Description
At the top of this session, I'll give an AI agent a real electrical design task: review the electrical system in a Revit model, determine what's circuited, identify what needs power, and circuit those loads. Along the way it will hit the questions an engineer actually has to answer. Do we add another panel, or work with what's there? How do we split the loads across panels?
While the agent works in the background, we'll look at how MCP connects AI to Revit, what tools an electrical engineer might give an agent, and where the engineer needs to stay in control.
You'll leave knowing what AI agents can and can't reliably do in Revit today, and how to start experimenting yourself. Whether the agent succeeds, stalls, or takes a wrong turn, you'll see exactly where the line falls.
Key Learnings
- Explain how Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets an AI agent use tools in Revit instead of only generating answers.
- Identify which electrical design tasks in Revit are good candidates for AI assistance and which are not.
- Implement a human-in-the-loop workflow that keeps AI-driven Revit changes reviewable before they are committed.
- Evaluate what Revit tools and permissions an AI agent should have and where an engineer should remain in control.
