MakeGPT, the world's first AI hardware copilot, officially launched in Tamil Nadu at Umagine 2026, enabling users to transform natural language prompts into production-ready IoT prototypes in hours instead of weeks. The platform supports 60+ hardware components and has already demonstrated impact at IIT Madras, where over 80 students rapidly built working prototypes, while accelerators can now guide 3-4x more cohort members to prototype stage in the same timeframe. This IIT Madras-incubated innovation represents a fundamental shift in hardware development, democratizing access for students and entrepreneurs regardless of coding experience and positioning Tamil Nadu as a hub for AI-driven hardware innovation.
