Fellow Archicad professionals,
The AI integration landscape is moving faster than anticipated, and we're at a crossroads that will define Archicad's relevance in the next 18 months.
Current reality: While Revit users are already integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) with advanced AI models (Claude, GPT-4, DeepSeek), Archicad remains isolated from this rapidly evolving ecosystem. This isn't just about convenience - it's about fundamental workflow transformation.
What MCP enables:
- Direct AI model access to BIM data structures
- Real-time design optimization and error detection
- Automated documentation and specification generation
- Intelligent clash detection beyond traditional methods
- Natural language model queries and modifications
The competitive gap: Projects that would take weeks in traditional Archicad workflows are being completed in days using AI-integrated Revit environments. This isn't theoretical - it's happening now in major firms.
Our ask to Graphisoft: Prioritize native MCP protocol support in Archicad's API roadmap. This integration should enable:
- Secure, read-only model data exposure to AI models
- Controlled write operations through validated AI responses
- Standardized data formatting for AI consumption
Community action needed: If this resonates with your experience, please amplify this request through your Graphisoft contacts, enterprise accounts, and development channels. Individual voices become powerful when unified.
The question isn't whether AI will transform BIM workflows - it's whether Archicad will lead or follow this transformation.
Timeline matters. Every quarter of delay compounds our competitive disadvantage.
Who else sees this as mission-critical for Archicad's future?
