Bluebeam has added new functionality and added more AI-enabled tools to Bluebeam Max.
New functions include:
- enhanced web and mobile capabilities, enabling users to create pdfs, manage pages and perform markups from anywhere;
- improved search and visibility across projects, with new filters for Studio files (iOS) and markups (web), making it faster and easier to find the right information when working away from the desktop;
- smarter collaboration in Studio, including the ability to recover deleted Sessions and files and expanded global intelligent search; and
- expanded AI integrations, including model context protocol support for Claude, GitHub Copilot CLI, and AnythingLLM, enabling users to generate markups, build custom columns, and update markup properties faster using connected AI tools.
In addition, Bluebeam has acquired mbue, a startup focused on pre-construction and document workflows. This investment brings expertise in drawings, submittals and construction-focused AI, enhancing Bluebeam Max, said the company.
“We’re excited to join a company that has spent decades working deeply with pdfs and understands the complexity of construction documents better than almost anyone,” said mbue founder and CEO Jean-Pierre Trou. “Bluebeam is already used by millions of people in our industry, so bringing mbue’s technology into a larger ecosystem creates an opportunity for much greater impact at all stages of a project.”
Bleabeam CTO Jason Bonifay said: “We’re building towards a future where project knowledge is no longer trapped inside documents, disconnected systems or individual workflows. By combining AI, collaboration and deep AEC expertise, we’re creating solutions that help teams access information faster and reduce manual work so they can focus on what matters most.”
