AI Assistant in the Editor

Overview

This tutorial shows the productive AI Assistant workflow directly inside the confBuild editor. The screenshots were captured from the real app in a headed browser session on March 6, 2026, using the same editing surface as normal projects.

Step 1: Open the Add Object panel

The fastest entry point into the AI workflow is the Add button in the lower-right corner of the editor. It opens the same sidebar that also contains primitives, library items, and your own projects.

This capture marks the entry point for the Add Object workflow. As long as the project is editable, the button stays available directly on top of the 3D view.

Step 2: Switch the sidebar to AI Agent

After opening the sidebar, use the AI Agent tab to move into the prompt-based workspace. This keeps the library and AI workflow in the same panel.

The right sidebar stays docked while you keep editing the model. That makes it easy to switch between classic insert flows and AI-assisted modelling.

Step 3: Write the prompt and attach context

Inside the AI Agent view, describe the requested change in normal language. Before submitting, you can attach screenshots, formulas, values, images, or PDF files as extra context.

In this capture the prompt is already prepared. The attachment button expands the available context, and the submit button starts the actual AI request for the current project.
