AI-Assisted Revit Add-in Development Is Changing for AEC
AI Can Now Build App Features. Revit Add-in Development Is Changing with It. We have entered a new phase of software development. AI is no longer only suggesting snippets, writing helper functions, or completing boilerplate. It is increasingly capable of planning, building, testing, and revising actual application features. That shift matters for every software domain. But in AEC, it matters in a very specific way: **it changes who can build internal tools, and how fast they can do it.** And if that is true for web apps, it is increasingly true for Revit add-ins as well. For many years, custom add-in development in Revit followed a familiar pattern. A problem emerged inside a design firm, construction company, or engineering organization. The team documented the request, aligned requirements, secured budget, and then asked an external software company or specialized vendor to build the tool. That model still exists. But t...
