How Zenode works
Zenode is an AI copilot for hardware development, built by hardware engineers to read component datasheets and find the best possible electronic components without needing to endlessly scroll through online part catalogs
Search electronic components using natural language
Just type in what you're looking for, and Zenode's LLM will search across the millions of parts in our database to find the best options.
Quickly evaluate possibilities
Set parametric filters to remove parts, and add additional context to improve AI rankings.
Review parts from different groups found by AI
Zenode looks for different groups of parts from within search results and suggests one from each to give you a starting place for review once you've exhausted known refinements
Open and Interact with parts and datasheets
Skip CTRL-F and ask the datasheet directly. All responses come with highlighted sources from within the datasheet.
Mark parts as relevant to improve rankings
Zenode identifies subgroups within results and displays example parts for review. Marking them as relevant (or not) quickly improves the result rankings using machine learning.
Frequently asked questions
How does Zenode work?
Zenode helps you search for electronic parts and datasheets using our custom built AI. We've curated a database of millions of parts and deconstructed their datasheets so you can search across them all. Whether you need to find a new part for your design, or search for information in a datasheet, Zenode helps you find it!
How much does Zenode cost?
Zenode is free, and as hardware engineers ourselves, we intend to keep it that way!
What kinds of queries can Zenode handle?
Any English language request will work! You can describe the part if you're not sure what you're looking for, you can list the specifications that you need if you know them or you can ask for the part by name or part number if you know it. The more details, the more precise the starting point for the search. Even if you don't have a lot of details to start, the search recommendations will help narrow down your options once you begin.
What information does the AI search during queries?
Our search engine uses AI to examine all of the part's metadata. It search things like descriptions, specifications and categories to help find what you're looking for. Soon, we'll even read through the datasheet for each part to find what you're looking for!
How many components does Zenode have?
We currently have ~10 million of the most popular parts in our database, but are adding millions more every week
I searched for parts containing X feature or specification, why am I seeing parts that don't include X in my results?
Depending on the feature X that you're looking for, the AI might not recognize it or misinterpreted what you were asking. If that's the case, you can add a follow up input to clarify what you need. If the feature is something filterable (like 'Input Voltage' or 'Packaging Type'), try setting a parametric filter that restricts the parts we search to those with that parameter. If it's still not getting it right, let us know; we'd love to see how you stumped it! Use the feedback feature on the right-hand side of the page; we read every submission!
Can Zenode halluncinate a part?
No. The AI is a tool to search for a part. But all of the components are sourced from our curated database of known parts. It's not possible to hallucinate a part because the AI doesn't generate them, it only finds them.
How do I request a feature or report an issue?
You can submit feedback from pretty much anywhere on the site, and we read every single submission. If you want to be part of the community helping us to build Zenode, join our Discord server!
