Core offerings include:

Agentic chip design
Chip verification
Physical design automation
Agent-native engineering tools
Custom AI models
Design intelligence

Leadership Comments

"Building production-grade agents that reliably automate real engineering work is far from easy — that's the problem Agentrys exists to solve," said Mark Ren, Founder and CEO of Agentrys. "We help engineering teams turn manual workflows into an agentic workforce that designs chips faster, delivers better results, and systematically improves in capability over time.

"We believe semiconductor R&D has its own unique domain specificity in agentic AI development,” said Brian Hsu, Managing Director of MediaTek Innovation Fund. "Agentrys envisions a builder solution that enables semiconductor engineering teams to customize and improve AI agents for chipset design workflows.
