These docs cover RhinoArtisan 7.0, which is still in beta. The contents are provisional: features and pages can still be added, changed or removed before the final release.

Productivity

Assistant

Assistant, powered by the best models available.

Assistant is an intelligent companion inside RhinoArtisan — not a design tool itself, but a layer that supports, guides and automates the tasks that surround creation.

It understands your libraries, walks you through workflows, retrieves technical information, checks production details, prepares reports and helps you reuse what already exists.

The best models available

Assistant connects to the frontier models from Anthropic and OpenAI, and through OpenRouter to the best of the rest — Mistral in Europe, DeepSeek in China. Pick the model that fits the task, the budget or your company’s policy.

Because the model runs online, Assistant runs on any computer. No workstation, no dedicated GPU, no local setup — if RhinoArtisan runs, Assistant runs.

What it actually does

Assistant is not a chatbot bolted onto the side of RhinoArtisan: it reads the design you have open and it runs the same commands you do.

  • It knows the piece. Every message carries a snapshot of the current design — type, metals, ring size, layers — and Assistant can pull the full picture on demand: elements and their parameters, the pricing breakdown, the Boutique data.
  • It answers questions. How many stones does it have? What does it weigh? What’s the price in 18k white?
  • It changes the design. Ring size, metal, stone shape and carat, prong count, element parameters — described in plain language, applied to the real parametric model.
  • It prepares the work. Reports, dimensions, STL export for printing, production setup, the breakdown to Excel, render materials and view.
  • It asks before acting. Read-only questions are answered straight away; anything that changes the document is proposed first, with Apply and Cancel buttons. Nothing happens behind your back.
