As I commented on LinkedIn, "I'm excited to see this step, but isn't this where Copilot was 4 years ago? I'm writing whole features using Codex/ChatGPT with local clones of the standard library and FeatureScript documentation for its reference. As Michael Pascoe commented, we need integration with the latest agents, ideally through MCP alongside the current IDE."
BTW, I tried to sign up for this AI event post-facto and the web form rejected my email. The same one connected to my paid Onshape account. Hmmm.

I think this link should work for anyone?

Ok. Finally watching the video. Perhaps the LinkedIn post would have been much better if it didn't only mention the LLM autocomplete which is the most basic part of the whole thing.
Thanks @eric_pesty for sharing that link.
(Make sure you scroll down to the Onshape AI video, and then jump to about ~11 minutes in where @cody_armstrong starts giving the demos)
We've got AI Quickrender rendering coming (sorry RenderCAD, looks like you might be getting Sherlocked.)
We've got some drawing annotation replication coming (i.e. tell the AI to look at a view on one drawing for part A, and apply that to the second drawing for part B) (sorry https://www.drafterinc.com):
And most important to me at least, AI Agents including one tuned on FeatureScript, and a general MCP connection:
