What Structura AI does.
Structura is the working layer between an engineer’s intent, a chosen AI model and the CAD or engineering application already in use. It reads the active visual context, proposes a bounded plan, runs only the approved route and then checks fresh evidence.
It is designed for accountable professional work: the plan is visible, computer use can be stopped, connectors are reviewed and completion requires more than a model’s assertion.
Inspect // plan // execute // verify
A controlled action loop.
Each stage has a distinct job. Inspection grounds the run in the current canvas. Planning makes the intended scope explicit. Execution uses the selected connector or bounded computer-use path. Verification asks for fresh evidence before completion.
Plan
Turns a request into a visible, bounded action plan
Execute
Runs approved connector or computer-use actions locally
Verify
Checks fresh evidence before reporting completion
Provider and data boundaries
Use the account your practice controls.
Supported routes include Google Vertex AI, OpenAI API, xAI, Mistral, Ollama, MadeVia-hosted AI (plan credits). Bring-your-own provider credentials are stored through the operating-system keychain and those prompts go directly to the selected provider. Plans with MadeVia AI credits can also use MadeVia-hosted models, metered against the organisation allowance.
The MadeVia edge service handles organisation accounts, subscription state, AI credit balance and licence authorisation. It does not receive CAD drawings or project screenshots through the licence service.
Optional Google sign-in
Google sign-in is an optional account method. MadeVia requests only the standard OpenID identity details needed to identify the user: provider subject, name and verified email. It does not request Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar or Microsoft 365 content.

Questions
Structura AI FAQ.
What is Structura AI?
Structura AI is a desktop AI workbench for structural engineering and CAD workflows. It combines model choice, active-canvas context, bounded plans, controlled execution and fresh-evidence verification.
Does Structura AI replace engineering judgement?
No. Structura supports workflow tasks, but the engineer and their practice remain responsible for calculations, standards, checking, decisions and deliverables.
Where does project data go?
Bring-your-own provider prompts and images go directly from the desktop to the AI provider you select. Optional MadeVia-hosted AI on credit plans is metered against your organisation allowance. MadeVia receives account and licence checks; the licence service does not receive project screenshots, prompts, provider tokens or model responses.
How is Structura AI priced?
Plans are Practice (£49/seat, BYO providers), Practice + AI (£49 plus £20 MadeVia AI credits), and Premium (£129 plus £100 MadeVia AI credits), excluding VAT, with a seven-day free trial.
