ReviX, a free add-in for Revit 2024 to 2027, has reached version 1.1 with two AI features. The headline one, AI Connect, links Revit to an AI app you already use in a single click.
What’s new
ReviX is an independent toolbox covering rooms and finishes, door numbering, sheets, parameters, coordination and clash checks. Version 1.1.0, announced on LinkedIn on November 14, 2026, adds:
- AI Connect. Links Revit to Claude, ChatGPT / Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, VS Code Copilot or Windsurf without editing configuration files. The developer says it runs on your computer, needs no API key and sends nothing to ReviX. Each change made by the AI is a single Revit undo step.
- AI Chat. A chat panel docked inside Revit that uses your own API key from Anthropic, OpenAI or Google. Requests go only to the provider you choose.
The project page says the AI app “talks to Revit locally”. It does not name the protocol, although connecting all of these clients usually relies on the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Requirements and install
- Revit 2024, 2025, 2026 or 2027, Windows only. One installer of about 30 MB covers every version.
- Free to download, with no paid tier mentioned.
- No admin rights needed. Close Revit, run the installer, then click “Always Load” when Revit starts.
- The installer is unsigned, so Windows and Revit show an “Unknown Publisher” prompt. Some tools in the ribbon are still greyed out and marked as roadmap items.
Why it matters
Connecting a general AI assistant to Revit has meant setting up an MCP server and editing JSON files by hand. A one-click link lowers that barrier for users who are not developers.
Before you install it at work:
- Check your firm’s policy on unsigned add-ins and on AI tools with write access to models.
- Test on a copy of a project first. One undo step per AI change helps, but it does not replace a backup.
- Remember that with AI Chat, model content you share goes to the AI provider you picked, under that provider’s terms.
