PartPilot

AI-powered component intelligence tool for hardware engineers that checks part availability, lifecycle status, and alternates across DigiKey, Mouser, and LCSC.

Summary rewritten from the vendor site: the directory record version did not match it.

Facts

Builder: Tirrek Payne
License: commercial
Connects to: generic
Connection note: Distributor-facing tool (DigiKey, Mouser, LCSC per founder posts); no host EDA software could be verified because no product site was found.

Repository stats

No public repository was verified for this tool, so no star, push, or release figures are shown.

What it does and how it connects

PartPilot is described in the founder's own Freelancer hiring posts as an AI-powered component intelligence tool for hardware engineers that automates BOM validation: engineers spend hours manually checking component availability, lifecycle status, and alternates across DigiKey, Mouser, and LCSC, and PartPilot is presented as doing that in seconds.

The same posts say the product is live with real distributor data and ask PCB designers to test it on real project parts, judging whether alternate suggestions feel realistic, whether spec comparison shows the parameters engineers care about, and whether its Second Source Score and Supply Risk Score make sense. The posts do not disclose the product URL (shown only as login-to-view), and no founder name appears in them.

Because no live product site or repo could be verified, this entry is carried on secondary founder posts only. The seed's framing (an AI tool that understands electronics parts and assists with placement-related questions) is not confirmed by those posts, which describe BOM validation and alternate sourcing, not placement assistance.
