Friends!

I could use your feedback on a new ai-assisted tool I have been working on for a few weeks.

You describe a project you want to build, and the tool suggests a complete bill of materials with real, buyable components:

https://www.embeddedrelated.com/parts/advisor

The tool isn't officially published yet and your feedback will greatly help me apply the fine tuning needed to make this as useful as possible before officially going live.

To provide your feedback, you can post here, but ideally, you'd use the feedback form at the bottom of the advisor's output (Are the parts suggested relevant? Are there parts that you think/know would have been better? etc).

Thank a lot in advance!

Hi,

This is an interesting idea for a tool, and its design (inputs and outputs) is clean and clear. I'm not sure about its specific utility - I suspect it starts at a too high, too general level.

To illustrate: I asked it about a very simple project (similar to something which I actually did), and for the microcontroller it gave me three options, made by different companies. All good options, but each comes with its own different suite of development tools which I'll probably have to buy, install and/or learn... Now, of course I could tell it which microcontroller families I'm already familiar with, but in that case, I already know their general characteristics, and I don't need an AI's recommendation, right? In other words, it tells me things that I - and certainly the many members here who are more professional than me - already know. 

Personally, what could really save me some time is an AI to recommend components based on parameters which are hard or impossible to filter by in the major seller websites. For example, I don't need an AI to tell me I should use a connector - I want it to recommend a 6-pin board-to-cable connector with a maximum height above the PCB of 8mm, can carry at least 1A per wire, have a minimum of 1000 mating cycles, and is in stock together with matching cables. For a reliable recommendation tool of that kind, I'll even pay! :-)
