AutoSharpener
A desktop machine that delivers sharp, polished cutting-tool edges. A CoreXY gantry sweeps each tool, locked at a fixed angle, across a water stone, with every pass at the same angle and pressure.
It started as a question: how far, and how fast, can an idea go when AI is part of the team from day one? Hardware, electronics and software, from concept to a working machine, without a large team or a long roadmap.

What we learned
AI did more than accelerate the project.
It completed whole tasks independently, from start to finish. Where it still needed help, we built the tools.
Electronics and firmware, 100% AI-created
The circuit, the board design and every line of firmware were created with AI. Mechanical CAD is not quite there yet: today's CAD software isn't built for AI.
Research and wiring, faster and better
Reading datasheets, researching components and working out the wiring went much faster, and the result was of higher quality.
Quality needs its own tools, and AI builds them too
To hold the result to the expected quality and stay in control of the product, you need custom tools that check the work. AI can build those as well.
Where AI needs help, we build the tools
PCB placement and routing still take rounds of iteration. So we built schemachef, an in-house electronics design accelerator that guides the process and runs it fully automated.
