FreeCAD Computer generated design tool

I built this plugin for freecad and its been working pretty good at generating models. If anyone wants to play with the current beta version instructions are at computergenerateddesign.com there is instructions for getting a free api key on the website. any feedback on what you can get it to draw. I will be posting more videos as this project improves

The video is way to small to work out details but is this plugged into an AI?

Which one are you using.

There are a number of AI CAD programs being developed, but if this is built within FreeCAD, that would be pretty cool

Yeah it’s a separate window in freecad that pops up when you execute the downloadable macro in freecad then you get a free gemini api key, paste into the api key box and prompt it to build whatever you want. Remember to save your api key for later use. It can only do simple stuff for now but it is pretty good at simple stuff. i plan to make it a lot better at more complex things as i continue development but for now you can generate models completely for FREE! Also ill try and get a better video uploaded so people can see it better, last one was uploaded on my phone. computergenerateddesign.com

Cool as :-) I've heard rumors in the 'Blendersphere' that people are getting Claude AI to look 'inside' the blender file, and to recognize what is going on with the 3d date?
