bygga turns IKEA manuals into 3D, voice-guided steps

By Steven Van ·

Hassan's bygga demo plays IKEA assembly as 3D steps with optional voice guidance, but the app is not publicly available and has no announced price.

Hassan (@nutlope), Head of Developer Experience at Together AI, posted a demo of bygga on October 23 with the caption "I'm never reading IKEA instructions again." The app's tagline is "IKEA assembly, step by step."

Official bygga announcement demo.

You type the product name from the box. In the demo, KALLAX opens as 3D steps. Each step plays with the parts, screws, and tools, plus written instructions, a parts and tools checklist, and tips. An optional voice mode reads the step aloud, and you can say "next," "back," or "again." The demo also includes "Not from IKEA? Scan its paper manual," and a workshop that saves what you have built.

The outro says bygga is open source and coming soon, powered by Together AI, and not affiliated with IKEA. Hassan replied that he is going to fully release it next week. No public URL or price has been announced.
