Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

The product uses a local Windows Bridge to discover a printer and camera, then links them to a remote workshop with a temporary one-use code. During a print, it reviews a camera frame every 90 seconds and can report observations in plain language. Its intervention model is unusually bounded: automatic mode is off by default, actions are separated by two minutes, and the allowed controls are fixed rather than generated freely by the AI.
