About Kilby

Kilby is an AI engineer for embedded teams. Assign a ticket like you would to a colleague: a bug, a feature, a driver. Kilby writes the code and tests it on your hardware. A human engineer reviews it before you get the pull request.

What Kilby does

Kilby works where your team already works, on the ticket, and tests on real hardware instead of stopping at the code.

  • Developer: Takes tickets, small to large: bugs, features, drivers and CRA reports. Every change is tested on your board.
  • Support engineer: Reproduces the report on the bench and measures what happens on the board.
  • Test engineer: Every night Kilby flashes the day's work and runs the regression tests on hardware.
  • Spec keeper: Reads your firmware, tickets and documents, and keeps one spec next to the code. Every change updates it.

How humans stay in charge

  • If something is unclear, Kilby asks on the ticket and waits for an answer.
  • An engineer sets the limit on every bench output. A request past the limit is refused, not quietly capped.
  • A human engineer reviews everything before it reaches you.
  • Your team keeps priorities, architecture and the merge button.

Where the name comes from

Kilby is named after Jack Kilby. In 1958, at Texas Instruments, he built the first integrated circuit. The proof was a sine wave on an oscilloscope, which is why our Kilby's face is two traces on a scope screen.

Where Kilby stands today

Kilby is built in Belgium and open through a waitlist. Join the waitlist to talk about a pilot, or mail hi@kilby.be.
