Offcut, design furniture by chatting with AI

Offcut launched a design tool that lets woodworkers describe furniture in Claude or ChatGPT and have it appear as real boards with sizes, materials and joints, connected through an MCP connector with a single sign-in. The tool generates a cut list with numbered cuts and sized offcuts, and every AI action lands in the project as a normal step that can be viewed, changed or undone. Offcut also offers shareable 3D view links that require no signup and live edit links for collaborative work, with the ability to turn a link off so it stops working immediately.

Your AI assistant designs it

Describe the piece in your own words and watch it appear in your project: boards, joints and all, fitted to your room, with joinery your tools can make. Change anything, or undo it a step at a time.

Offcut · for small shops and DIY woodworkers

Tell Claude or ChatGPT what you want to build, from a shelf to a whole kitchen, and watch it appear in Offcut as real boards with sizes, materials and joints, ready to cut. Rather draw it yourself? The tools work the way they do in SketchUp.

Rectangle, Push/Pull, Move and Rotate, as in SketchUp, on boards that know their material, grain and edge banding.

Cabinets, drawer boxes, shelving and fronts: set the sizes, get the boards and joints.

Sheets laid out, cuts numbered, offcuts sized.

Design with AI

Image generators give you a picture. Offcut gives your assistant real boards to work with, so what it designs has sizes, materials and joints, and comes with a cut list. Add Offcut to Claude or ChatGPT as an MCP connector and sign in once.

Everything it does lands in your project as normal steps, so you can see it, change it or undo it.

Share it

Send a link and they see your design in 3D, every size and the cut list, without signing up. Need a second pair of hands? An edit link lets them work on it with you, and you both see each other's changes as they're saved.

Turn a link off and it stops working at once.

For showing it off: they turn it around, check the sizes and open the cut list. Nothing can be changed.

For building it together: they draw and change boards with you, live, in the same project.
