Why You Should Never Hesitate to Ask AI for Tweaks to Your LEGO® Build Plans
When you generate one of our TacoCat Real Build Technology plans, you’re getting something special — a detailed starting point crafted to help you bring a creative idea into the real world. But here’s something every builder should know:
The first version of the plan is just that — a first version. Your build can go as far as your imagination wants, and AI is here to grow the design with you.
Many users think they have to accept the initial output exactly as it comes, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, the real magic often happens when you ask the AI to tweak, refine, expand, or enhance the plans.
Why Tweaking Plans Is Normal (and Encouraged!)
Every builder has a different style. Some want maximum realism. Others want more play features. Some want cleaner lines, different colors, or a more technical breakdown.
AI can’t read your mind — yet — so the fastest way to get the perfect set of plans is simply to ask.
There’s no such thing as “bothering” the system or “asking too much.” If something feels missing, unclear, or not quite what you pictured, ask for adjustments. Your build evolves with every request you make.

Your Build Is a Collaboration — Keep Guiding It
Remember: you’re the designer. AI is your assistant.
If your plan isn’t quite right, or you want more depth, or you realize halfway through that you want something completely different — just ask.
Every follow-up request helps refine the model into something uniquely yours. There is no limit to how many times you can improve or expand your plan.
So don’t be shy — push your idea as far as you want. The AI will grow the build with you.
Happy building, and keep creating with confidence! 🧱✨
