Disguise has updated its AI-powered assistant, Ask Ald3n, allowing it to execute tasks.

Powered by Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, virtual production assistant 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. 

When Ask Ald3n is given more complex commands, it generates a custom tool based on the request that is stored in the user’s Disguise Cloud account and is accessible to anyone across the same Disguise Cloud organisation for use on future projects. 

If the solution doesn’t work, users can ask Ask Ald3n to attempt to fix it, or can manually review and edit the Python code that Ask AId3n generated. 

“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.”
