Siemens, a German company with nearly $90 billion in revenue, announced the Questa One Agentic Toolkit, which brings domain-scoped agentic AI workflows to its Questa One chip tools.
The Quest One has a smart verification software portfolio to accelerate creation, verification planning, execution, debugging and closure to achieve trusted RTL sign-off faster while transforming how engineers approach integrated circuit (IC) design and verification tasks.
There aren’t enough humans to do some of this work. The verification productivity gap continues to widen as design complexity explodes with 3D ICs, chiplet-based architectures and software-defined systems.
The Questa One Agentic Toolkit transforms verification and design from isolated tool interactions into intelligent, domain scoped multi-step, framework-agnostic workflows powered by agentic AI – autonomous systems operating within the verification domain under customer-defined governance boundaries that can reason, plan and execute
complex tasks while maintaining configurable human oversight at critical decision
points directly within engineers’ existing environments.
“Questa One sets a new standard for smart verification and the Questa One Agentic Toolkit builds on those connected and data-driven principles with agentic AI workflows that empower our customers to achieve trusted design and verification closure with AI acceleration – while maintaining the human expertise and judgment that builds quality and trust,” said Abhi Kolpekwar, senior vice president of digital verification technologies at Siemens Digital Industries Software, in a statement. “We own the engines and we understand verification at the deepest level. It isn’t an afterthought or a wrapper; it’s the EDA industry’s most comprehensive verification solution enhanced with intelligent agentic AI workflows that work the way our customers expect and delivers the results they are demanding.”
Working with Fuse EDA AI system and beyond
The Questa One Agentic Toolkit works seamlessly with the Fuse EDA AI system, Siemens’ agentic and generative framework for electronic design automation, providing customers who want a fully integrated Siemens experience with optimized performance and deep integration.
It is Fuse-preferred, with enhanced capabilities when used within the Fuse environment. Recognizing that customer choice is paramount, the framework-agnostic architecture protects existing investments and integrates with other agentic platforms without compromise. Whether teams use existing or emerging frameworks, Questa One agentic workflows adapt to their environment with standardized interfaces that work consistently across platforms.
