Autom8Labs launches AEC skills for AI agents

Excerpt from AEC Magazine

Guides AI agent through tasks in Revit, AutoCAD, 3ds Max and more, with “clear steps” for doing the work and checking the result Autom8Labs has released 22 free MCP Skills, which work alongside the company’s relevant MCP Connectors for Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, Grasshopper, MicroStation, 3ds Max, Rhino, Civil 3D and Advance Steel. Rather than simply telling an AI agent what to do, each MCP skill guides it through the steps an experienced professional would follow. “Giving an AI agent access to a design application doesn’t automatically mean it knows the best way to work in it,” said James Gray, Autom8Labs. “The MCP Connectors give your AI agent the tools. Skills give it the method.”

    Trimble embeds AI across AECO

    Trimble Connect platform introduces AI agents and automation to improve project coordination, manage risk and streamline workflows Trimble has embedded AI within Trimble Connect , expanding the platform beyond its traditional role as a common data environment (CDE) to connect site information with design, cost and operational workflows. The new capabilities are intended to help teams identify and mitigate risks across the project lifecycle, while keeping human judgement at the centre of decision-making. Unveiled at Trimble’s Dimensions User Conference, the AI capabilities span design, construction and project operations. In design, they include generating architectural options using live as-built point-cloud data, converting natural-language prompts into constructible structural models, and automatically classifying scanned point clouds into structural elements. For construction teams, applications include AI-powered diagnostics for machine-control systems, converting 360-degree site walk videos into 3D point clouds, and voice-driven site inspections that automatically transcribe observations and link them to project drawings.

    G2 Digital launches quad-GPU 2U server

    UK-manufactured 2U Q-Power offers firms an on-premise alternative to premium cloud AI services G2 Digital, a UK specialist in custom-built rack-mount computers, has launched the 2U Q-Power, a high-performance GPU server designed for complex AI workloads and rendering. The system can accommodate up to four dual slot Nvidia RTX GPUs, offering twice the capacity of most conventional 2U servers and greater computing density within a rack. This is made possible by a custom chassis design that mounts the GPUs horizontally, parallel to the motherboard. When configured with four Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Max-Q GPUs, the Q-Power delivers 384 GB of combined GPU memory, enabling organisations to run demanding AI workloads entirely on-site. This includes large language models (LLMs) with 70 billion parameters at full precision, as well as significantly larger models using lower-precision formats and quantisation.
