Hey everyone, I had this idea recently in the semiconductor and tech space. I thought of this because building physical hardware right now is an absolute nightmare with the global supply chain constantly breaking, and I wanted to build a tool that takes the chaos out of finding and buying chips. I just put together an early-stage live prototype where the core idea is simple: buy the winners and avoid the shortages. It’s basically an AI engine that tracks the market in real-time and translates all that complicated Wall Street and factory data into plain English. You can search your industry without needing exact 15-digit part numbers, and it highlights which chips are safe to design with versus which ones are sold out, then gives you secure links to distributors like Octopart to buy them. It’s completely free and hosted on Vercel right now, but I’m not here to just drop a link and disappear—I really need your help with UX layout and problem validation . If any of you design hardware or handle procurement, I would love your honest feedback on a few things: The Layout: Does the single-page view make sense for a quick market glance, or does it feel overwhelming? Feature Validation: I’m planning to add a bulk BOM scanner (CSV upload) and a dedicated page tracking regional geopolitics/fab construction (US CHIPS Act, export bans). Are those actually useful for your workflow, or is the simple search enough? Tone: Is the plain-English translation helpful, or do you prefer seeing the raw technical data side-by-side? Please try to break it and tell me exactly what sucks or what’s missing. Here is the prototype to look at: https://semiconductor-copilot.vercel.app/ submitted by /u/ClearSignificance304
