Don't bother with AI assistant - it is not even as good at answering ArchiCAD-specific questions as a general purpose AI like Copilot.
AI assistant, despite a couple of years development, is still wrong more often than it is right, giving clear evidence that it has no comprehension of the relationships between things supposedly within its own domain.
I am finding that any answers it generates are often an unholy mashup between unrelated things, chosen presumably because those things involve use of broadly similar words, with little sense of recognition of the actual context or applicability.
Copilot, for what it is worth, also does far better at answering building code and construction related questions - amazingly. And it is free.
You still need to independently check all answers from any AI, but you will tend to get more logically coherent and more likely accurate answers elsewhere, saving you time and aggravation.
Similarly, AI visualizer is a mess, offering nothing of value to anyone with an understanding of buildings or the capacity to design them. - another gimmick.
The depressing thing for the architect user base is that developing all these marketing-gimmick features, and 'me-too' features for unrelated disciplines, is clearly where the bulk of our huge subscription fees are going.
