AdamFusion is a free AI add-in for Autodesk Fusion 360 that lets users drive CAD design natively through chat-based agents.
A developer released AdamFusion, an AI copilot add-in for Autodesk Fusion 360 that installs directly into the software's standard AddIns folder. The tool uses agents to control Fusion 360 natively via a docked chat palette, authenticated through an Autodesk account. It supports both macOS and Windows, offers a free tier with no credit card required, and is available at adam.new. This is a Show HN post, suggesting an early-stage indie launch rather than a major enterprise release.
AdamFusion exposes a working pattern for agentic control of a complex desktop application through a plugin/add-in architecture — no custom API, no browser automation. The agent communicates with Fusion 360's native API layer, which is a replicable pattern for any Electron-adjacent or plugin-capable desktop software. If you're building workflow automation for design or engineering tools, this is a live reference implementation worth dissecting.
Install AdamFusion this week and inspect how the add-in communicates with Fusion's API layer — check the Contents folder structure and any exposed JS/Python hooks to understand the agent-to-API bridge pattern you can replicate for other desktop tools.
