I break out blender every six months or so in order to create a model for 3d printing. It needs to be precise and often has threads or other repetitive structures.

Every. Single. Time. I spend at least the first 3 hours relearning how to use all the tools again with Claude reminding me where modifiers are, and which modifier allows what. And which hotkey slices. Etc etc.

I guess what if you had Claude in the app, and it didn't just tell you what to do, it could even surface ephemeral UI for each task?

This is really what generative UI would enable.

yeah but when you then need to do the same action 4 times in a row, getting claude to provide the correct action all 4 times takes a lot more brainpower on my part than just learning the menus yet again, right?
