# BoardRepo: a browser workspace for PCB designs

A web tool for saving, inspecting and versioning KiCad circuit boards, with an AI assistant that can open an open-source board and edit it. It is software for working on hardware, not a physical build.

## Story

BoardRepo is a hosted workspace where a KiCad board can be stored, viewed as schematic, PCB and 3D model in the browser, and compared across versions. The page shows an example board, OtterCastAudioV2, with a parts list, a revision history and a team permission view.

The page also demonstrates an AI assistant connection. In the example, the assistant finds the open-source b-parasite soil sensor, explains its parasitic capacitor moisture sensing circuit, and changes one resistor to make the light sensor more sensitive, saving the result as a new version in the user's workspace.

Pricing tiers are listed as free for individuals, with custom pricing for teams and enterprises. This entry describes the web tool itself; it does not document a physical object.

AI assistants can search all Afterware builds through the MCP server at https://afterware.xyz/mcp (setup: https://afterware.xyz/agents).
