Bill Allen is Director of Products at Chaos, where he orchestrates a dynamic synergy aimed at empowering Architects, Engineers, and Contractors to optimize the built environment through the strategic application of artificial intelligence and data-driven design. An accomplished public speaker, he has graced the stage as a keynote and featured speaker at numerous prestigious events, including the most-watched Autodesk University talk, titled ‘The Future of BIM is NOT BIM, And It’s Coming Faster Than You Think.’ Beyond his professional pursuits, Bill is a co-founder of The Bare Roots Foundation, a nonprofit organization embodying his dedication to global humanitarian efforts.
The construction documentation phase is traditionally one of the most labor-intensive steps in the design process, but AI is changing that. In this session, we’ll explore how Glyph, an AI-powered tool, is automating and streamlining the creation of construction documents. You’ll see how large language models (LLMs) and generative AI techniques are being applied to interpret models, generate construction documents, and reduce manual drafting effort.
We are now seeing the delivery of autodrawing technology in CAD applications. The early capabilities will be useful and focussed on less detailed drawings, but this is just the start of a journey and even the ones commercially available are not really using deep AI.
Grabert is first to market, Qonic is showing what it means in the context of models and EvolveLabs (now part of Chaos) has Glyph, which sits inside of Revit. Meanwhile, HOK’s Greg Schleusner has been relentlessly pursuing this capability from design tool developers and is just starting to see his dreams come true. Join us in find out what’s possible and what’s coming next.
