Definition
Autodesk Assistant is an action-oriented AI agent built directly into Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) that transforms how teams interact with project data. Unlike a simple chatbot, it works as a project-level coordinator pulling together insights from specifications, RFIs, issues, submittals, and schedules to provide complete, context-aware answers. Teams ask questions like 'What are the top risks right now?' or 'Create a project health dashboard with main KPIs' and receive real-time answers grounded in live data. The Project Data agent exited beta in March 2026, enabling smarter data interaction and workflow automation. Powered by Autodesk Helix intelligence, thousands of teams begin their workday querying the Assistant to prioritize work across the full Forma platform.
