Austin-based Circuit raised $30M to address manufacturing's knowledge drain crisis. With 1.9 million jobs projected unfilled by 2033 as experienced workers retire, the startup's AI captures technical expertise from manuals and schematics, transforming them into actionable workflows. Founded by former Silicon Labs CEO Tyson Tuttle, Circuit integrates with ERPs and CRMs to help teams configure, quote, and troubleshoot with confidence. This marks a significant shift toward purpose-built vertical AI that preserves institutional knowledge rather than replacing workers.
