# ParaCrux Solidworks Agent

> ParaCrux Solidworks Agent is Windows desktop software that brings an AI agent into SOLIDWORKS: it inspects the open model, prepares supported changes, runs them on copies and keeps the original. It needs a separately licensed SOLIDWORKS installation.

Key facts, as published on this site:

- Platform: 64-bit Windows desktop app. It connects locally to your own, separately licensed SOLIDWORKS installation and does not include a SOLIDWORKS licence.
- What it does today: inspects the open model (features, dimensions, configurations, properties) and carries out supported, reviewed changes on copies, keeping the original. It does not promise to automate every engineering decision; outputs need engineering review before manufacture or release.
- Status words: "Available" ships in the paid Agent today; "In review" is in the next desktop release; "Lab" is shown in demos and case studies and is not for sale. Case studies are prepared, not certified.
- Pricing: £39 per seat per month or £390 per seat per year, before tax, through Paddle as merchant of record. Each seat covers one concurrent computer and includes £5 of managed AI credit per UTC month. The Files preview is free.
- Data: model files stay on the workstation. With design-context sharing on, the message and a limited design-context packet go to the AI model; reference files travel only as names and fingerprints.
- Supplier: CueCrux Limited, registered in England and Wales, company 16885471. Support: support@paracrux.com. SOLIDWORKS is a trademark of Dassault Systèmes; ParaCrux is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by Dassault Systèmes.
