Modo compresses that. Describe what you want (e.g. “a portable CO2 monitor with a display and buzzer”) and it generates:
- A bill of materials with real components (MPNs, not hallucinated parts)
- A printable enclosure generated from actual part dimensions
- Wiring diagrams, firmware boilerplate, and assembly instructions
- Design validation (power budget, pin conflicts, mechanical fit)
Everything streams in real time as each phase completes.
The key idea is constraining the system to a curated component database so it can’t invent parts, then using datasheet dimensions to drive enclosure geometry.

Curious what people here would try building, and where this breaks down.
