Show HN: Agent Otto – Fully costed BOMs of electronic components
I built agentotto.com as a response to a problem in the electronic manufacturing industry. From large companies like Foxconn to engineering departments to hobbyists, it is extremely time-consuming and labor intensive to find in-stock components in a comprehensive manner. Services like Octopart (YCombinator alum) work hard to make this easy, they don't take into account things like overages, tape and reeling needs, and cross referencing.
Agent Otto combines big data and good old fashioned smart-people to provide fully costed BOMs in a matter of days (typical turnaround of RFQ BOMs at CMs is usually measured in weeks). Would love feedback if anyone is experiencing the same problem of getting BOMs populated with price and delivery info in a timely manner.
