Built for how you actually design
Natural language meets native CAD integration. Three modes that adapt to your workflow, powered by the best AI models.
Core Capabilities
Everything you need to accelerate your design workflow without leaving your CAD tool.
Natural Language Commands
Describe what you want to create in plain English. Cadio translates your words into precise CAD commands - no scripting or manual modeling required.
Step-by-Step Execution
Review and control each action before it happens. Pause, modify, or skip individual steps. You stay in control of every change to your model.
Context-Aware
Cadio understands your current selection, active layers, and model state. It suggests relevant operations based on what you're working on right now.
Non-Destructive
Every operation is fully reversible. Undo individual steps, revert entire sequences, or roll back to any previous state. Your original work is always safe.
Multi-Platform
One AI assistant across Rhino, Grasshopper, AutoCAD, and SolidWorks. Same natural language interface, adapted to each platform's capabilities.
Extensible
Cadio works alongside your existing scripts and plugins. Use it to generate code, automate repetitive tasks, or extend your custom workflows.
Three Modes for Every Task
Switch between modes to match your intent - from exploring ideas to executing complex operations.
Plan Mode
Review AI's step-by-step plan before any changes are made. Perfect for complex operations where you want full control.
- Preview every step before execution
- Approve, modify, or reject individual steps
- Understand AI reasoning at each stage
Ask Mode
Query your model without modifying it. Get insights, measurements, and recommendations from your current design state.
- Read-only analysis of your model
- Ask about geometry, properties, or relationships
- Get design suggestions without changes
Build Mode
Real-time geometry generation with live feedback. Execute operations directly and see results immediately.
- Instant geometry creation and modification
- Full undo/redo support
- Iterative refinement with live updates
Powered by Multi-Model AI
We use the best model for each task - automatically selected for optimal results.
Claude (Anthropic)
Spatial reasoning and geometry
Excels at understanding 3D spatial relationships, complex geometric operations, and translating natural language into precise CAD commands.
GPT-4o (OpenAI)
Complex planning and analysis
Powers multi-step planning, design analysis, and understanding complex project requirements that span multiple operations.
Automatic Model Selection
Cadio automatically routes your requests to the optimal model based on task type, complexity, and context.
Native Plugin Architecture
Cadio runs directly inside your CAD tool - not in a browser. True integration means real-time context and zero friction.
Runs Inside Your Tool
Native C# plugin runs directly in your CAD viewport
Context Aware
Understands your selection, layers, and model state
Chat in Viewport
Dockable panel keeps Cadio within arm's reach
Fast Execution
Commands execute instantly through native APIs
