Welcome to Cadio Beta!

We're thrilled to announce the launch of Cadio's beta program - a revolutionary AI-powered design assistant that brings natural language commands to your favorite CAD tools.

What is Cadio?

Cadio transforms the way you work with CAD software by integrating AI directly into your design workflow. Instead of memorizing complex commands or navigating through multiple menus, you can simply describe what you want to create in plain English.

Whether you're modeling in Rhino 3D, creating mechanical designs in Solidworks, drafting in AutoCAD, or creating parametric designs in Grasshopper, Cadio understands your intent and generates the precise commands automatically.

How Does It Work?

Cadio installs as a native plugin directly inside your CAD software:

  • Cadio for Rhino - Talk to Rhino using natural language
  • Cadio for Solidworks - Describe parts and assemblies in plain English
  • Cadio for AutoCAD - Type what you want to draft
  • Cadio for Grasshopper - Describe parametric relationships naturally

Simply open the Cadio chat panel within your CAD tool and start describing what you want to create. Cadio's AI translates your natural language prompts into precise CAD operations, generating geometry in real-time as you type.

What Can You Do With Cadio?

Rhino 3D

  • Create complex 3D geometries with simple descriptions
  • Automate parametric modeling workflows
  • Generate building forms from natural language
  • Iterate on designs faster than ever

Solidworks

  • Generate parts and assemblies automatically
  • Create mechanical components with AI assistance
  • Automate drawing creation and management
  • Speed up design documentation

AutoCAD

  • Create floor plans from descriptions
  • Automatically dimension technical drawings
  • Place blocks and furniture with natural language
  • Automate repetitive drafting tasks

Grasshopper

  • Generate parametric definitions through conversation
  • Create complex algorithmic designs
  • Explore generative design options
  • Simplify computational workflows

Beta Program Details

We're offering free unlimited access to all Cadio features during our beta program. This is your chance to:

  • ✅ Be among the first to experience AI-powered CAD design
  • ✅ Shape the future of Cadio with your feedback
  • ✅ Access all platforms (Rhino, Solidworks, AutoCAD, Grasshopper)
  • ✅ Join a community of innovative architects and engineers
  • ✅ Get priority support from our team

Limited Spots Available

We're accepting a limited number of beta users to ensure we can provide the best possible experience and support. If you haven't joined our waitlist yet, sign up now to secure your spot.

Getting Started

Once you receive your beta invitation, you'll get:

  1. Welcome email with your unique access token
  2. Setup instructions for installing the Cadio plugin
  3. Quick start guide for your preferred CAD platform
  4. Direct line to our support team

The setup process takes less than 10 minutes. Install the Cadio plugin, enter your access token, and start talking to your CAD tool immediately.

Why Now?

AI is transforming every industry, and architecture and engineering are no exception. The tools we've been using for decades - while powerful - were designed for a different era.

We believe that design should be as simple as describing what you want. Your creativity shouldn't be limited by technical knowledge of commands or software interfaces. With Cadio, the barrier between imagination and creation is finally disappearing.

What's Next?

Over the coming months, we'll be:

  • 📚 Publishing comprehensive tutorials and guides
  • 🎯 Adding support for additional CAD platforms
  • 🤖 Integrating more AI models and capabilities
  • 🚀 Refining features based on your feedback

Join the Revolution

The future of CAD design is conversational, intelligent, and accessible. We're building that future, and we want you to be part of it.
