Bentley Copilot
Bentley's context-aware AI assistant embedded across its infrastructure software portfolio that guides users through workflows, surfaces relevant documents, and modifies 3D models via natural language.
Definition
Bentley Copilot is the AI assistant woven throughout Bentley Systems' infrastructure software suite. Unlike a generic chatbot, Bentley Copilot is aware of the active model, current workflow state, and connected project data—enabling it to answer domain-specific questions, navigate complex software features, and surface relevant standards or documents. Within SYNCHRO+, Copilot can explain construction sequences, answer questions about the model, and modify 3D model elements through conversational commands. In design tools, it helps engineers navigate regulatory requirements and design standards. Announced at Year in Infrastructure 2025 alongside OpenSite+ and SYNCHRO+, Bentley Copilot represents the company's commitment to embedding AI natively across every product, enabling less experienced users to perform complex tasks that previously required specialist knowledge.
Examples
Asking Bentley Copilot 'Show me all drainage structures within 50 meters of the proposed alignment'
Using Copilot to navigate a new feature in OpenRoads without watching a tutorial
Directing Copilot to update activity durations in SYNCHRO+ after a delayed material delivery
