CAD-Assistant creates a new paradigm for AI-assisted design by using vision-language models as intelligent planners that can interact directly with CAD software.

• Transforms multimodal user queries into executable CAD commands
• Iteratively builds designs through Python API integration with FreeCAD
• Provides real-time geometry assessment and feedback
• Demonstrates a practical application of tool-augmented LLMs for specialized technical domains

This research represents a significant advancement for engineering workflows, potentially reducing design time, increasing accessibility of CAD tools, and enabling more intuitive human-computer interaction in technical design processes.
