Real AI agent use cases, with sources and setup prompts

Turn your PCB design into a 3D electromagnetic visualization in Blender

A hardware designer who knows nothing about Blender gave GPT-6.1 Sol access to two folders: one with a PCB he designed and one with an empty Blender project. He asked for a 3D visualization of the board's electromagnetic behavior, aiming to make it easy to see rather than engineering-accurate.

What they did

A hardware designer who knows nothing about Blender gave GPT-6.1 Sol access to two folders: one with a PCB he designed and one with an empty Blender project. He asked for a 3D visualization of the board's electromagnetic behavior, aiming to make it easy to see rather than engineering-accurate.

Result (as claimed)

The model built the Blender scene from his board files without him learning Blender.

Tools they used

Cost: GPT-6.1 Sol: from $2 in / $10 out per 1M tokens.

Set it up

  1. Gather your sources

    Collect the papers, notes, links or files you want to work from in one place.

  2. Load them into the tool

    Open GPT-6.1 Sol, Blender, KiCad and add your sources. Keep the original files so you can check claims later.

  3. Ask focused questions

    Ask for summaries, comparisons or connections with citations to the source passages.

  4. Verify and save

    Spot check claims against the sources, then save the output as notes you can reuse.

Copy the full setup prompt

Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Please:
1. Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like).
2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure.
3. Then do the setup with me one step at a time, waiting for my OK before anything that sends messages, posts publicly, spends money or deletes data.
4. Finish with a checklist to run it again next time.
