food4Rhino webinar: CAD for all - Raven AI for Grasshopper Beginners

Unlock the power of Grasshopper without the learning curve—with Raven AI (https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/raven) by your side. Move faster in Rhino with conversational AI, whether you are a complete Grasshopper newbie or open it occasionally, and with other people's scripts. Raven is built for Rhino and Grasshopper. It reads your scripts, plugins, and custom tools so that you can describe intent in plain language, iterate on geometry, and debug in context. This session keeps the camera on Rhino-first workflows: Commands, curves, solids, and real files. Not on abstract automations. Join the McNeel team and Raven to see why a CAD-native copilot behaves differently from a generic chat tool, and how to apply it in practice. In this live session, you will get: Ways to turn plain-language goals into Rhino-native geometry and edits without relying on Grasshopper expert knowledge. A workflow for debugging and refining modeling and script logic with an assistant that reads your actual file context and gets it. How to tap your plugin ecosystem when you need it, without memorizing every component name. Examples of Raven across AEC, engineering, and manufacturing when CAD is the hub. Speaker: Moritz Rietschel (  / moritz-rietschel  ) is co-founder of Raven, building human-centered AI tools for design and creativity. His background includes research at UC Berkeley on human-AI collaboration in CAD with Prof. Kyle Steinfeld and robotic fabrication with Prof. Simon Schleicher. He has lectured internationally on AI-based creative tools, hosted workshops at MIT and Tongji, and published peer-reviewed work on LLMs for CAD. Reach out if you want to chat with the Raven team. Who this is for: Rhino users who want AI in the CAD loop—from heavy viewport modelers to occasional Grasshopper users. This webinar is not a plugin-heavy Grasshopper deep dive, but it is for those who want to add AI power to their classic CAD work in Rhino.
