Munich, Germany | January 15, 2025 - The Nemetschek Group, a leading software provider for the AEC/O and media industries, today unveiled a preview of the AI Assistant, the Group's first AI-agent-based technology, for Archicad. Introduced at Munich’s BAU 2025, the leading trade fair for architecture, materials, and systems, the AI Assistant streamlines creative exploration while saving time and ensuring quality and compliance.
The AI Assistant will be embedded directly into Archicad as an integrated AI chatbot. It will feature product knowledge, industry insights, BIM model queries, and AI Visualizer integration. Users will be able to design and refine projects through a streamlined chat interface.
“We’re proud to share that Graphisoft was not only the first to implement this experimental technology in Archicad but also played a pivotal role in its development,” said Márton Kiss, Chief Product Officer at Graphisoft. “This dual role highlights our dedication to delivering cutting-edge tools to our users that are shaping the future of the AEC industry.”
The AI Assistant will also be available in BIMx, Graphisoft’s award-winning presentation and coordination app for desktops, mobile devices, and the internet. Using a mobile phone, iPad, or even Apple Vision Pro, users can quickly and easily navigate a project away from the office or on the construction site.
“The AI Assistant is our first AI agent-based technology, and it builds on the AI layer announced in October 2024,” said Julian Geiger, VP, Head of AI Product and Transformation at the Nemetschek Group. “The AI Assistant delivers a consistent and cohesive user experience across our brands, empowering users to enhance creativity and productivity with smarter tools while seamlessly transitioning between brands through a familiar interface.”
The AI Assistant will be available for trial as part of Graphisoft’s public Technology Preview later this year. An official launch is scheduled for the fall. The Nemetschek Group will expand the AI Assistant to other Group brands in 2025 and beyond, reinforcing its commitment to empowering architects, engineers, contractors, and other professionals in the AEC/O industry.
