The generator list spans whole houses, decks, kitchens, trusses, masonry, and baths, with editable parameters and typical-value defaults.

Field notes

The described workflow starts with a typed or dictated request, then uses a selected generator and editable parameters to produce sheets, schedules, and a model. The page says defaults use typical values and calls out outputs including vector PDF and DXF. It also describes sending a request from a phone to a user's PC, while automatic reading of PDFs and hand sketches remains a stated upcoming feature.
