Three steps from idea to parts list

No forms to fill out. Just describe what you're making and answer a few quick questions.

STEP 01

Describe your project

Paste a project description, paste a parts list, or just say what you want to build in plain language.

STEP 02

Answer three questions

What tools do you have? What's your budget? Do you want cheapest, fastest, or beginner-friendly parts?

STEP 03

Get a sourced BOM

Claude finds the parts, checks real prices, and explains why each one fits your setup. With actual links.

Every part comes with the full story

Most BOM tools give you a part number. PartPilot gives you the reasoning — why this part, not that one, and what tradeoffs you should know about.

Supplier link — Direct link to the exact product, not a search result

Spec summary — Voltage, current, torque — just the specs that actually matter for your build

Price + total — Per unit and per BOM row, estimated in real-time

Tier classification — Fast (Adafruit/Amazon) / Cheap (LCSC/AliExpress) / Pro (Digikey)

Confidence rating — Honest High / Medium / Low — we tell you when we're not certain

Alternatives — 1-2 alternatives with a tradeoff note, so you can choose your own adventure

Fast tier

"Wide 240MHz dual-core, WiFi + BLE 5.0, plenty of IO for most maker projects. This board has Qwiic-compatible STEMMA QT pins — you can daisy-chain I2C sensors without new wiring. Better specs than the basic ESP32-WROOM, similar price. USB-C is a bonus for modern laptops."

High confidence Alt: SparkFun ESP32 Thing Plus C

Every row in the BOM looks like this — with reasoning, links, and alternatives
