Designing hardware means losing days to sourcing — hunting parts across stores, checking what fits, and balancing a budget by hand. BOM Squad fixes that. You need 10 parts. And mostly none of them are on the same website. Takes a lot of grind, and luck and research, with no guranteee that u wil even ever find it. BOM saves exactly this whole time for you. You describe a build in plain English ("a CoreXY 3D printer, ₹10,000 — I need a 32-bit mainboard, steppers, a hotend, and a PSU"). A crew of specialist agents, coordinating live through Band, takes it from there: • Intake structures your request into clear requirements. • Sourcing searches the live web for real, in-stock parts and prices — and recruits teammates into the room when needed. • A Specialist validates the build-defining component against the rest of the build. • Trust scores each seller for risk. • Budget totals the cart in code; if you're over budget it re-optimizes — swapping the priciest part for a cheaper real alternative until it fits — then hands the decision back to you. • A Replacement Scout is recruited only when a part can't be sourced. • With a lot other re-optimiziations. You approve the premium cart or the budget-fit one, and the order is saved with links to buy every part. The agent does the fetching, Maths to the code, and decision for you. Giving you near Zero Hallucination risk. (occurs cause of AI, sometimes.) Built solo for the BandHack by a mechatronics hobbyist who lived the problem.
