Bygga

Bygga is a free, open-source app launched on 2026-10-27 by Hassan El Mghari (@nutlope), Head of Developer Experience at Together AI. It walks you through assembling IKEA furniture step by step with interactive 3D and voice instructions.

Type the product name from the box (e.g. KALLAX) and Bygga shows every assembly step in 3D, with the parts, screws and tools for each one, and reads it out loud. Site: usebygga.com. Hassan says it includes every buildable IKEA product. It was teased with a demo on Oct 23 and is now publicly live.

Product points

1. Simple input: type the IKEA product name printed on the box.
2. 3D steps: each step animates the parts, screws and tools, with written instructions and tips.
3. Voice mode: steps are read aloud; say "next", "back" or "again" to navigate.
4. Non-IKEA items: scan a paper manual to generate steps.
5. Workshop: saves what you've built.
6. Open source & free: 100% free and open source (GitHub: Nutlope/bygga), powered by Together AI; not affiliated with IKEA.

Caveats

• Not an official IKEA product; double-check generated steps against the parts and original manual
