How to turn a PDF manual into a 3D model

Drag the PDF up to your Mac's notch and drop it on Koi's Visualize spot. Koi reads it and builds what it describes as a 3D model you can turn, with the document's own steps as captions underneath. No call, no typing.

We make Koi, so read the Koi part with that in mind. Everything about Koi here is what it does today.

1. Find the manual in Finder: a PDF, a datasheet, or a picture of a diagram.
2. Drag it up to the notch at the top of your screen. Three spots open: Files Tray, Visualize and AirDrop.
3. Drop it on Visualize, in the middle. The notch says Reading… while Koi reads it, then Building….
4. The model appears part by part in its own window, named after the thing it shows.
5. Turn it, zoom it, and click a step in the captions to fly to the parts that step is about.

The download button at the right end of the window's title bar saves a picture (PNG), or the scene itself as a .koi file on your Desktop. Double-click the .koi file later and it opens in Koi again, still turning, with no AI and no cost.

• Things with parts: a camera mount, a bike's gears, a coffee machine, a circuit board.
• Koi reads about thirty pages and looks at pictures of the first six. A longer manual is read from its start.
• Drop several files and Koi builds the first one it can read.
• It counts against your plan's Koi. The document's words, pictures of its first six pages and its file name go to Koi's AI once, and nothing of it is kept.

Rather ask about it out loud? On a call, Koi can build the same kind of model while it explains. Every step is also in Koi's help.
