Aircad brings professional CAD and AI into your browser tab

Aircad slipped into my browser tab while I wasn't looking, and now I'm not sure I want it to leave. It's a professional-grade CAD system that runs entirely in the browser, NURBS-based solid modeling, drafting tools, the works, with AI baked in rather than bolted on. The creator built it out of pure frustration with expensive, slow-to-improve desktop tools and web-based alternatives that either outsource performance to a server (looking at you, OnShape) or never scale beyond toy status. Aircad reads and writes DXF, DWG, STEP, and 3DM. It has version history, forking, and realtime collaboration that doesn't cost extra. And the AI agent works through a scripting API with a stage-and-commit workflow, so you see exactly what it's doing before it does it. It's the razor clam in the spec sheet.
