Instruxa is for technical creatives of all skill levels.
Instruxa was designed by an artist and indie game creator frustrated by how linear LLM chats worked for guiding them through new creative software.

Common questions
Q. How does it work?
A. Instruxa is a tutorial engine powered by various LLMs + web/documentation search. When you create a new guide, the walkthrough is broken into modular steps you can directly engage with. No more endless scrolling in linear chats!
Q. What kinds of software works best with this?
A. Anything with a GUI, really. Instruxa is optimized for established and professional-level creative/production software, and shines especially for tasks involving nodes and scripting.
This includes:
- 3D software like: Blender, Houdini, Maya, Cinema4D, 3DS Max, Substance Designer
- Game engines like: UE5, Godot, Unity
- Video software like: After Effects, Premiere, Da Vinci Resolve, Touch Designer
- CAD software: Rhino, Solidworks, Revit, Inventor
- DAW software: Ableton Live, FL Studio
Q. How accurate is it?
A. For newly-created tutorials, accurate enough to be useful!
In general, accuracy depends on how widely-used your software is, and how common your task is. In specific, it's the highest for Blender and Godot, as these are enhanced with direct contextual documentation so you can better match to your exact version.
Published Tutorials are written with the original creator's clarification questions integrated, making them better tuned to the task for new readers based on what worked initially. Users can also comment for clarification on steps to patch any remaining holes. The more people use these, the better they get!
Q. How much does it cost?
A. Instruxa is free for following existing tutorials! You can ask follow-up questions on those as much as you need.
Custom tutorials will likely cost around 30c in credits to make, depending on whether you buy them directly or subscribe at $15/month. Early birds can recoup the full creation cost by publishing the tutorials after finishing them.
Q. Is this supposed to replace video tutorials?
A. Instruxa is a compliment to video. If you are brand new to your software package, you should familiarize yourself with the feel, flow, and basic terminology, first. Videos are a great way to get started with that.
If your objective is simple and common, look for a video tutorial, and when it doesn't exist, use Instruxa! Instruxa truly shines when you want to accomplish something custom, something a bit over your head. It's also great for pipelines involving connecting multiple types of software.
Q. Why not just use standard LLM chats?
A. Speaking personally as an artist learning new software, I ran into many pain points with the standard chat interface.
When following a multi-step guide, I would inevitably have to ask follow-up questions for clarification on particular steps, which would lead me down tangents, bloating up the chat and making it an absolute mess. All the scrolling would break flow. Would you try to represent a tree by cutting off all its branches and laying them on the ground in a line?
And while follow-up prompts can be edited to create branches, it results in large chunks of the chat being buried, like making most of the tree's branches invisible. And don't get me started on version-specific accuracy...
But yeah, if you have to do something simple, chat apps are sufficient.
Q. I want to learn to sculpt/draw/paint in my software. Will this help me?
A. Instruxa's forte is guiding you in the technical side of creative production, but it has a difficult time teaching "artistry." It can tell you when and where to sculpt, but not how to sculpt it, so to speak. We recommend human instruction and practice for those skills.
Q. Did you use an LLM to write this Q&A?
A. Nope.
