Don't AI Everything: Hybrid Automation with Autodesk Platform Services and Revit

Automation specialists are increasingly tasked with finding areas to implement AI. But how do we decide when AI is the correct tool and when deterministic automation serves better? Through a live demo of an AI-augmented building regulation compliance checker running on Autodesk Platform Services, we will explore a practical hybrid framework. The Automation API and Revit software handle rule evaluation through a deterministic engine. Large language models (LLMs) extract compliance rules from regulation documentation and explain failures in natural language. And the Viewer SDK provides visual context. We'll demonstrate a human-in-the-loop approach and show how AI architecture adapts rapidly when regulations change or new markets require new rule sets.
