If you followed a video showing Autodesk Assistant inside Revit and then couldn't find it in Revit 2024, your installation isn't the problem. Revit 2024 does not include the built-in Autodesk Assistant. Autodesk ships it with Revit 2027 and later, and no preference, toggle or Revit 2027 setup step will make the panel appear in an older release.
You can still get AI help with native model work in 2024. ArchiLabs Desktop supports native model editing in Revit 2024 as part of its Revit 2023–2027 support range, so you can use it on the project you already have open.
How to use Autodesk Assistant in Revit 2024
In Revit 2024 itself, you can't. Autodesk's version guidance places the built-in Revit Assistant in 2027 and later, and 2024 is outside that range. In 2027 the Assistant answers help questions, queries the model and makes model changes, and Autodesk's November update notes describe newer additions such as schedule and graphics operations.
That leaves you two options. You can move the project to Revit 2027 or later to use Autodesk's own Assistant, or you can keep working in 2024 with a tool that supports that release. Moving the project is a bigger step than installing new software. Revit upgrades a project file when a newer release opens it, and the upgraded file won't open in the older version. So everyone working on the model, consultants included, generally has to move together. Many teams in the middle of a project decide to stay where they are.
Whichever way you go, add the answer to your team's setup notes. That saves the next colleague who watches the same video from spending an afternoon looking for a feature that isn't there.
AI help in Revit 2024 with ArchiLabs Desktop
ArchiLabs Desktop is a Windows application that works with native Revit and AutoCAD content and project files. You describe the task in a chat and attach whatever it needs: a spreadsheet, a PDF, a screenshot with markups, selected Revit elements, or a narrated screen recording of how your office does something. Desktop then does the work in the native model. Its public scope covers modeling, routing, schedules, tags, dimensions, sheets and families. Pricing starts at $19/month plus usage credits (pricing, checked November 13, 2026).
A good example is a documentation task that comes up on almost every project: the drawing register changes and the Revit sheets have to catch up.
Updating sheets from a revised drawing register
Say a scope change renames two sheets in the architectural set and adds a new one for an enlarged detail package. The updated register is in a spreadsheet, and the sheet list in Revit needs to match it. Doing it by hand means opening sheet properties one at a time, retyping names and numbers, and creating the new sheet with the right title block. It's slow, and it's easy to get a digit wrong.
With Desktop, you attach the register and ask it to compare the spreadsheet against the sheets in the model and show you what it would change before changing anything. Tell it which columns control the sheet number and name, and which title block to use for any new sheets. If you want to be sure it's reading the right model first, ask it to list the sheet numbers and names it sees and compare that with the Project Browser.
A good proposal covers every row in the register: which sheets get renamed, which get created and which stay as they are. If the register gives a new sheet a number that another sheet already uses, the conflict should be reported to you. It shouldn't be solved by quietly renumbering an unrelated sheet to make room.
A missing row is not a deletion
One rule saves a lot of trouble on later revisions: a missing row, a blank value and an explicit instruction to delete are three different things. A sheet can disappear from the register because someone left it off by mistake, because it moved to another package, or because it really was superseded. A blank cell might mean the value hasn't been decided yet. Tell the assistant to delete sheets only when the register explicitly says to, and to report missing rows without acting on them. The same instruction then applies every time the register is revised.
Check the sheets as well as the list
The name and number in the sheet list are a record in the model. The issued drawing is the sheet itself, with its title block, placed views, scale and exported output, and each of those can need its own check. After the update, open the sheets that changed and make sure the title block shows the new values. Any new sheet created from the register will be empty until views are placed on it, so tell whoever is preparing the issue. When you're ready to take the task further into view placement and the rest of the package, our sheet creation brief explains how to describe it.
None of this requires moving the project to Revit 2027. If you'd like to see it on your own register and sheets, try ArchiLabs Desktop in the Revit 2024 model you're already working in.
