# AllSpice Demos Home

Welcome to the AllSpice demo workspace.

This environment is designed to show how modern hardware teams run version control, collaboration, and AI-powered design review inside a single system of record.

If you are evaluating AllSpice, start here.
If you like, you can jump to [repository search](https://hub.allspice.io/AllSpice-Demos/-/repositories)

AllSpice helps hardware teams:
- Collaborate on ECAD projects with Git-based version control
- Run structured, traceable design reviews
- Catch high-impact issues early with AI-powered first-pass checks
- Scale engineering output without increasing risk

## What is DRCY?

DRCY is the AI-powered design-review intelligence layer inside AllSpice.

It runs consistent, auditable first-pass checks on real schematic data before human sign-off.

DRCY analyzes:
- Native schematic files
- Component metadata
- Referenced datasheets
- Repository context

It surfaces high-impact issues early, when fixes take hours instead of weeks.

Engineers stay in control. Every finding includes traceable evidence so you can inspect the reasoning and make the final call.

# AllSpice Actions Demo

<a href="https://hub.allspice.io/AllSpice-Demos/Actions-Demo"><img width="300px" src="https://hub.allspice.io/AllSpice-Demos/Actions-Demo/media/branch/main/images/actions-logo.png"></a>

Visit the [Actions Demo](https://hub.allspice.io/Actions-Demos) to see deterministic automation in action.

AllSpice Actions are best for:
- Rule-based checks defined in YAML
- Repetitive validation workflows
- Structured data enforcement

Use Actions for deterministic automation.  
Use DRCY for contextual, datasheet-aware design review.

Together, they create a modern hardware DevOps workflow.
