How to use the current Seer workspace, sidebar, product flows, and agent tools.

Overview

Seer turns a product idea into a structured workspace with planning, market research, patent analysis, electronics details, CAD files, orthographic previews, and manufacturing handoff tools depending on the mode you run.

The current app is organized around a left icon sidebar, a new-product prompt, saved products, and a product workspace. Use the sidebar to move between major areas, then use the workspace chat and tabs to refine or export a product.

New product flow

  1. Describe the product: Use the large prompt on the start page. Be specific about purpose, constraints, materials, dimensions, users, and the result you want.
  2. Add files: Use the attachment button for sketches, references, screenshots, or supporting files.
  3. Use voice: Use the microphone button to record an idea and transcribe it into the prompt.
  4. Add skills: Use the plus button to add available skills when you want specialized behavior.
  5. Select a model: Choose the main model from the model picker when available.
  6. Analyze: Press Analyze. Seer may ask refinement questions before it starts the full job.

Product type is selected in the mode dialog or mode controls. Auto can plan across CAD, electronics, market research, and patent work when available. CAD focuses on geometry and printable/mechanical files. Electronics focuses on circuits, components, and BOMs. Market Research and Patent Research run focused research flows.

AI can make mistakes. Review important outputs before using them for engineering, legal, manufacturing, or purchasing decisions.

Workspace

The workspace is where a generated product is reviewed and refined. It has a chat sidebar on the left and output tabs on the right.

  • Project title: The chat header shows the current product name.
  • New chat: Starts a new conversation for the current product.
  • Chat history: Reopens previous product conversations.
  • Agent status: Long-running jobs show progress, elapsed time, cancel controls, and live reasoning when available.
  • Reasoning: Live reasoning appears under your submitted follow-up and replaces the “Agent is working on your request...” bubble.
  • File Tree: Shows files for the active tab or the whole project depending on the tree mode.
  • Post: Shares the product to community builds when the product is saved and eligible.
  • Partner: Opens partner invite tools for collaboration.
  • ZIP: Downloads available project files as a package.

Workspace tabs

Tabs appear only when their output exists for the current product or job.

  • System Architecture: Shows the generated product structure and component tree.
  • Market Research: Shows structured market analysis when research output is available.
  • Electronics: Shows circuit, component, connection, BOM, and design-note information for electronics jobs.
  • Build Guide: Shows implementation steps when the agent returns a build plan.
  • Review: Shows human-gate questions or review material when the agent needs your decision.
  • Patent Analysis: Shows patent-search results and risk details when available.
  • Orthographic: Shows the generated product orthographic image when the output includes an orthographics artifact.
  • Software: Shows generated code files when the product includes software or firmware.
  • CAD: Shows OpenSCAD/CAD files, a 3D preview, and CAD parameters for mechanical outputs.

Follow-ups

Use the workspace chat to continue work after a product has been generated.

  • Ask: Ask questions about the product without requesting a design change.
  • Edit: Request a change to the current product. Edit jobs can update CAD, architecture, electronics, or other outputs depending on the request.
  • Model: Choose the model for the follow-up when the picker is available.
  • Skills: Add skills for specialized follow-up behavior.
  • Attachments: Attach images or files when they help explain the requested change.
  • Cancel: While a job is running, the send button becomes a cancel control.

Edit follow-ups create a restore point when possible, so you can revert to the design state before that message.

Products

The Products page lists saved products. Product cards use the product orthographic image when available; otherwise the image area is hidden. Open a product to continue in its workspace.

The start page also shows up to three recent products in the left sidebar for quick access to recent work.

Patent Guard

Patent Guard is for checking a product or idea against patent-related risks. You can import a product, add context, send a prompt, and review the resulting analysis in the chat-style flow.

Manufacture

Manufacture is for moving product outputs toward sourcing, quoting, and production workflows. Use it after reviewing the generated design, CAD, BOM, and manufacturing assumptions.

Community and organizations

  • Community: Browse shared builds and open public product examples.
  • Post: From a product workspace, use Post to share eligible products to the community.
  • Organizations: Manage organization context, members, and limits when organization features are enabled for your account.

Plans and AP

Plans and billing shows your current plan, AP balance, and upgrade options. AP is consumed by AI jobs, especially longer product generation, CAD, electronics, market research, and patent workflows.

Some modes or higher-capacity workflows may require a paid plan. If a plan gate appears, upgrade or choose a mode available on your current plan.

Settings and integrations

  • Profile: Update your account details, display name, plan summary, and profile image.
  • Integrations: Connect external services such as GitHub or Autodesk when enabled.
  • API keys: Store provider keys for supported model providers. Keys should be treated like passwords.
  • Agent composer: Configure custom agents when your plan and deployment allow it.
