Nemetschek is rolling out its AI Assistant throughout its portfolio of construction software.
AI Assistant was launched in January for Archicad and ALLPLAN. The technology has now been extended to Vectorworks.
It integrates into design environments, offering real-time support, interactive guidance, and iterative design optimisation through a natural language interface. This enables architects, engineers and construction professionals to explore new ideas, iterate rapidly, and bring projects to life with speed and flexibility.
Key features in the phased releases include:
- an embedded conversational agent that delivers a context-aware, natural language interface for real-time support, interactive guidance, and iterative design optimisation;
- brand-enabled knowledge integration that enables AI Assistant to deliver answers that reflect the specific expertise of the software customers are using. It draws on brand-specific product and domain knowledge, so the insights users receive are trusted, relevant, and tailored to their discipline; and
- unified AI foundation for scalability. This unified foundation makes it easier for each product to adopt and expand AI capabilities, enabling consistent performance, rapid integration, and continuous improvement. “Users will benefit from quicker access to smarter tools, no matter which software they use, powered by a robust and scalable AI backbone,” Nemetschek claims.
Nemetschek plans to expand this phased approach across additional brands within its portfolio throughout this year and beyond.
“The next phase introduces domain-specific AI agents designed to support complex AEC/O workflows. These intelligent agents will interpret visual inputs, assist with technical documentation, and proactively suggest next steps – empowering users to work faster, stay compliant, and unlock new levels of creativity,” said Julian Geiger, vice-president and head of AI product and transformation at Nemetschek. “The AI Assistant is enabled by Nemetschek’s common platform and multimodal AI capabilities. This evolution brings a powerful blend of automation and expert guidance directly into users’ daily tools.”
