model
Your source code is not the product.
Buildstack does not need your Verilog, TCL, PDK files, logs, or generated artifacts to sell AgentIC. The cloud entitlement server verifies purchases; the desktop app does the engineering work locally.
