Step 1
Process audit
One hour of conversation: what you do by hand, how many times a day, what it costs. You leave with a shortlist of automation candidates and a savings estimate.
AI automation · Rudnik Design
I build AI automation that does the work for your team.
AI agents, instant quotations, shop floor plans in minutes, CAD and BOM generators. Built around your real process, not a slide deck. Below are working demos you can click.
Background: years on the shop floor and in CAD. I know where a manufacturing business loses hours, and I build the smallest tool that gives them back: a script, a background job, a configurator or an AI agent with access to your data.
What I automate
Six areas where AI gives hours back.
Each one starts with a process somebody does by hand today. It ends with a tool that has a log, documentation and instructions.
01
Instant quotations
An enquiry from email, PDF or a form becomes a quote: the agent extracts dimensions and quantities, prices them from your rate card and returns a ready document for approval in minutes, not days.
02
Shop floor plans in minutes
Room dimensions plus a list of machines or elements turn into a layout, a dimensioned plan and a material list. Change one parameter and the whole thing recalculates.
03
CAD and BOM generators
Scripts and configurators that turn parameters into geometry, drawings, cut lists and production files. Exactly what the demos below do.
04
AI agents in the business
An assistant that answers enquiries, classifies email, writes reports and summaries, works on Discord, Telegram or WhatsApp and has access to your data, not the whole internet.
05
Integrations
Email, Google Drive, spreadsheets, ERP, CRM, stock systems: data flows between them without retyping. An API where there is one; a script where there is not.
06
Background automation
Scheduled jobs, monitoring, backups, a report in your inbox at 7:00. On your server or in the cloud, with a log so you know what ran and when.
Working demos
Click and check before we talk.
Three production capability demos. Two run in your browser now: enter the dimensions and download the production pack. The third is in the works.
Demo 01 walkthrough · Baffles
Demo 01 · Ceiling baffles · live
An acoustic ceiling costed before the client finishes their coffee
Enter the room dimensions, mark the cut-outs for luminaires and HVAC, pick a profile. The configurator computes the layout, NRC, BOM, cut list and price live, and the production pack is one click away.
- 3D preview with real materials: the client sees their own room, not a catalogue
- Cut-outs with 50 mm clearance, baffles trimmed automatically to the outline
- Cut list with waste and utilisation before you order anything
- Five production files: layout plan, suspension grid, BOM, CNC cuts, install sequence
Demo 02 walkthrough · NORVIK
Demo 02 · Shop front fascia · live
A whole station chain from one set of brand rules
Set the NORVIK brand rules once. Every station only brings its surveyed dimensions, and the configurator splits the panels so a joint never cuts a letter, scales the wordmark, counts LED modules and generates the pack with letter DXFs for every site.
- Four fascia systems and five letter types, from printed vinyl to halo-lit stainless
- 3D day and dusk: the client sees what actually lights up before paying
- DXF faces, returns and tray backs with LED and fixing layout, ready for CNC
- Chain rollout: station table, merged BOM, pack per site
Demo 03 · in the works
The next demo is in preparation.
I am working on the third showcase. If there is a process you would like to see as a demo on your own data, write to me: a pilot on your case is often the fastest route.
How it works
From audit to a tool that runs unattended.
No months-long rollouts. One process first, measured and automated; then the next.
Step 2
Prototype on your data
Within days you get a working prototype on real files, not samples. You see the result before deciding on the rollout.
Step 3
Rollout
The tool enters the process: integration with email, drive or your system, tests with the team, instructions and documentation.
Step 4
Maintenance and log
Every run leaves a trace. Fixes and extensions on a retainer or per job; the code and documentation stay with you.
Why it pays off
Fewer hours, fewer mistakes, faster client decisions
This is not a prettier catalogue. It is a layer that turns a sales conversation into finished documentation, and every next process into the next tool.
01
Time
Quote, drawings and cut list are produced during the conversation, not after it. The designer stops redrawing the same front for the fifth time and approves the result instead.
02
Money
BOM computed from geometry, not from a spreadsheet. You see material utilisation and waste before ordering, so you never buy one bar too many or book the shop floor for rework.
03
Mistakes
One data source for plan, section, BOM and production files. The installer gets dimensions that match what left the workshop.
04
Sales
The client clicks, sees their ceiling or their station in 3D and gets a price on the spot. The decision happens in the meeting, not after three emails and a week of waiting.
05
Scale
Brand rules once, stations from survey. A chain of twenty sites is twenty rows in a table and one merged BOM, not twenty separate projects.
06
Your product
Baffles and fascias are the first two demos. Your profiles, inputs, brand rules and file formats come in as the next configurator on the same layer.
What every role gains
Designer
Less repetitive drafting and more time for design decisions.
Project manager
A clear handover and fewer iterations caused by inconsistent data.
Estimator
Real quantities and a cost baseline instead of spreadsheet approximations.
Production
Fewer cutting mistakes and better material predictability.
Stack
Proven tools, not experiments.
Chosen per task: an AI model where text or images need understanding; plain code where a rule is enough.
Python
scripts, generators, integrations
Claude / OpenAI API
AI models for text, documents and agents
Next.js + TypeScript
configurators and dashboards in the browser
Docker
isolated services on the server

Inside the demo
The baffle configurator in action
The screens below come from the working Demo 01. They show how the configurator takes a project from room dimensions, through the 3D preview and section, to BOM, cut list and production files.
Demo screens
Click a frame to enlarge it. Every screen comes from the live configurator, not from a mock-up.
01 / 08
You start from room dimensions, not from a drawing
Enter width and length in millimetres and mark the zones where baffles cannot go: luminaires, HVAC diffusers, sprinklers. The configurator lays out the runs around the cut-outs and shows the distances to the walls.
Inside the demo
The shop front fascia configurator in action
Screens from the working Demo 02: the NORVIK station chain. Brand rules are set once, every station only adds its surveyed dimensions, and the configurator generates the elevation, letters, electrical schedule and the pack for the whole chain.

01 / 07
Survey dimensions become an elevation drawing
Enter the fascia length and height, add returns, and the configurator splits the face into panels by sheet length, places the frame posts and dimensions the wordmark: cap height, width, offset from the left. The top view shows build-out depth and letter projection.
