OK, the whats the endgame for flooding the zone with agent outputs question aside:

The visualization of what the agents are up to in the "office" on the dashboard is incredibly cute.

I thought so too... but if you refresh the page, it's just a pre-baked animation. A fun idea for somebody though; a little aquarium full of bots doing fake office tasks (I'm sure it's been done already).

If you participate in certain online communities where posts used to generally share real ideas and ask real beginner questions, you get tired of it. I am especially tired of seeing "it's not X - it's Y" on /r/MachineLearning posts, claiming that they've found some "geometry" or basic PyTorch code which they think will solve AI hallucinations. And it's becoming clear these people are not just doing this sort of a thing on a whim, but spending days in delusional conversations with the AI.

Isn't that just the state of every ai-related subreddit at this point?

Excited to see AI integrations into more non-text-related applications (coding, spreadsheets, proofreading etc). As someone who only occasionally needs to edit videos for product / feature reels, I'd happily ask an AI to "sync the narration to the video, cut away irrelevant footage, and add transitions". The convenience of being able to automate simple, repeatable tasks in creative software via ai is something that gets overshadowed a lot by the agentic coding discussions. I can only imagine the nightmare it would be for a tool like Premier to integrate effective ai features, so new ai-in-mind tools really feel like a necessity.

Great website and good luck!

I'm sure the Trump supporters who voted for him to "end all wars" are going to be strongly opposed to this.

As someone using Blender for ~7 years, with over 1000 answers on Blender Stack Exchange and total score of 48.000:

This tool is maybe useful if you want to learn Python, in particular Blender Python API basics, I don't really see other usage of this. All examples given are extremely simple to do; please don't use a tool like this, because it takes your prompt and generates the most bland version of it possible. It really takes only about a day to go through some tutorials and learn how to make models like these in Blender, with solid color or some basic textures. The other thousands of days is what you would spend on creating correct topology, making an armature, animating, making more advanced shaders, creating parametric geometry nodes setups... But simple models like these you can create effortlessly, and those will be YOUR models, the way (roughly, of course) how you imagined them. After a few weeks you're probably going to model them faster than the time it takes for prompt engineering. By that time your imagination, skill in Blender and understanding of 3D technicalities will improve, and it will keep improving moving onward. And what will you learn using this AI?

I think meshy.ai is much more promising, but still I think I'd only consider using it if I wanted to convert photo/render into a mesh with a texture properly positioned onto it, to then refine the mesh by sculpting - and sculpting is one of my weakest skills in Blender. BTW I made a test showcasing how meshy.ai works: https://blender.stackexchange.com/a/319797/60486

As a designer/dev working on AI for customer service tools, who has to constantly reminding stakeholders that LLMs aren't creative, aren't good at steering conversations, etc. I wish there was more focus on integrating AI into tools in ways that make work faster, rather than trying to do-it-all. There's still so much low-hanging fruit out there.

Other than the obvious (IDEs), wish there were more tools like Fusion360's ai auto-constraints. Saves so much time on something that is mostly tedious and uncreative. I could see similar integrations for Blender (honestly the most interesting part of what op posted is changing the materials... could save a lot of time spent connecting noodles).

Yeah, when it becomes cool to be anti AI or anti anything in HN for that matter, the takes start becoming ridiculous, if you just think back a couple of years, or even months ago and where we're now and you can't see it, I guess you're just dead set on dying on that hill.

4 years ago people were amazed when you could get GPT-3 to make 4-chan greentexts. Now people are unimpressed when GPT-5 codes a working language learning app from scratch in 2 minutes.
