_New specialized and agentic AI across Autodesk Forma, Autodesk Fusion, and Autodesk
Flow turns connected industry data and project context into project intelligence
customers can act on _

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At Autodesk University 2026, Autodesk (
NASDAQ: ADSK) previewed new agentic AI across its three industry clouds: Autodesk
Forma for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction; Autodesk Fusion for Design
and Manufacturing; and Autodesk Flow for Media and Entertainment. Together, these
new capabilities are shaping the next generation of Autodesk Assistant, extending
Autodesk’s agentic AI experience across products, projects, and teams rather than
inside a single tool, and drawing on connected project data to understand not just
the question being asked, but the project behind it.

Autodesk Assistant is generally available today across many Autodesk products, including
Fusion, Forma, and Flow, where it helps customers work with Autodesk AI inside the
tools they already use. The next-generation experience extends beyond any single
product. Rather than requiring professionals to know which Autodesk product or AI
capability to reach for, the next generation experience starts from what they are
trying to accomplish, brings forward the relevant information and capabilities, 
and keeps professionals in control. 

This next-generation experience is designed to connect project intelligence with
the right Autodesk capabilities across products, projects, and teams, including 
through a standalone experience planned for 2027.

"The constraint in our industries has never been about ideas. It’s capacity," said
Andrew Anagnost, president and CEO of Autodesk. "And for Design and Make professionals,‘
probably right’ is wrong because their work has consequences in the real world. 
Our three industry clouds, Forma, Fusion, and Flow, connect the people, data and
workflows that make industries work. Autodesk Assistant is how we bring intelligence
to customers today, and the next generation will extend that experience across products,
projects and teams. And because that intelligence is grounded in more than four 
decades of Autodesk industry expertise, we can bring customers the right capabilities
at the right moment, so they can focus on the problem they need to solve, not the
product they need to solve it."

Autodesk’s advantage is not just understanding what a customer is trying to do. 
It is combining project intelligence with the specialized design, engineering, simulation,
manufacturing, and production capabilities required to turn intent into trusted,
real-world outcomes. General-purpose AI can reason across many kinds of information;
Autodesk can ground that reasoning in the geometry, constraints, physics, processes,
and project history that determine whether something can actually be designed, built,
manufactured, or produced.

**Why project context and industry expertise matter** 

Design and Make AI has to do something harder: understand the specialized context
and constraints of real-world projects, such as buildings, infrastructure, products,
manufacturing processes, characters, scenes, schedules, specifications, and the 
relationships between all of them.

Autodesk’s three industry clouds supply that context. Forma connects data and workflows
across architecture, engineering and construction. Fusion connects design and manufacturing.
Flow connects media and entertainment. Together with more than four decades of Autodesk
industry expertise, they create what the company calls project intelligence: actionable
intelligence drawn from connected project data, industry context and AI.

The difference becomes tangible when something changes. Consider a structural change
to a building. The next generation of Assistant can understand that change in the
context of the project, identify its downstream impacts on fabrication, schedule,
cost, construction sequencing, and operations, and bring forward the Autodesk capabilities
needed to act. Instead of simply describing the problem, Assistant can connect project
intelligence to the precise design, engineering, and production tools teams rely
on to evaluate options and move toward a trusted, buildable outcome.

"Project teams don’t work in one tool or one part of a project, and the next generation
of Autodesk Assistant reflects that," said Marius Jablonskis, Digital Transformation
Leader at Norconsult, a pan-Nordic interdisciplinary consulting firm that specializes
in engineering, architecture, and digital expertise. "The potential is to bring 
the right project context into the workflow so teams can understand what needs attention
and act on it more easily. We also see real value in being able to bring our own
tools and intelligence into the experience alongside Autodesk’s."

**What the next generation of Autodesk Assistant does **

The next-generation Assistant is built around three priorities:

 ◦ **Understand what needs attention.** Personal Pulse surfaces prioritized issues
   and insights across projects. Assistant Spaces gives teams and their agents a
   focused environment to investigate a problem, collaborate on it, and see its 
   downstream effects.
 ◦ **Act across workflows.** Assistant brings Autodesk’s specialized design, engineering,
   and creative AI together with the precise capabilities professionals rely on 
   to simulate, manufacture, and produce their work, turning intent into trusted,
   reviewable outcomes through natural-language and voice interaction.
 ◦ **Bring your own intelligence.** Assistant Builder lets customers connect their
   own AI agents, tools and trusted partner services to Autodesk project context,
   with support planned for third-party agents from the Design & Make Marketplace.

Behind the experience, Autodesk AI Orchestrator evaluates models based on the needs
of a particular task, including accuracy, speed, security, and cost, allowing Autodesk
to draw on different forms of intelligence rather than relying on a single model
for every problem.

The result is an intelligence layer that connects reasoning with action across Autodesk’s
Design and Make Platform and industry clouds. It combines project intelligence with
the specialized AI and precise capabilities customers rely on to turn ideas into
real-world outcomes. Autodesk Assistant is available inside products customers use
today and will extend across products, projects, and teams through the next generation
of Assistant.

**Built for professional work **

Autodesk Assistant is grounded in actual project context and, like every Autodesk
AI capability, is evaluated for data integrity, privacy and risk. Autodesk publishes
AI Transparency Cards for Autodesk Assistant, covering the data and technologies
used, safeguards, and known limitations. Autodesk Assistant is designed to support
professional judgment, with appropriate controls and human oversight.

In Autodesk’s [2027 State of Design & Make Report](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4772462-1&h=1694982453&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.autodesk.com%2Fdesign-make%2Fresearch%2Fstate-of-design-and-make-2027&a=2027+State+of+Design+%26+Make+Report),
70% of Design and Make leaders and experts surveyed said they expect AI to reduce
mundane and repetitive work and give them added capacity to focus on the judgment,
creativity and expertise the work actually requires.

**Availability **

Autodesk Assistant is already available today within Autodesk industry clouds and
across many Autodesk products, including Fusion, Forma, and Flow. Autodesk is previewing
the expanded nextgeneration experience at AU 2026. The next-generation experience
is not yet generally available.
