Stillwind Search: A high-resolution search engine for electronic components. It leverages LLMs to extract over 130,000 properties into more than 1,000 schemas from a proprietary database. An AI agent (Sonnet 4.6) interactively queries this database to find parts based on complex specifications, with a separate model verifying data before display.

Solves the critical problem of time-consuming, tedious, and often ineffective electronic component search. Positions itself as a precise, time-saving solution that finds exact parts in minutes, not hours, for even the most complex specifications.

The electronic component sourcing market is inefficient, causing significant friction for engineers and PCB designers. Stillwind directly addresses this by transforming a manual, time-intensive process into an efficient, AI-driven query. Leveraging LLMs for deep property extraction and an AI agen...
