ChipAgents AI at the 2025 Design Automation Conference #62DAC

ChipAgents AI will showcase agentic AI's role in modern RTL design and verification at DAC 62. Sessions will include demonstrations of Waveform Agents and CoverAgent for smarter debugging and functional coverage. Agentic AI can significantly speed up debugging and closure cycles by using hypothesis-driven search. The semiconductor world is gathering at DAC 62, and ChipAgents AI is coming ready to show why agentic AI is the missing piece in modern RTL design and verification. Whether you’re drowning in terabytes of waveform data, grinding toward 100% functional coverage, or hunting for ways to accelerate time-to-market, our sessions and live demos will give you a first-hand look at how autonomous AI agents can transform your flow.

Video EP6: The Benefits of AI Agents for Waveform Debugging with Zackary Glazewski of Alpha Design

In this episode of the Semiconductor Insiders video series, Dan is joined by Zackary Glazewski, an ML Engineer at Alpha Design AI. Dan explores the challenges of waveform debugging with Zack, who explains how the process is done today and the shortcoming of existing approaches. He explains why current approaches are time consuming and error-prone. A key required element is linking observed waveform behavior to the actual circuit to find the real issue. Zack describes how Alpha Design AI's unique AI Agents address these challenges.

From Tool Agents To Flow Agents

The industry has already demonstrated gains using AI in tight iteration loops, but how does that evolve to cover larger portions of the development flow? Experts At The Table: AI is starting to impact several parts of the EDA design and verification flows, but so far these improvements are isolated to single tool or small flows provided by a single company. What is required is a digital twin of the development process itself on which AI can operate.

ChipAgents Tackles Debug

Innovation is never ending in verification, for performance, coverage, connection to verification plans and other aspects of DV. But debug, accounting for 40% of the verification cycle, has remained stubbornly resistant to significant automation. Debug IDEs help to visualize but don't address the core problem: given a failure, what is the most likely root cause for that failure? Read more about how ChipAgents uniquely handles debug tasks below!
"Digital Twins" started in manufacturing. In chip design and verification, we just call them AI Agents. 💡 At ChipAgents, we're not here to hype buzzwords — we're here to ship real tools that help engineers design, verify, and debug RTL faster. Our AI agents already help leading teams: ✅ Refactor massive legacy Verilog codebases ✅ Auto-generate testbenches with smarter coverage ✅ Pinpoint bugs across thousands of files ✅ Navigate complex design flows without the slog We were recently featured in Semiconductor Engineering's industry roundtable alongside Synopsys, Cadence, and Siemens. Our CEO William Yang Wang shared how AI agents — not just co-pilots — are transforming functional verification and design optimization. "We keep the human in the loop — but we're building toward self-improving agents that can run workflows end-to-end. That's where the industry is going." — William Wang, Founder & CEO We're not reinventing the wheel. We're just giving engineers a better engine. And we're just getting started.
