Show HN: Confetti – Start designing hardware with plain English prompts

Hey HN! We're Tianyi and Lucas from Confetti (YC F26) (<a href="https://confetti.build/">https://confetti.build/</a>). We’re building a platform that helps you turn your ideas into physical things using plain English.<p>Take a look at a quick demo video here: <a href="https://youtu.be/UhtAs4mg5O8" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/UhtAs4mg5O8</a><p>Making hardware has always required layers of expertise: learning modeling software, sourcing compatible components, designing enclosures, wiring, firmware, and finding someone to manufacture it all.<p>We experienced this firsthand while prototyping a home AI device we wanted to build. We didn't have too much experience in hardware and every step opened up more questions.<p>We spent so much time figuring out the process before we could make progress on the thing itself, so we built Confetti to make it easier to get started.<p>Confetti puts the whole process on one platform, driven by natural language:<p>- CAD: generate and edit 3D designs from text or image prompts<p>- Electronics: automatic sourcing for compatible off-the-shelf parts, wiring, and firmware<p>- Manufacturing: get quotes and place orders to get parts sent straight to your doorstep<p>- Community: share, remix, and personalize builds from other makers for yourself<p>In the same way that AI has made it much easier for people to build software, we think that we can use AI to enable a lot more people to start building the ideas they have for physical projects too.<p>We would love to hear feedback that you have, what sort of bugs and issues you run into, and features you'd like to see!<p><a href="https://confetti.build/">https://confetti.build/</a>
