Autodesk Assistant vs Constructable

• What each is: Autodesk describes the Assistant as a project-level agent working across connected Forma data that searches specifications, RFIs, issues, submittals, meetings, change orders and schedules in natural language and drafts emails, summaries, reports and dashboards, with a reusable prompt library; its blog (updated June 3, 2026) says the Assistant for construction workflows is out of beta and that access is based on license type and user permissions. Constructable is a full project management platform (drawings, photos and documents, punch lists and daily logs, bid management, takeoffs, RFIs and submittals, change orders and contracts, budgeting and financials) with AI built in.
• Search and answers: Constructable's AI Answer Engine searches documents, drawing details, log entries and untagged photos and links each answer to its source in the project. Autodesk says the Assistant uses its construction data model and ontology to surface related RFIs, issues, submittals and schedule items even when a term is not labeled in every record, and describes its answers as source-backed (vendor statement).
• RFIs, punch and drawings: in Forma's RFI tool, an RFI AI Agent (enabled per project) searches the project's specifications and closed RFIs as a question is typed and returns No RFI needed, RFI recommended or Couldn't determine, and AI prefill fills the title, question, category, discipline, cost and schedule impact, priority and location for review; Autodesk says photo-to-issue generation is coming soon. Constructable lists AI punch list autofill from a dictated description, automatic drawing scale detection, a Magic Extractor for tables and text on drawings, Blend Modes and automated drawing reviews that show what changed between revisions, and auto-checking submittals against specs.
• Outside tools and limits: Constructable lists full read and write integrations with ChatGPT (a plugin) and Claude (a connector), API docs and two-way syncing with accounting ERPs. The Assistant works inside Forma; Autodesk's help page (as recorded on our tool page) sets query limits of 100 per project member and 500 per project per 24 hours and says responses may not be complete or accurate.
• Pricing (checked Oct 21, 2026): Constructable publishes flat monthly rates with unlimited users, collaborators and projects: Field Management $850/month, Field and Project Management $2,000/month and Field, Project and Financial Management $3,500/month, with small-team pricing on request; its FAQ says all AI features are included in every plan. Autodesk publishes no figures: its Forma pricing page offers Model Management, Preconstruction and Construction Operations bundles, each by quote, and Assistant access depends on license type. The Procore cost comparison on Constructable's pricing page is labeled estimates only and is not repeated here.
• Not like-for-like (our reading): the Assistant is a feature of a platform a team may already license, while Constructable replaces the platform. Not used here: Autodesk's thousands-of-users and 15+ AI capabilities figures and both vendors' customer quotes. Neither tool has been tested by Means & Methods Lab.
