DRCY AI Design Review

DRCY AI Design Review.

DRCY is AllSpice’s AI assisted design review agent.

It reviews your hardware designs using schematic context and component datasheets to surface potential issues, missing checks, and areas that deserve a closer look. DRCY is designed to support engineering judgment, not replace it.

DRCY works on the same design reviews you already use in AllSpice and runs automatically in the background.

When to use DRCY

DRCY is most useful after you have uploaded a design and completed an initial manual review.

Common use cases include:

• Catching issues that are easy to miss during manual review
• Getting broader review coverage without adding more reviewers
• Supporting senior engineers and teams reviewing many designs in parallel

DRCY does not block your workflow. You can continue reviewing and sharing your design while it runs.

How DRCY works at a high level

When you add DRCY to a design review, it:

• Analyzes schematics using design context
• References component datasheets associated with parts
• Applies structured review prompts developed for hardware design

DRCY produces review comments with references back to schematic locations and datasheets so engineers can quickly evaluate each finding.

Run a DRCY AI design review

Running DRCY takes only a few steps.

1. Open an existing design review in AllSpice. Use our Quick Review if you are just getting started.
2. Add DRCY to the list of reviewers.
3. Review the report in the comments of your Design Review.

Once added, DRCY automatically begins analyzing the design and adds a report into the comment thread.

If you do not see DRCY available as a reviewer, contact support@allspice.io.
for help enabling DRCY for your team.

What happens after you start DRCY

DRCY runs asynchronously in the background.

Depending on the size and complexity of the design, the review may take some time to complete. You do not need to stay on the page while it runs.

When DRCY finishes:

• You are notified in AllSpice
• Review comments appear directly in the design review
• Each finding includes context to help you assess it quickly

Reviewing DRCY results

DRCY results appear alongside human review comments.

Each comment:

• Is tied to a specific part of the schematic
• Includes supporting context such as datasheet references
• Is intended to be reviewed and confirmed by an engineer

You can reply to, resolve, or ignore DRCY comments just like any other review feedback.

The following interactive example shows DRCY reviewing a real hardware design and surfacing findings directly in the design review.

Important limitations to understand

DRCY is an assistant, not an authority.

• It does not approve designs
• It may surface false positives
• It may miss issues outside its current scope

Final design decisions always remain with your engineering team.
