PrismCAD is a local-first, zero-trust AI assistant designed specifically as a plug-in for AutoCAD 2025 and 2026.
Unlike generic cloud-based AI tools that operate as unpredictable black boxes with direct access to production files, PrismCAD bridges natural-language intent with strict deterministic execution. It utilizes a decoupled architecture where a local Python planning sidecar communicates via loopback (127.0.0.1) with a high-performance C# AutoCAD kernel, ensuring that proprietary drawing files never leave the local workstation.
Core features include:
Dual RAG Engine & SQLite Hot Cache (ProjectPrism): Automatically indexes drawing entities and spatial relationships locally with a 500ms debouncer for instant contextual resolution.
Space Tagging & Room Extraction: Understands semantic spaces and architectural room labels (such as specific rooms or tags) to anchor commands accurately.
Mandatory Human Approval Gate: Translates prompts into structured execution plans, rendering a visual WPF preview so users can review and approve every step before it touches the database.
Cryptographic Execution Guardrails: Canonically hashes approved plans (SHA-256) and authorizes transactions using an Ed25519 cryptographic key protected by Windows DPAPI, re-validating live drawing fingerprints right before commit to guarantee atomicity and prevent file corruption.
