Hestus
www.hestus.co/ →Autocomplete for CAD is here
WHAT IT SOLVES
60% of a CAD session is repetitive clicks and menu diving — actual design thinking gets buried
WHY IT'S INTERESTING
No text prompts — it autocompletes natively inside CAD
Instead of a chat box where you describe parts in text, Hestus reads your sketch in real time, predicts your next move, and finishes it with one keystroke. That's AI built for CAD's language — not ChatGPT duct-taped to a 3D viewport
2.5x faster, 4x fewer clicks
These aren't vanity numbers — 'understanding design intent' means training on massive CAD interaction data. Every click eliminated is proof the model actually predicts accurately
Demo shows beta features — public release isn't live yet
The site explicitly says the demo showcases beta features available only to select users — no 'download and go' pretense. Honest framing
「Less clicking. More designing」
TECH GUESS
Likely a plugin architecture for major CAD platforms (SolidWorks/Fusion 360 tier), with a transformer model predicting sketch sequences server-side
