AI agents that generate final answers based on user input often do not meet the needs of creative fields. Fields such as structural design and architecture need interactive systems that help users externalise and develop ideas, explore alternatives, and refine partial solutions.
Researchers developed an automated framework that helps AI models generate CAD programs more accurately and efficiently.

The article discusses how large language models (LLMs) are transforming electronic design automation (EDA) by moving beyond isolated task assistance to a hierarchical framework of roles: Generator, Agent, and Orchestrator. It highlights that current LLM-based solutions often produce plausible but not physically correct hardware, suffer from fragmented tools, and lose design context, which hampers scalability to industrial designs. The authors argue for a standardized, physics-aware Orchestrator that integrates tools and agents across the EDA flow to improve reliability and accessibility of hardware design.
