FreeCAD AI adds a chat panel to FreeCAD that turns natural-language descriptions into FreeCAD Python code and runs it, with a Plan mode to review code first and an Act mode with structured FreeCAD tools. It works with many AI providers, including local models through Ollama, and can also run as an MCP server for outside AI clients. Its developer describes it as alpha software.

Alpha software: its README warns of rough edges and occasional FreeCAD crashes, and says it is developed and tested on Linux. Needs FreeCAD 1.0 or later and an AI provider (a local Ollama model works).
