KnowCad
Finding the answer took longer than answering the question.
From a pile to an answer
Every step throws work away.
Everything
Technical knowledge spread across long documents, none of it indexed by the question you actually have.
What is relevant
Retrieval narrows the set to the passages that bear on the question.
The answer
One answer, with the source behind it and a human still reviewing the decision — not a list of places the answer might be.
Proof
What I can show, and why that is all.
The repository and the Autodesk materials are private, so there are no product screenshots on this page and no link to the code. What is public is the result, the write-up I posted at the time, and the description above.
My role
I worked on retrieval, the AI workflow, and getting the team’s work delivered in hackathon time.
Result
First place at the Autodesk Singapore AI+ML Hackathon, 2026.
