🚀 AI-Powered GDL Generator – Would This Be Useful for You? 🤖📐

 

Hello everyone! 👋

 

We’re exploring the idea of an AI-powered tool that generates GDL code based on natural language descriptions. Imagine simply describing the object you need, and the AI instantly produces the GDL script—no manual coding required! 🏗

 

Potential Features:

Text-to-GDL Conversion – Describe an object, get a functional GDL script.

Live Code Suggestions – AI assists in optimizing and debugging GDL code.

GDL Library Enhancement – Generate parametric objects quickly for Archicad.

Smart Learning – The AI improves over time based on user input.

 

Before going further, we’d love your thoughts and feedback:

💡 Would this be useful for you?

💰 Would you consider paying for a tool like this?

🔧 What features would make it truly valuable?

 

We’re still in the early development stage, so your input would be incredibly helpful in shaping the future of this tool! Looking forward to your insights. 🚀

I would love to help! And get involved!

Absolutely, I think it's even essential for many agencies that do custom work. A connection with a powerful generative AI would be a real plus. A simple and effective no-code solution.

I'm currently testing basic generation AIs and there are some encouraging results.

Would love it too. Tried out several AI's on GDL so far, but none of them gave me functional code, but they where able to help me understand some parameters on some commmands better. Not complete useless so far for me. But there is much room for "evolution", i think. Yes - work on it- please.

It seems like Copilot is starting to be better at GDL now. But far from perfect 🙂

Definitely would be useful. 
Personally I would love it if it worked similar to the AI copilot chat in VSCode, but actually taking the code that you’ve already written and amending that. And showing you the changes it’s made that you can accept or decline each change.  More as a guiding hand, than a completely hands off, do everything for me approach. 
Also the ability for the AI to be able to create parameters too is essential. 
A free plan with reasonable limits would be ideal, to be able give it some really good testing and  justify the cost of a premium cost to yourself of company management. 
Are you thinking built inside Archicad as an API or a standalone application that would build a gsm?
