Disguise has announced a major update to its AI-powered workflow assistant for Designer Pro, Ask AId3n. The update enables production teams to sequence repetitive or technical tasks, reducing hours of work at the click of a button. This will streamline the programming of concerts, theatre shows, corporate events, virtual productions and more saving valuable time and leaving teams with more space for creativity.
Powered by Google s Gemini 2.5 Pro, Ask AId3n enables Designer Pro users to type questions into a chat-based interface, from simple queries like "how do I add blur?" to more complex commands instructing the tool to make direct changes to a project file. For example, if working on concert visuals at a well-known arena, users could instruct Ask AId3n to set up the screen and stage for that particular venue, with details sourced from the AI's knowledge base to solve the challenge of screen size and resolution.
They could then tell Ask AId3n to create layers and keyframes for every musical beat of the show and have those changes made within seconds. Alternatively, if working on an awards ceremony, teams could request Ask AId3n to instantly create video layers that introduce the presenter, the award and the winner, with section breaks after each and repeated for each award category alleviating themselves from a repetitive task and providing a solid foundation for sequencing the media once they have it.
Once Ask AId3n is given these kinds of complex commands, it will generate a custom tool based on the request. All users then need to do is simply click a button to see the results. All tools generated by Ask AId3n are stored in users' Disguise Cloud accounts and are accessible to anyone across the same Disguise Cloud organisation for use on future projects, saving time on both initial setup and future iterations.
With this new update, we're excited to help Designer Pro users continue making the most of
what AI can offer, says Disguise's Innovation Director, Peter Kirkup. Ask AId3n is now a true workflow assistant, with the ability to execute tasks. It's your instant expert, on hand to not just answer questions, but also handle everything from configuring LED screens to sequencing your timeline or setting up networked machines.
Key features of the new Ask AId3n include:
Instant project builds From configuring LED screens to sequencing your timeline, Ask AId3n handles the repetitive, technical tasks for you, interacting directly with your project file.
Custom tools, without the coding If you give Ask AId3n instructions, it will create a custom tool to execute that command. This tool can then be used on future projects. No coding required.
Quick fixes If Ask AId3n's results aren't exactly right, you can review and edit the Python code that Ask AId3n generated to fix it manually. Alternatively, you can also give Ask AId3n the fix it prompt to fix the code with AI.
Easy troubleshooting Ask AId3n is fully trained on the Disguise User Guide, ensuring it can serve as a quick way to answer any questions on Designer that come up.
Following the release of Disguise's portable new version of their Designer software, X1, in July, the latest updates to Ask AId3n further underline the company's commitment to software innovation, easing workflows and providing users with more flexibility than ever before.
