Finding the right solution on the Design and Make Marketplace used to mean knowing the keywords to search or scrolling through numerous categories. That changes today. With Autodesk Assistant on the Design and Make Marketplace, you simply describe the problem you're trying to solve. It helps you navigate an ecosystem of over 4,000 products to find the ones that fit your use case.
When we built the Design and Make Marketplace, we knew discovery was changing, and we built it for a future where buyers don't search for the tools they need. Instead, the right tool surfaces at the right moment, as part of the workflow, and can be invoked by the agents orchestrating that work on the user's behalf. Today's shift, from searching to describing your intent to Autodesk Assistant, is a step toward that future.
How the experience changes now
From your use case to the right solution
Explain what you're trying to accomplish, and Autodesk Assistant translates it into a shortlist of relevant solutions, each with a rationale grounded in marketplace data, so you understand why it's a fit before you dig in.
Try asking: Editing schedules and family parameters one row at a time in Revit is too slow. Is there an app that lets me bulk-edit through Excel?
Refine without starting over
Autodesk Assistant remembers the context of your conversation, so you can narrow your results as you go. Add a constraint and the shortlist refines. For now, that memory lasts within a single conversation.
Try asking: I'd rather use something well-established with solid user feedback, not something brand new with no reviews yet.
Compare your options side by side
Once you identify relevant products, Autodesk Assistant lets you compare them across the things that matter — workflow fit, supported Autodesk software, compatibility, pricing, and reviews — and suggests which to choose based on what matters most to you.
Try asking:
- How does Export/Import Excel compare to DiRootsOne for this?
- What do users say about DiRoots?
- I'm still on Revit 202, will these products work?
Available now in tech preview
Autodesk Assistant on the Design and Make Marketplace is launching in tech preview — an early release, with capabilities that will continue to evolve. A few things to know about what that means today:
- Autodesk Assistant draws on publicly listed marketplace information. Its responses are not yet personalized to you. It doesn't factor in user-specific details and it’s recommended that you review the specifications of an app to ensure it is the correct solution for you.
- It retains context only within a conversation, and not across separate sessions yet. Start a new conversation and you start fresh.
- You can't yet purchase or start a trial directly through Autodesk Assistant. When you're ready to act, it points you to the product listing on the marketplace.
Bring your next challenge to Autodesk Assistant and see what it surfaces — describe the job, compare your options, and find the solution to close your workflow gap.
