Looking to the Future of Agentic AI with AutoCAD and Autodesk Assistant

[The AutoCAD Blog]

Without question, AI is a huge priority across Design and Make industries. According to the recently released State of Design & Make: Digital Transformation Pulse report, Design and Make organizations are overwhelmingly positive about the future of AI in their industry, with 74% saying it will have a positive impact on innovation and 92% currently using at least one AI tool.

Autodesk is helping to provide the solutions required to take advantage of new AI-enabled workflows. Autodesk AI is embedded throughout Autodesk products with new workflows being added regularly. Integrating with Autodesk products, including AutoCAD (and eventually Autodesk model context protocol [MCP] servers), it provides a unified and collaborative experience with continuous access to critical data.  

Let’s take a look at how you can use Autodesk AI in AutoCAD today through Autodesk Assistant and where it’s going in the future. 

How Autodesk Assistant Enhances AutoCAD Today

Today, Autodesk Assistant is your partner in doing more with AutoCAD. It can help with design tasks, help you learn about new features, and troubleshoot design challenges without leaving the workspace. You also can initiate a discussion with a support agent or submit a support case from within Autodesk Assistant.

Looking to the Future of Agentic AI and AutoCAD

In the future, Autodesk Assistant will be the unified entry point for Autodesk products, simplifying cross-product workflows with a context-aware intelligent assistant that offers access through one interface. Autodesk Assistant will grow with new capabilities as Autodesk develops trusted MCP services, CAD and physics-informed foundation models, and other Autodesk AI capabilities, exposing discrete functionalities embedded in Autodesk’s standalone software products.

At AU 2025, attendees got a preview of this functionality during the AECO keynote. In AutoCAD, you’ll be able to analyze the submission against your drawing standards and get results right away, highlighting violations in layers, lines, text, and dimensions. No more tedious review for hours. You can have intelligent analysis in seconds. See the demo for yourself:
