Manual for Anything turns one photo of what you have into plain, animated, IKEA-style instructions.

Take a photo of the things in front of you, such as bricks, groceries, yarn, wood or a sheet of paper, and optionally say what you'd like to make. The app identifies each object, cuts it out, designs a project and plays a step-by-step manual in your browser, with captions that give usable amounts, times and measurements. If something isn't right, you can say so and it revises the manual. It also works through written problems, drawing diagrams to scale step by step.

Most instructions start from a finished idea and assume you already have the right parts. Real life works the other way around: you have a box of bricks, some leftover groceries or a length of yarn, and you don't know what they could become or how to get there. Finding a tutorial that matches what you actually own is slow, and written steps can be hard to follow.

Manual for Anything starts from your world instead. One photo of what you have becomes a project and a visual manual you can follow, adapted to those objects, in plain language across many kinds of projects. It makes the first step easier for anyone who has the materials but not the know-how.
