Since this article was originally published, several new capabilities and platform investments have increased what Autodesk Assistant can help users accomplish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"whats-new-in-2026\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What&#8217;s new in 2026:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Autodesk Assistant is increasingly connected to Autodesk workflows through Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling more context-aware interactions across products and services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expanded manufacturing guidance helps users discover CAM workflows, learn manufacturing strategies, and accelerate programming tasks directly within Fusion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved contextual assistance helps users find information, understand product capabilities, and complete common workflows using natural-language prompts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ongoing investments in MCP, agent-based experiences, and connected Autodesk data are laying the foundation for more automated Design and Make workflows across Autodesk products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-isnbspautodesknbspassistant\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Autodesk Assistant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Autodesk Assistant\u00a0represents\u00a0the next major step in Autodesk\u2019s AI\u00a0evolution, a\u00a0conversational, generative AI experience designed to work naturally within the tools you use every day. Its goal is to remove friction, simplify common tasks, and help you make faster, more informed decisions. Think of it as an intuitive entry point into AI capabilities that enhance and accelerate your design process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article&nbsp;showcases&nbsp;a selection of exploratory features and concepts that are currently in development.&nbsp;It is not a product specification, and&nbsp;release&nbsp;timing is still subject to change. As such, the examples here should not be used to guide&nbsp;purchasing&nbsp;decisions. Instead, consider this a snapshot of the exciting capabilities previewed at AU2025 and a look at where&nbsp;we\u2019re&nbsp;heading.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, here are a few of the ways Autodesk Assistant is being designed to make everyday workflows more efficient&nbsp;for product designers and engineers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-autodesk-assistant-works-with-fusion-mcp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Autodesk Assistant Works with Fusion MCP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Autodesk Assistant and Fusion MCP serve complementary roles in Autodesk&#8217;s AI ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Autodesk Assistant is the conversational experience users interact with directly. Fusion MCP (Model Context Protocol) provides the structured connection between AI systems and Fusion data, commands, workflows, and design context. Together, they help bridge the gap between asking for an outcome and executing work within engineering and manufacturing environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-does-fusion-mcp-enable\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does Fusion MCP enable?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/introducing-the-fusion-mcp-opening-fusion-to-ai-powered-workflows\/\">Fusion MCP<\/a> helps AI systems understand engineering intent by providing a secure way to access relevant design data, manufacturing information, project context, and workflow actions. Rather than relying only on general AI knowledge, connected AI experiences can reference actual design and manufacturing information when helping users make decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"example-workflow-from-question-to-action\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example workflow: From question to action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A product designer might ask Autodesk Assistant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Review this design and recommend the next manufacturing steps.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Autodesk Assistant can help interpret the request, while Fusion MCP provides access to the design context needed to understand geometry, manufacturing requirements, and project information. The result is a more connected workflow where users can move from questions and guidance toward execution within Fusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Autodesk continues investing in agent-based workflows, Autodesk Assistant and MCP will play increasingly important roles in helping teams move faster from design intent to manufacturing outcomes.

The Assistant confirms changes before applying them and serves as an optional alternative to traditional user and group management tools. Whether&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;familiar with Fusion\u2019s permissions or just getting started, it guides you every step of the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"neural-cad\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Neural CAD<\/h3>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-wistia-inc wp-block-embed-wistia-inc wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height:100%;left:0;position:absolute;top:0;width:100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Neural-and-text-CMD-AA-30s-1920x1080 Video\" src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.net\/embed\/iframe\/c0595z8ff3?web_component=true&amp;dnt=1&amp;seo=true&amp;videoFoam=false\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowtransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wistia_embed\" name=\"wistia_embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" style=\"aspect-ratio:100% \/ 100%;width:100%;height:auto;\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.net\/player.js\" async><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Autodesk Assistant will intake a text prompt like \u201ccreate a contemporary air fryer\u201d into native, editable 3D geometry within the Fusion canvas. This moves beyond static mesh generation into&nbsp;truly&nbsp;modifiable design data. Removing the blank-screen barrier helps teams explore early-stage concepts faster, spark creativity, and jumpstart iterations with usable geometry ready for further refinement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"text-to-command\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Text to command<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Text to Command through Autodesk&nbsp;Fusion&nbsp;will bring natural-language interaction directly into everyday CAD modeling. Instead of hunting for tools or repeating common operations, users will be able to describe what they want to do\u2014\u201csplit this body with my construction plane,\u201d \u201cextrude this face by 1 inch,\u201d or \u201cadd a&nbsp;0.5 mm&nbsp;chamfer to all edges\u201d\u2014and Assistant will carry out the corresponding Fusion commands. It will also take on more tedious tasks, such as hiding the smallest bodies in an assembly, highlighting faces above a certain surface area, or applying the same fillet to matching edges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users will&nbsp;also&nbsp;be able to save multi-step sequences as reusable prompts and apply them across future designs.&nbsp;Something&nbsp;along the lines of&nbsp;\u201cfillet all edges, extrude the largest face by&nbsp;3mm, then split the body in half&nbsp;along the XY Plane.&nbsp;By offloading repetitive actions and routine geometry edits to natural language, Assistant will help users stay in the flow and focus more on design intent than on navigating tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"microsoftnbspai-medianbspgeneration\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Microsoft AI media generation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"2160\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 3840 \/ 2160;\" width=\"3840\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/MSFT-Render-30s-1920x1080-1.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Through Autodesk\u2019s collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft<\/a>, Autodesk Assistant will open an entirely new way for teams to communicate and present their ideas.&nbsp;You\u2019ll&nbsp;be able to&nbsp;render&nbsp;designs, gather project data, and generate Microsoft PowerPoint presentations with simple natural-language prompts. When these capabilities arrive,&nbsp;they\u2019ll&nbsp;cut down the time spent formatting slides or assembling visuals\u2014letting teams&nbsp;focus&nbsp;on insight and storytelling while Assistant handles the production work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-does-autodesk-assistant-help-cam-programmers-create-manufacturing-toolpaths\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Autodesk Assistant help CAM programmers create manufacturing toolpaths?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1080\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1920 \/ 1080;\" width=\"1920\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Toolpaths-AA-1920x1080-1.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In manufacturing, Autodesk Assistant is designed to act as a conversational guide inside Fusion\u2014helping CAM programmers and machinists get more out of the tools they already use. At launch, it will focus on answering Fusion-specific questions about manufacturing workflows and performing common tasks on request (such as \u201cmake me a milling setup\u201d) so users can move from model to NC programming with fewer clicks and less hunting through menus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Autodesk Assistant helps manufacturing teams discover appropriate manufacturing workflows, understand CAM features, and identify recommended approaches before programming begins. For organizations onboarding new CAM users, Assistant can help shorten the learning curve while improving consistency across manufacturing processes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, Autodesk Assistant is expected to deepen its role in Fusion\u2019s manufacturing experience, making it easier to discover capabilities, apply best-practice templates, and keep programming steps aligned with evolving design intent. The vision is a more connected, efficient workflow where AI reduces friction in everyday tasks, so experts can focus on decisions that drive quality, precision, and throughput.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-can-autodesk-assistant-do-in-vault-and-engineering-data-management\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can Autodesk Assistant do in Vault and engineering data management?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"2160\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 3840 \/ 2160;\" width=\"3840\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/AA-Vault-30s-1920x1080-1.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/vault\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vault<\/a>, Autodesk Assistant will extend its conversational intelligence to transform how&nbsp;teams&nbsp;access and manage their data.&nbsp;You\u2019ll&nbsp;be able to ask for things like \u201cshow me the latest released valve assembly\u201d or \u201cupdate drawings for revision C,\u201d and Assistant will translate those prompts into&nbsp;accurate&nbsp;searches and automated actions. When these capabilities arrive,&nbsp;they\u2019ll&nbsp;make advanced workflows far more&nbsp;accessible,&nbsp;allowing&nbsp;even new Vault users to&nbsp;operate&nbsp;like power users and helping organizations unlock more value from their Vault investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-does-autodesk-assistant-connect-fusion-vault-and-fusion-manage\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Autodesk Assistant Connect Fusion, Vault, and Fusion Manage?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many engineering workflows extend beyond a single application. A design may begin in Fusion, move through document control in Vault, and eventually enter change-management processes in Fusion Manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Autodesk Assistant helps reduce friction across these workflows by simplifying how users access information, locate project data, and initiate downstream processes. Rather than switching between multiple systems and commands, users can interact through natural language while maintaining the traceability and governance expected in engineering organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"lookingnbspaheadnbspautodesk-assistantnbspasnbspan-ainbspdesign-andnbspmanufacturing-partner\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking ahead: Autodesk Assistant as an AI design and manufacturing partner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Autodesk Assistant is a key part of a broader vision for Autodesk AI\u2014a connected ecosystem that spans products like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/revit\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Revit<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/autocad\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AutoCAD<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/maya\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maya<\/a>, Fusion, and Vault.
