permission to use AI assistant

[Quirk]

Tried to access AI assistant and was greeted with the "Oh no....You do not have the necessary permissions (sic) to use the AI Assistant. Contact your system administrator for more information." How does one gain the required "permissions"? Ironically this is the type of question one would normally pose to the AI assistant.

Hi @Quirk,

Thank you for your message!

The AI Assistant is available only for Archicad Collaborate, Studio, and Solo subscription licenses (cloud licenses). If you are using perpetual software key licenses, AI features will not be available. This article provides more information: AI Assistant in Archicad.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

is this a feature that will be available soon also for the perpetual license? I don't find this fair to all the users of Archicad. We purchased a product with full features, this was not mentioned before. It is the same with the AI visualizer.

As someone myself who doesn't really care about these new 'AI' tools they're introducing (because of how clunkily and brain-dead they've been implemented)  and who therefore isn't affected by these sort of ming-boggling decisions they're making, I still feel bad for people like yourself now getting short-changed as a result of them trying to force you to switch to subscription.

To me this is just Graphisoft telling you they don't want your money,  nor respect you enough to find a better way to convince you to switch to subscription than using tacky tactics like this.

Plan your future accordingly.

Most of the new features that are here and that are coming rely on cloud services and are only available to subscription users. Hopefully you did not just purchase a perpetual licence just before they stopped offering them with the intention of using said features...

Ling.

quite disappointing - I see no reason for this elimination..
