Write Grasshopper Python Components with AI

Add custom Python components to your Grasshopper definitions — without knowing how to code.

Sooner or later, every Grasshopper user needs something the standard components can't do. The answer is a Python component — but writing one has always meant learning to code first.

Not anymore. In this short, hands-on course you'll use Claude Code, an AI coding agent, to write your Grasshopper Python components for you. You describe what you want in plain English, the agent writes the Python, and you run it in Grasshopper. When something breaks, you hand back the error and it fixes it — no syntax to memorise, no programming background needed.

In about 30 minutes you'll build a real component from start to finish — a phyllotaxis spiral, inspired by the seed pattern of a sunflower — and along the way learn how to prompt for clean code, fix errors quickly, and check that the result is correct. You'll leave with a repeatable method you can apply to whatever component you need next. The same approach works for any future idea.

Taught by Agata Kycia — architect, computational designer and researcher (Dr.-Ing., TU Berlin) — whose courses make advanced computational design approachable.
