Autodesk Assistant is a powerful tool, but like all AI systems, it has limitations. Understanding these limitations and following best practices helps you use the Assistant effectively and get the best results.

If you do not see Autodesk Assistant, it may not be available in your region, or your company may have chosen to opt out.
AI-generated responses may not always be complete or accurate. Before taking action based on the Assistant's response:
Double-check critical information. Verify important details against official documentation or your own expertise.
Review automated changes. If the Assistant makes changes to your work, review them before saving or sharing.
Use your judgment. You know your project best. Use the Assistant's suggestions as a starting point, not a final answer.
For an overview of what the Assistant can do, see What can Autodesk Assistant do in InfoWater Pro.
The Assistant has some important limitations:
AI-generated responses are based on patterns and probabilities. The Assistant may:
Misunderstand your question
Provide outdated information
Occasionally generate incorrect information
The Assistant works with:
Autodesk product documentation (http://help.autodesk.com)
Your current project (in products that support this capability)
Your product's built-in tools (when available)
MCP servers (which can provide additional tools and data connections)
The tools and features available in Autodesk Assistant vary by product. What the Assistant can do in one product may not be available in another. See your product's help documentation for specific capabilities.
The Assistant is a productivity tool, not a substitute for your expertise. Use your professional knowledge to evaluate the Assistant's suggestions, especially for design decisions and industry-specific requirements that require human creativity, judgment, or professional expertise.
The more context you provide, the better the Assistant can help. For example, in Revit you might specify element types or view names; in Fusion, you could mention component names or sketch details.
If the first response is not quite right, ask a clarifying question or try rephrasing. The Assistant can refine its answer based on additional information.
For complex questions or tasks, break them into smaller parts. Ask the Assistant one thing at a time, then build on each response.
Your feedback helps improve Autodesk Assistant. When the Assistant gives you a response, you can rate it and add comments.
If the Assistant provides an incorrect response or takes an unexpected action:
Undo the action. Use your product's Undo function to revert changes, when necessary.
Provide feedback. Click thumbs down and describe what went wrong.
Try rephrasing. Ask your question a different way.
Check documentation. For complex tasks, your product's official documentation has detailed guidance.
