The world of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) is evolving rapidly. At the BAU 2025 trade fair in Munich, the Nemetschek Group unveiled their revolutionary AI Assistant, an innovation set to redefine how professionals in the AEC industry work. This cutting-edge technology, embedded directly into Archicad, promises to streamline workflows, enhance creativity, and ensure quality compliance throughout the design process.
What is the Nemetschek AI Assistant?
The Nemetschek AI Assistant is an AI-agent-based tool integrated seamlessly intoArchicad, the powerful BIM (Building Information Modelling) software used by architects and designers worldwide. It’s designed to serve as a virtual assistant, providing real-time assistance through an intuitive chat interface. Whether you're designing a new project or refining an existing one, the AI Assistant will be your go-to resource for expert guidance, industry insights, and even BIM model queries.
Key Features Include:
Product Knowledge: Get quick, accurate answers about Archicad’s features and tools.
Industry Insights: Stay informed with the latest trends, regulations, and innovations in architecture and construction.
BIM Model Queries: Ask specific questions about your project’s BIM model and receive tailored suggestions.
AI Visualizer Integration: Visualize your designs with enhanced, AI-powered imagery.
A Game-Changer for Architects and Designers
Nemetschek's AI Assistant is not just another tool—it's a groundbreaking development that has the potential to change how we approach design. This new AI technology empowers professionals to make more informed decisions faster, improving both productivity and the overall quality of work.
As Márton Kiss, Chief Product Officer at Graphisoft, put it:
“We’re proud to share that Graphisoft was not only the first to implement this experimental technology in Archicad, but we also played a pivotal role in its development. This dual role highlights our dedication to delivering cutting-edge tools to our users that are shaping the future of the AEC industry.”
The integration of this AI Assistant means users can interact with their BIM models more efficiently, helping them navigate complex design challenges with ease. The tool provides both novice and experienced users with support, saving time while ensuring design quality.
Expand Your Capabilities with BIMx
In addition to being integrated into Archicad, the AI Assistant will also be available inBIMx, Graphisoft’s award-winning app for project presentation and coordination. With BIMx, professionals can now carry the power of the AI Assistant into the field. Whether you’re on-site with a mobile device, tablet, or even the Apple Vision Pro, you’ll have instant access to project details and design support.
Julian Geiger, VP of AI Product and Transformation at Nemetschek, shared:
“The AI Assistant builds on the AI layer announced in October 2024. It delivers a consistent, cohesive user experience across our brands, empowering users with smarter tools that enhance creativity and productivity, all while maintaining a seamless interface.”
The Road Ahead
This AI-powered assistant will be available for a public trial later this year as part of Graphisoft’s Technology Preview. An official release is scheduled for the fall, with additional features and capabilities to follow.
But that’s not all—Nemetschek plans to expand this technology to other brands within the group in 2025 and beyond, reinforcing their commitment to driving innovation across the AEC industry.
