I've been working on several PCB projects, and agents are very helpful for automating many parts of the workflow. They're excellent for schematics. Complex routing, though, is still a human's job for now; I've watched Freerouting fall on its face many times. If you're doing six-layer high-speed DDR routing, AI won't solve that for you today.

That layout does not look very good:

I'm curious if this even works at high speed though I'm seeing what appears to be length-matched traces. Is the tool using an EM simulator in the process?
