SnapChip Unveils First AI Component Sourcing Tool on ChatGPT

VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON. September 11th, 2024 - SnapChip, a leading innovator in AI-driven technology for the electronics industry, is proud to announce the release of SnapChipGPT, the first-ever custom GPT for electronic component search. 

Built on OpenAI’s advanced GPT-4 architecture, SnapChipGPT transforms how users access real-time electronic component data, making it possible to search, compare, and source components within the ChatGPT interface.

This groundbreaking release introduces real-time price and stock information directly into ChatGPT, allowing users to search for electronic components by part number or description, ask questions about pricing, stock levels, and technical specifications, and even interact directly with datasheets—all within a seamless chat experience. The integration of these tools empowers engineers, procurement professionals, and electronics manufacturers to make faster, more informed decisions with unprecedented ease and efficiency.

“SnapChipGPT is a major step forward in providing real-time sourcing data at the user’s fingertips,” said Everett Frank, CEO of SnapChip. “This new ChatGPT tool combines the power of AI with critical data access, removing time-consuming barriers and improving overall workflow. We are thrilled to provide users with such a dynamic tool, especially as we prepare to introduce further innovations like BOM uploads and alternate part cross-referencing.”

SnapChipGPT is built to deliver the same exceptional sourcing speeds as the original SnapChip platform, providing real-time access to more than 1 billion components through data partners like Octopart. Users can now interact with this vast dataset while leveraging GPT’s industry-leading AI to perform complex sourcing tasks quickly and accurately.
