BIMPulse Presents ... Skema AI (in Los Angeles)
Wed, Oct 21, 12:30 AMA fan favorite is back on the schedule: Skema joins BIMPulse this October for a session on AI-assisted BIM workflows. Years of design decisions are sitting inside Revit models, details, and assemblies. Most of that knowledge never leaves the project it was built for. Skema's team will be showcasing how it can value to your workflows through proven design intelligence, accelerated through AI and computational power. Expect a technical, hands-on look at real workflows and project examples. **Learning Objectives** * Identify how Skema captures design assemblies from a firm’s past projects without contributing that data to a shared or centralized AI training model, and recognize how the Design Catalog approach differs from Revit group-based reuse methods. * Describe how Skema’s bidirectional Revit integration preserves parametric data, families, and metadata (not just geometry) while syncing design changes between the browser-based design environment and native Revit models, without the need for remodeling when moving from schematic to design development, * Explain how Skema’s model federation and analytic model extend design workflows across phases by spatially organizing and coordinating multiple source models (Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, SketchUp, IFC) within a single project * Recognize how maintaining data fidelity throughout the design process reduces the coordination errors and rework typically introduced by AI-generated or translated geometry. * Recognize next steps for evaluating or piloting Skema, including ways to incorporate into existing workflows, how to assemble a project team, ideal typologies, and ways to define success.

UX + AI Design: Breakfast + Talk on AI Workflows
Sat, Oct 17, 4:30 PMCurious how designers are actually using AI today and learn how other people are using AI in design? Join the our AI Design LA meetup! Breakfast, coffee, and a room of designers, researchers, design engineers, and other interested folks figuring out AI-native ways of working, whether that means Cursor and Claude Code or just getting past ChatGPT for the first time. It's local LA area people comparing notes on what's actually working and what's still frustrating. We're just getting started so now is a great time to join the fun. **The flow** 9:30 — Breakfast, coffee, meet people 9:45 — Quick intro, why this group exists 10:30 — Break out into small groups of 3 to 4: show off either your prototype, design, and/or AI related project 11:00 — Feedback loop 11:15+ — Collaborate (or Cowork) on the spot with new friends or solo Study session for 1 hour Bring a laptop if you've got something to show. No pressure, we'd love to see it either way. IKEA Burbank — free parking, easy off the 5/101/134/170, light Saturday traffic. Exact meeting spot posted in the comments before Saturday.

BIMPulse Presents ... BIMLogiq (Los Angeles)
Fri, Nov 6, 1:30 AM**The Evolution of AI in AEC: From AI assistants to AI Agents** AI in AEC has evolved significantly over the past few years. We started with chatbots, then moved to AI copilots that could understand Revit and help users accomplish tasks. Around three years ago, BIMLOGIQ took this a step further with **BIMLOGIQ Copilot and its own fine-tuned code-generation engine**, enabling AI to generate Revit API code and create custom automations. These approaches still have limitations—they generally rely on precise prompts, predefined tools and workflows and require users to define what the AI can do. The next step is **AI agents**: AI that can reason about a goal, break complex problems into steps, write its own tools, choose and use the right tools, and adapt as it works. This is where **Argus** comes in. Argus is a fully multi-agentic platform built for AEC, where specialized agents can work together to perform complex Revit workflows. In this session, we'll demonstrate how Argus works and show how you can create your own agents to automate workflows that traditional add-ins and automation approaches simply can't handle. Learning Objectives * **Identify** the limitations of traditional Revit add-ins and rule-based automation compared to adaptive, agent-driven workflows. * **Recognize** how AI assistants interact with Revit and act on the live model. * **Apply** AI-assisted code generation to build simple Revit add-ins that automate repetitive documentation tasks. * **Compare** single-task automation (commands) with multi-agent orchestration, and understand when each delivers the most value. * **Outline** the key components of an AI agent, including instructions, tools, context, and feedback loops; how they work together within Revit.
