Products that do what Camfer – An AI CAD Copilot does
Hi, my name’s Arya! I’m a software engineer who loves to CAD and design cool things. Keaton, Roth, Clark, and myself have been building https://camfer.dev for the last year. We’re excited to show v0 of camfer - a tool that lets you use AI with your favorite CAD platforms. The camfer desktop app connects to Solidworks as a smart sidebar. Like Cursor for CAD. The tool takes in your CAD environment (open part + selections) and either answers questions or follows your instructions to create/edit designs natively in Solidworks. Download link:…

My friend and I have been working on Arcad for some months now. It's a free browser-based parametric CAD tool aimed at hobbyists and makers. It has editable feature history, solid modeling powered by OpenCascade, STEP export and touch controls for tablets, although it's primarily made for PC use. Everything runs in the browser and you can try it without creating an account or installing anything. Currently in beta although we feel like it's ready for a full launch. Any feedback is appreciated! Link: https://app.arcad.studio Docs: https://www.arcad.studio/docs

Hey HN community! Over the past year, AI copilots like Cursor and Windsurf have fueled a dramatic shift in software engineering workflows. And yet, many technical users in adjacent fields like data science and analytics have been unable to reap the rewards of this revolution. It turns out that the existing tools are a poor match for analytical workloads. Beyond that Cursor and similar tools have very poor support for Jupyter notebooks, data science is a fundamentally different discipline from software engineering and we believe it requires a correspondingly different tool. We're excited to…

I'd like to share a new workbench I've been working on called DiffCAD. Coming from a software engineering background, not having the ability to properly diff my CAD model changes was driving me crazy. This project scratches my own itch, and maybe someone elses', too! I'm open to feedback, ideas, and contributions. Cheers!

Vibe coded app that enables developers to quickly create so called "rules for AI" used by tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor and Windsurf, through an interactive, visual interface.

Hi HN, I'm thrilled to share with you think, a command-line tool that I developed while diving back into the programming scene. For the past few years, my focus had shifted from hands-on programming to managerial roles, my last one being at Affirm (I started Affirm's Polish office). However, I recently left my job to revisit my passion for coding and see if I could still write code that works. Not to mention that with what is currently going on in AI if you are a developer this probably the best possible time for a sabbatical in human history :) My first attempt was with LangChain, but I…

Hi HN, I’ve spent the last decade building hardware products like humanoid robots, 3D printers, and self-driving tractors. I needed a tool to navigate technical documents faster, so I created one with friends. This tool helps with component search, cross-referencing, comparison, and debugging. We’d love your feedback, whether you find it useful or not. Thank you! Try it here: www.convergelab.ai

Hello Hacker News! We're excited to introduce DeskFlow, an AI-driven Slack and Microsoft Teams bot, designed to streamline HR and IT operations in your workspace. DeskFlow harnesses LLM to provide immediate answers to HR and IT related queries, functioning like an in-house expert. Its features include instant access to your knowledge base and HR system, automatic ticket routing, and soon, auto-drafting responses to inquiries. By integrating DeskFlow directly into your communication channels, employees save time and boost productivity by eliminating the need to switch context or apps. We'd…

It uses your local Claude and GitHub CLI and git worktrees, so there's nothing to configure beyond what you already have. Our AI coding workflow was a hodgepodge of scripts and ad-hoc processes, so we built this to centralize and streamline - and most importantly adapt as things change. Some cool features so far (lots more planned): 1. One click github issue to agent working on it. 2. Ratcheting mode, where it watches CI for code review comments and build failures, and automatically fixes them. Would love genuine feedback, bug reports, PRs, suggestions, etc.
