What you can ask

The Assistant works through a fixed set of capabilities: things it can read from the design, and things it can do to it. Read tools run on their own while it answers; actions run straight away in Auto mode, or wait for your Apply when Auto is off. Scripts, deletions and new company standards always wait for Apply — see The Assistant panel.

You never type a command name — you describe what you want and the Assistant picks the right one.

What it can read

It reads	So you can ask
The design summary — file name, design type, metals, ring size and sizing regions, layers, element by element with its parameters, plus the notes	What is this piece? How many stones does it have? What size is it? What are the prongs set to?
Pricing and Boutique — the internal manufacturing cost breakdown (materials, weights, labour) and the Boutique product data	What does it weigh? What’s the cost in 18k? What’s the retail price?
Modifiable elements — every element that can be changed, with its id and its editable parameters	What can I change on the head? Which parameters does the cathedral have?
The viewport — a picture of the design as it looks right now	Does the halo look balanced? Is anything floating?
The RhinoArtisan documentation — searched while it answers, with links to the pages it used	How do I make a hidden halo? Where do I set the ring size standard?
Your company standards — the rules your company always follows	Which metal do we use for engagement rings?
Your Boutique — the ready-made designs of the Boutique collections installed on this computer, by collection, name or SKU	Which halos do we have in the Boutique? Is there an oval solitaire?
Your hours — the Time Tracker’s time per file and per day	How many hours have I worked this week? How long have I spent on this ring?

What it can do

The design

Action	Ask for it like this
Change the ring size	”Set the ring size to British letter H” — more than 20 sizing standards are understood
Change the metal	”Change the metal to 18k white gold”
Scale by weight	”Make it weigh 4.5 grams” — the whole design scales to hit the target
Modify one element	”Change the main gemstone to Oval 1.50 cts”, “cluster prongs from 5 to 3”, “increase the cathedral arms distance by 0.5 mm”
Remove part of an element	”Remove the bridge of the cathedral shank”
Delete objects	”Delete the side stones” — always waits for your Apply
Undo / Redo	”Undo that” — or the Undo button under the answer, which reverts everything that answer did in one go

Building

Action	Ask for it like this
Build a shank or a ring	”Create a cathedral shank”, “make an eternity ring in size 6” — classic, cathedral, eternity, bypass, signet, split shank, wedding bands, pavé shanks and more
Add a setting	”Add a halo around the center stone” — halo, bezel, prongs, basket, trilogy
Add a gem	”Add a 1 ct round diamond”
Lay out gems	”Pavé the selected surface with 1.3 mm stones” — gems along a curve or between two curves, pavé on a surface, tapered baguettes

The Assistant builds one step at a time and checks each result before the next, so a complete ring is a short conversation rather than a single command. Where you don’t give a value, it uses your saved defaults for that element and your company standards.

Technical documentation and production

Action	Ask for it like this
Create the report	”Make a report using Customer A”
Add or remove dimensions	”Add the dimensions” / “Remove all dimensions”
Prepare for production	”Prepare the design for production”
Export STL	”Export the metal parts for printing”
Export the breakdown to Excel	”Send me the breakdown in Excel”
Save as	”Save it as Vintage-005-client-B”

Rendering

Action	Ask for it like this
Render view on / off	”Show the design with render materials” / “back to design materials”
Apply a render material	”Put a polished platinum material on Metal 01”
Lay it on the ground	”Lay it flat for a render”

Pictures

Action	Ask for it like this
Talk about a photo or sketch	Attach it and ask: “what setting is this?”, “how many stones do you count?”
Build from a picture	”Make something like this with a 1 ct oval” — the Assistant tells you its plan and waits for your go-ahead before it builds
Make a picture	”Make a photorealistic render of this ring”, “show it on a hand”, “a version of this photo in rose gold” — generated with your fal.ai key

The image models are set in Assistant options. For finer control over generations — modes, sizes, video and 3D — use Generative AI Studio.

Your company’s rules

Action	Ask for it like this
Remember a standard	”Remember that in platinum we always use 1 mm prongs” — the Assistant writes it as one clear rule and adds it to your company standards when you press Apply

Panels and libraries

Action	Ask for it like this
Open a RhinoArtisan panel	”Open the Outliner”
Open the Boutique library	”Show me Boutique”
Insert a Boutique design	”Insert the Halo 001 from the Boutique in rose gold” — it finds the design in your installed collections and imports it, optionally in 18k white, yellow or rose gold
Open the Components library	”Open Components”

What it does not do

• It does not sculpt. It builds with RhinoArtisan’s parametric tools — shanks, settings, gems, pavé — not free-form or organic shapes. For form from a prompt or an image, that is Generative AI Studio; for sculpting by hand, Sculpt.
• It is not a script library. For automations you want to review, keep and run again, use Flow Studio AI, which writes Python against the scripting API and saves it to your Flow library.
• It does not act on its own. It changes the design only when you ask. Auto mode runs what you asked for straight away; turn it off to approve each change first.
