Re:Show HN: Hestus – AI Copilot for CAD on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @12:48AM (#41442004)
We are on the same page. We absolutely want to help out with most of those tasks as well. We especially want to help with part selection and BOM creation. However, material/inventory management I will admit, wasn't on our roadmap. Although absolutely important, we felt that there were many solutions already existing in that space. If I am wrong, I would love to chat more! Please ping us on the contact us page, and I'll try to get back to you!
Re:Show HN: Hestus – AI Copilot for CAD on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @12:41AM (#41441972)
Yes! would love to chat, please ping us on the contact page and I'll try to get back to you
Re:Show HN: Hestus – AI Copilot for CAD on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @12:37AM (#41441948)
Ha, we had similar thoughts. It is a path we want to go down eventually, but one step at a time :)
Re:Show HN: Hestus – AI Copilot for CAD on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @12:33AM (#41441918)
Sohrab and I have been in deep tech for most of our careers. For me personally, most of my background focused on system integration and design. Working closely with the mechanical engineers, I encountered multiple just annoying paper cuts that I felt could be solve with software. We hope that we can create software where it is just easier and faster to prototype and test things in real life. This release was our attempt of a first baby step in that overarching goal
Re:Show HN: Hestus – AI Copilot for CAD on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @12:28AM (#41441900)
We would love all the feedback possible! We want to make something that people want to use. Given that, we do want to eventually add features such as recommending fixes and best practices. Regarding a chat interface is something we want to tackle, but may be a little ways away :)
Re:Show HN: Hestus – AI Copilot for CAD on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @12:25AM (#41441882)
Great questions. This beta version uses very little, but we hope to incorporate more over time, hoping to get more accurate and better suggestions! If we can get the entire industry producing better products, everyone wins. This is something we feel passionate about, and think there must be a better way. I would love to get in contact with you to chat more!

Hi, we messed up. If you try downloading again, hopefully it should work. Sorry for the trouble
Re:Show HN: Hestus – AI Copilot for CAD on Tuesday September 03, 2024 @06:35PM (#41440023)
Yes. We messed up, if you redownload hopefully it will work! I'm sorry about that

Hi Luastoned, Can we get your contact info so that we can help diagnose the issue?

Show HN: Hestus – AI Copilot for CAD

https://www.hestus.co/

Hello! We’re Kevin and Sohrab from Hestus (https://www.hestus.co). We're working on an AI copilot for CAD. Today we're releasing a simple sketch helper for Fusion 360 and would love your feedback. Here’s a quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9n_eY-fM_E.Why we’re doing this: Mechanical engineers excel at generating initial design concepts but get bogged down translating ideas into final...
