Is AI the End of Dynamo? w/ John Pierson (Dynamo for Revit 2027)

Is AI going to replace Dynamo? Or is Dynamo about to get a whole lot more powerful because of it? In Episode #137, I'm joined by John Pierson from Autodesk to dig into what's new in Dynamo for Revit 2027... and to tackle the question on a lot of our minds: with AI tools showing up everywhere in our workflows, does visual programming still have a future? We'll cover: What's actually new in Dynamo for Revit 2027 How John is thinking about AI inside the Dynamo ecosystem Where AI helps, where it falls short, and where Dynamo still wins What this means for the architects, engineers, and BIM managers using Dynamo today ...Your live questions... Whether you've been writing Dynamo scripts for years or you've been on the fence about learning it, this one is worth showing up for. Big thanks to Guardian for sponsoring this season.
