Is the Autodesk Assistant just another useless AI chatbot? That’s what I thought... until Autodesk gave it direct access to Fusion's core API.
Now, it’s no longer just answering basic questions. It can literally execute commands, fix geometry, and write backend scripts directly inside your active file. In this video, we look at 7 time-saving use cases that completely changed how I use Autodesk Fusion, turning this AI chatbot into an actual CAD co-pilot.
Whether you are trying to find a missing constraint in a sketch, clean up a massive assembly browser tree, or bypass the limitations of the free Personal Use license, this new prompt-to-API workflow is a game-changer.
