Artifacts

Artifacts are structured outputs produced by Assistant during a conversation or workflow. They appear in a panel alongside the chat and can be downloaded and versioned.

Types of Artifacts

Documents

Markdown documents are rich text outputs. Assistant produces these when asked to summarize findings, write a report, fill out a checklist, or produce any structured written output. Documents can be exported as Word or PDF.

HTML documents (decks & one-pagers)

Self-contained HTML artifacts are used for slide decks and designed one-pagers. Assistant creates these when you ask for a PowerPoint, presentation, or leave-behind. Preview them in the artifact panel and export as editable PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF (.pdf), or raw HTML.

Tables

Tables are structured data outputs with rows and columns. Assistant produces these when asked to compare items, extract information across multiple files, or produce a results matrix—for example, a submittal compliance table or a code check results list. Tables can be exported as Excel or JSON.

Drawing Review

Drawing review is a specialized artifact produced by drawing review workflows. When Assistant checks a set of engineering drawings against a standard or checklist, it produces an annotated PDF with issues marked directly on the drawing sheets, alongside a table summarizing each finding. Reviewers move findings through statuses (New, Accepted, Exported, Addressed, Ignored) and can push accepted items to Autodesk Forma or Fieldwire as issues, tasks, or RFIs when the cited drawings come from those integrations. The annotated PDF uses standard PDF callout markups that are compatible with Bluebeam Revu, PDF-XChange, and Adobe Acrobat, and can be downloaded via the PDF icon in the artifact panel header. The accompanying findings table can also be exported as Excel or JSON via the download icon. See Drawing Review for details.

Viewing Artifacts

When Assistant produces an artifact, it opens in the artifact panel on the right side of the screen. You can also access artifacts from the conversation by clicking the artifact link in the message.

The artifact panel shows the full content—rendered markdown for documents, an interactive HTML preview for decks/one-pagers, or an interactive table for tables.

Access and sharing

Artifacts follow the permissions of the conversation, workflow run, or workflow seed that created them. Sharing a session or workflow run lets teammates view its generated artifacts when they have access to that shared context; it does not make private source files or unrelated artifacts visible.

Version History

Every time Assistant updates an artifact, a new version is saved. Click the clock icon in the artifact panel header to see all versions. Click any version to view it. The current version is shown by default.

Downloading Artifacts

Click the download icon in the artifact panel header to export the artifact.

Artifact type	Export options
Document	Markdown (.md), Word (.docx), PDF (.pdf)
HTML document	PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF (.pdf), HTML (.html)
Table	Excel (.xlsx), JSON (.json)

Org admins can upload a .docx reference template so every Word export inherits the organization's fonts, colors, and headings — see the Export Template section in Admin Settings.

Artifacts in Workflows

Workflows can include linked artifacts: markdown documents attached to the workflow so the agent can read and update them across runs. They work best for stable reference material, such as legends, terminology tables, or standards excerpts.

You can configure linked artifacts in the Workflow Builder under Linked Artifacts. See Workflow Builder for details.
