It knows where you are
The active profile decides which Catalog loads and what suggestions surface. Every app you open changes the conversation.
Introducing AI Builder

Open AI Builder where you already work
AI Builder opens with shortcuts tuned to your profile, your selection, and what you’ve copied — all before you’ve typed a word.
It reads the room.
Open AI Builder anywhere in MetaGrid Pro. The suggestions already know what you’re working in.

“Open it in Logic Pro, Figma, DaVinci, macOS — anywhere.
Works in every app.
The same intelligence reads where you are.”
It sees what you have
AI Builder reads your existing grid before proposing — so suggestions complement what’s already there instead of duplicating it.
It fills the gaps
The AI looks at what’s missing from your workflow — then proposes specific, tappable prompts to round it out.
Built on what your software actually does.
Other AI tools generate plausible commands from training data. AI Builder retrieves real commands from your real setup — grounded, not invented.

The Catalog
Four layers of grounding.
When you load a Catalog, MetaGrid Pro retrieves real commands from real sources on your real system. Every action AI Builder proposes maps back to one of them.

And when we're not sure — we say so.
Every action AI Builder proposes is labeled. Verified actions are grounded in the Catalog. AI suggested actions are the AI’s best guess when the Catalog had no match. No hallucinations. No silent guesses.

“The grid is for the work the keyboard can’t do.”
— a principle, encoded into AI Builder
AI Builder doesn’t propose commands you already trigger from the keyboard — undo, redo, copy, paste, select all. Those stay on the keyboard, where they’re faster. The grid is reserved for the work physical buttons actually accelerate.
Build · Refine · Ideas
AI Builder isn’t a single feature. It’s contextual intelligence woven throughout MetaGrid Pro — wherever it can help, whenever you need it.
Build
Generate complete button sets from a single prompt. Verified actions, full styling control, ready to use in about a minute.
From empty grid to working set — the flow you just walked through.
Refine
Edit any button or macro with natural language, right inside the editor. No starting over, no manual rebuilds — refine what’s already there.
Per-button AI editing for surgical changes after the build.
Ideas
Always-on suggestions tuned to your active profile and grid. The next idea is already waiting when you open AI Builder.
Contextual prompts the AI has written for your setup.
No hallucinations. No surprises.
Verified, approved, editable. Always.
Verified commands
Every shortcut is grounded in your real Catalog. Nothing is invented, guessed, or hallucinated.
You approve everything
Review every action before it lands on your grid. Refine individual buttons. Reject what doesn’t fit.
Always editable
Once built, they’re normal MetaGrid Pro buttons. Tweak, restyle, or rebuild anytime.
Questions worth asking.
The operational reality behind AI Builder — short, direct answers.
Setup
AI Builder uses Anthropic’s Claude models for everything it does. Lighter operations like generating Ideas suggestions use faster, more economical models. Heavier operations like Build and Refine use stronger models for quality. The exact model mix is updated as Anthropic releases new versions — we always use the best balance of quality and cost available.
