Ask AId3n is an AI-powered assistant available as a plugin for Disguise’s Emmy-award-winning Designer Pro software. Designer Pro sits at the heart of projects like concerts, theatre shows, virtual productions, and more, and has been used on everything from Coachella and Oasis Live ‘25 to the West End’s Hercules show. Designer Pro allows users to create a 3D digital replica of an event stage before designing, visualizing, sequencing and controlling their visuals for LEDs or projections.
Powered by Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro, Ask AId3n allows production teams to sequence repetitive or technical tasks within Designer, so they can reduce hours of work to minutes with the click of a button. To use Ask AId3n, users can simply open Designer Pro and type questions into a chat-based interface. These can range 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 an arena, users could instruct Ask AId3n to set up the screen and stage dimensions for that particular venue, 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.
Key features include
Advanced function calling - Powered by Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro, users can type natural language instructions into Ask AId3n’s chat-based interface and see results in seconds.
Custom tools, without the coding - When given instructions, Ask AId3n will create a custom tool to execute the command. These tools are stored in users’ Disguise Cloud accounts and are accessible to anyone in the same organisation for use on future projects. No coding is required.
Easy troubleshooting - Ask AId3n is fully trained on the Disguise User Guide. It combines intelligent guidance with direct in-tool action to quickly answer any questions or solve any problems that might arise within Designer Pro.
Instant project builds - From configuring LED screens to sequencing your timeline, Ask AId3n handles the repetitive, technical tasks for you, so your team can focus on creativity.
Python code automation - Designer Pro users can use Ask AId3n to automatically generate and execute Python code, saving hours on any project. If results don’t look right, users can review and edit the code to fix it manually or give Ask AId3n the 'fix it' prompt for a quick fix with AI.
By streamlining workflows in Designer Pro, Ask AId3n underlines Disguise’s mission to help their community by saving valuable time and leaving teams with more space for creativity.
