You make the object.
You learn the tool.

Creative software should help you find your feet.
Blender Assist is a first step toward that.

A working hackathon prototype.

Scene checks, grouped actions, visual context and learner feedback.
Next: more reliable reference matching and fewer repeated suggestions.

What this demo proves

The recording demonstrates the actual plugin UI and seven automatic checks during a prepared finishing sequence. It does not prove a complete autonomous build from a reference. An independent end-to-end test exposed accuracy and repetition issues. Read the test report.
