It uses a local AI model to analyze your incomplete sketch in real-time and suggests multiple autocomplete options to finish it. Users can draw a simple shape, and Pencil will generate complete, coherent illustrations (like turning a circle into a detailed planet). It demonstrates accessible, real-time creative AI without needing cloud processing or an account.
