Describe a Circuit in English, Get a Schematic and Explanation

Hi HN! I built a small tool that lets you describe simple circuits in plain English and get a schematic. You can then ask follow up questions like "whats the voltage drop across R1?" or "How would you calculate the Thevenin equivalent resistance?" Emphasis on simple—right now it handles very basic circuits (think: 1 voltage source, a few resistors, maybe a cap). I built it because I am a mechanical engineer by training and sometimes forget basic EE. LLM's are making it so quick and easy to understand codebases, I thought it would be cool to try and build the same for circuits. It's a prototype for now, but I think it could eventually be really useful for autodidacts, students, and engineers looking to brush up their circuit theory. Would love feedback on whether others think this might be useful. Link: https://circuit-tutor.xyz/
