It first uses the hog API to identify potential customers, for example a mechanical parts quality engineer at NASA, by scanning platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Reddit, then converts the patent PDF into an image and uses text-to-CAD with CADQuery to generate geometry. Using an evolutionary algorithm paired with an LLM, it evolves the design to improve novelty, manufacturability, and physics, increasing a baseline score. The output includes an invention card, LLM reasoning, and a manufacturing brief, shown with a shock absorber example where struts and a loft improve strength and load paths for additive manufacturing.</description></oembed>
