SurgePix

SurgePix

AI visuals. Edit every layer. Agent-callable.

Most AI image tools hand you one image and stop there. SurgePix keeps going. You can edit any layer, swap out text, repaint a specific region, and keep everything on brand by applying your brand kit. If you prefer to skip the interface, open-source agent skills let Claude Code and Cursor generate and edit visuals directly for you. It's built for people who need more control and consistency in their visual work.

zCAD AI

zCAD AI

AI 3D that creates real parts, not just shapes

zCAD AI Preview

zCAD. AI is a platform for generating parametric 3D models with natural language, made for designers, makers, and engineers. You describe a part or assembly in plain language, and it creates an editable, dimension-driven model built on real CAD geometry, not a static mesh. You can generate complete assemblies from a single prompt, with proper mates between parts. To refine, tell it what to change in plain language or edit dimensions directly in the browser CAD editor. When you are ready, export to STEP and open the result in any major CAD tool.
