AI for your Rhino and Grasshopper workflow! Raven helps turn your ideas into models quickly. Imagine integrating AI into your modeling flow. Not to automate your creativity away, but to empower it. Here’s what Raven does and what to expect from the demo: - Integrated CAD-AI system that works deeply within Grasshopper - Fresh design exploration from simple text prompts or sketched images - Logic scripts are generated for you, letting you think freely and model fast - Deep multimodal knowledge that mediates context, environment, and aesthetics into bold solutions Whether you’re a: - Designer balancing high complexity in every project - Creative technologist seeking tools that think with you - Computational architect pushing parametric workflows further Unlock Rhino's full power with Raven, an innovative AI application by Moritz that makes complex computational design accessible! Raven transforms how architects interact with Grasshopper and Rhino, enabling users to **program Grasshopper scripts using natural language** via a chat interface. Moritz created Raven to bridge the gap between intuitive design thinking and precise digital execution, making advanced tools available even to traditional architects. *Key Aspects of Raven:* * *Problem Solved:* Addresses the difficulty and time to master digital CAD tools, enabling architects to utilize powerful features like simulations or complex facade iterations more easily. * *Ease of Use:* Users interact with Raven via chat, providing text or image inputs (sketches) to generate/edit Grasshopper models. It offers a one-click install directly into Rhino. * *Core Use Cases:* Facilitates scaling technical know-how within firms, expanding tool accessibility (e.g., daylight simulations), and rapid early-stage design scripting. * *User Control & Iteration:* Users retain full control over their Grasshopper models, can manually edit, and undo any changes. Short, high-information prompts are recommended; avoid over-detailing with other LLMs. * *Plugin Compatibility:* Uniquely supports any Grasshopper plugins or custom user objects, integrating with proprietary scripts. * *Community & Privacy:* Raven is community-driven. User data is on European servers, and Raven does not train on user prompts directly (though it tracks errors for improvement). Enterprise options available. * *Business Model & Future:* Credit-based, free/paid tiers, bootstrapped, revenue-generating. Plans include Rhino Inside Revit integration. *Generalized Timestamps:* * *0:00* Introduction & Raven's Purpose * *4:30* Challenge of Digital Tools & AI's Role * *8:00* Raven's Vision & Key Use Cases * *12:00* Getting Started & Community Focus * *16:00* Live Demo: Building Massing & Facades * *26:00* Prompting Best Practices * *30:00* Pricing & Data Security * *34:00* Integration & Existing Scripts * *41:00* Live Demo: Image Input Design * *56:00* Raven's Uniqueness & Future Roadmap
