AIDAChip

AIDAChip is developing an AI coordination platform for semiconductor engineering teams. Its Intent, Knowledge and Execution engines connect design decisions and constraints, accumulated engineering knowledge, and agents working across design tools. The Intent Engine propagates changes to affected colleagues; the Knowledge Engine captures expertise and lessons from ongoing work; and the Execution Engine runs simulations, checks design rules, parses logs and routes tasks for review. Together, they are designed to keep engineers and AI agents working from shared context while engineers retain judgment over important decisions.

Founder and CEO Khaled Alashmouny started AIDAChip after 13 years at Apple, where he led analog and mixed-signal design teams. His HAND framework illustrates the company's coordination approach through an internal team of scoped AI agents. Each maintains domain-specific context, defers decisions outside its responsibilities and communicates through shared logs and a knowledge base. The framework served as a proof of concept for the company's team-wide AI thesis.

In August 2026, AIDAChip described the platform as in active development with a design partner. Its early-access program accepts design-partner applications from teams building chips and advertises a beta planned for October 2026. Sukna Ventures invested in AIDAChip in 2026 through MENA Fund I.
