I asked a question on reddit and would like to ask your opinion on whether this idea is valuable?

I’m not sure what the op is asking for exactly.

I can only say: Try.

Writing an add-in for this purpose is hard. First, while tools like ChatGPT can assist with code generation, they are not specifically trained for the SOLIDWORKS API, leading to inaccuracies and incomplete solutions. You will quickly get fed up with the gibberish generated by the GPT. Additionally, you cannot compile VBA code during runtime, which limits flexibility; a better approach might be to use a C# generative AI solution.

However, this introduces its own difficulties, such as loading assemblies into the same AppDomain as SOLIDWORKS. While using a separate AppDomain can help circumvent these issues, it often comes with performance drawbacks. This was a point of discussion with Artem, highlighting that specific AppDomain setups in SOLIDWORKS can significantly impact performance, making this approach less ideal in many cases.
