Electronic Design Automation (EDA) is a class of highly technical enterprise software used by engineers to design chips. Traditionally, commercial EDA tools are expensive and only within reach of companies with a large scale business case and significant funding. The OpenROAD project is an industry-supported effort out of the UC San Diego VLSI CAD Laboratory to democratize hardware design to drastically lower the barriers of cost and expertise to take chips from design in RTL to layout with “no human in the loop”. We spearheaded the efforts for OpenROAD Cloud: a first-of-its-kind SaaS solution for managing the RTL-to-GDSII processes via a web browser.

In collaboration with Seitzler Strategies, we leveraged our AI expertise to develop Aimee (Artificial Intelligence Media Evaluation Engine), a powerful solution designed to analyze and measure media content comprehensively. Planorama’s generative AI R&D team crafted advanced algorithms capable of evaluating the content and characteristics such as style, tone, frequency, geographical distribution of news content, and much more. This sophisticated analysis allows Aimee to provide a detailed comparison of local news content, offering invaluable competitive insights into the media landscape. This collaboration demonstrates Planorama’s capability to harness the latest in generative AI technology to address specific industry challenges, ensuring clients can finely tune their media strategies to gain a competitive edge.
