Riven – Sign-Off AI Agent
Riven Sign-Off AI Agent
Riven Sign-Off AI Agent enables design and verification engineers to achieve up to 10X faster sign-off across all Real Intent static sign-off tool workflows.
Riven leverages agentic and generative AI to enable engineering teams to accelerate product knowledge, error analysis, and automated debug.
Riven’s AI analysis uniquely leverages Real Intent’s proven ground-truth violation analysis across the targeted application domains. It includes an industry-standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface to enable customers and partners to extend Riven’s AI functionality by integrating their own proprietary data and workflows.
Riven’s 10X faster sign-off: Knowledge base, violation review, & debug
Real Intent’s new Riven sign-off agent dramatically reduces engineering effort by accelerating static sign-off review and closure. It achieves its 10X faster throughput by leveraging generative and agentic AI to enable engineers to automate Real Intent sign-off product workflows. Riven analyzes design failures while applying its extensive product and workflow knowledge to deliver this breakthrough.
Some sample use cases for Riven are listed below.
Fast, expert tool knowledge access
Design and verification engineers can use Riven to quickly access expert knowledge, such as technical instructions, best practices, and error message meanings.
The engineers are not required to navigate large document sets or have deep familiarity with each product’s commands and output.
Violation analysis & prioritization
The engineer can point Riven to their workspace and ask it to review the design database and flag the most critical violations in their block or SoC. Riven then analyzes the relevant design component to direct the engineer to the highest priority violations.
Error root cause identification
Engineers can ask Riven to find the root cause for a specific error. They can also ask Riven to suggest a possible fix for a given error.
Riven will make a recommendation, which the engineer can modify or accept, before rerunning the static sign-off tool.
Accuracy, Extensibility, Integration
Ground-Truth Accuracy
Riven’s AI leverages Real Intent’s proven ground-truth violation analysis across the targeted application domains – RTL linting, microarchitectural integrity, clock domain crossing, reset domain crossing, design for test, connectivity & glitch, and hardware security.
MCP support for custom LLM agents
Real Intent enables customers and partners to extend Riven’s AI functionality by integrating their own custom LLM agents and workflows via an industry-standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface.
VS Code and IDE Integration
Riven also features integration with popular IDEs such as VS Code.
Key Takeaways: Riven – Sign-Off AI Agent
This section summarizes how Riven, Real Intent’s sign-off AI agent, delivers up to 10X faster static sign-off by applying agentic and generative AI across Real Intent’s static sign-off workflows, enabling engineers to accelerate sign-off closure across complex SoC designs.
