I had this idea for years but never thought I could actually build it myself.
You had the idea. You looked into building it. Then reality hit — you needed to learn five different tools, source hundreds of components, hire a firmware developer, find a manufacturer, and somehow hold it all together in your head. Or pay someone $50,000 to do it for you.
Most people gave up. Not because the idea wasn't good enough. Because the wall was too high.

Describe your product. A coordinated swarm of specialist agents researches and sources components, draws the schematic, lays out the PCB, writes the firmware, optimizes your BOM, checks manufacturing rules, and produces files ready to fabricate — in under an hour.
Then you press one button and order your first prototype.

From description to complete design.
Describe your product in plain English. The Lead Engineer agent reads your goal, then directs a swarm of specialist agents that build every layer of your hardware — from component sourcing to fabrication-ready files.

Type what you want to make. Ravn figures out which agents to deploy and starts designing your hardware.
Ravn won't lock in a part, finalize a board, or send files to the fab without you. But it'll have everything ready — context, trade-offs, recommendation — so your decision takes under 8 seconds.
That's it. That's your job.
Here's what a typical design decision looks like.
“I have an idea for a product. I just don't know how to build it.”
If you've ever thought that, Ravn is for you.
From schematic to PCB to firmware to fabrication. All in one hour. Ravn is your co-engineer.

The platform
IoT sensors and connected devices. Medical wearables. Consumer electronics. Robotics. Defense and aerospace. Automotive. If it needs a circuit board, Ravn builds it.
Full-stack
hardware.
Most builders start on Make — it's free and covers the entire process from idea to fabrication-ready files.
Make
For inventors, makers, and first-time hardware builders.
The complete build process. Up to 5 active projects. No credit card required.
ProMost popular
For builders going deeper and faster.
Everything in Make, plus unlimited projects and advanced control.
Teams
For small companies and hardware startups.
Everything in Pro for up to 10 seats with team features.
Start free. No credit card. No time limit. Under $200 for your first prototype including boards.
Every agent connects to the suppliers, CAD formats, and fabricators the industry already runs on. Export to KiCad, push to your fab, flash real silicon — Ravn just gets to work.
Don't see your tool? We're adding more every week.
No. You describe your product in plain English and answer a few non-technical questions — battery life, wireless, indoor or outdoor, target cost. The swarm of agents handles component selection, schematics, PCB layout, firmware, and manufacturing files for you.
Under an hour from description to a complete, fabrication-ready design. The agents research and source components, draw the schematic, route the PCB, write firmware, build the BOM, and run manufacturing checks — all in parallel.
High-impact decisions never finalize unattended. Anything that locks in cost, selects critical parts, or sends files to a fabricator surfaces for your 1-click approval with full context. The swarm learns from every correction you make.
Yes. Ravn runs DFM checks against your fabricator's real design rules and generates Gerbers, BOM, and assembly files in one click. Send them straight to JLCPCB or PCBWay and working boards arrive in about two weeks.
Absolutely. Upload your schematic and the agents read every component, connection, and constraint. They handle the busy work — sourcing, routing, firmware scaffolding, DFM — so you focus on the hard problems.
Just describe what you want to build.
Under $200 including boards. In two weeks, real hardware arrives.
