Fixie vs ChatDIY

Describe the piece you want, or snap a photo. Fixie draws the plans: a 3D model, a cut list, a shopping list and step-by-step instructions, sized to your space. DESIGN YOUR OWN A nightstand for a narrow gap. A bench for the entryway. A shelf that fits your books. Tell Fixie what you want and how big, or add a photo of something you like. If a detail is missing, Fixie asks a few questions before it starts. Your plans are ready in a few minutes, and Fixie lets you know. MAKE IT YOURS Want the shelf higher or the legs thicker? Ask for a change and get a new version of your plans. SEE IT BEFORE YOU BUILD Turn and zoom the 3D model. Place supported designs in your room with AR to check the size. CUT WITH CONFIDENCE Every part, every board and every cut, in one list. Tell Fixie which tools you have, and the steps use them. BUILD ONE STEP AT A TIME Follow illustrated assembly steps and check them off as you go. The shopping list covers the materials and skips the tools you already own. OR START FROM THE CATALOG Pick one of our projects, like a shoe rack, a coat rack or a tote storage rack, and set the size. Catalog projects are free. Proud of a design? Share it with a link. Custom designs are drawn with AI. Check the measurements, materials and steps before you cut, and follow the safety guidance for your tools. Custom designs are In-App Purchases: a one-time Blueprint Pass or a Fixie Monthly or Fixie Annual subscription. Each new design includes seven days of changes, and a Refinement Week adds seven more. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.
