Why is CAD hard to solve with AI?

Turning thoughts into complex mechanical designs

Zookeeper, our conversational CAD agent, is built into Zoo Design Studio. Building on our Text-to-CAD experience, we added research and reasoning capabilities and engine-level tools that let the agent inspect, snapshot, and debug geometry while generating production-ready CAD. Whether starting from scratch or iterating on an existing design, Zookeeper leverages ML tuned for real-world manufacturing workflows.
