Welcome to this week’s edition of Architecture Insights.

Last week we looked at how architects can use ChatGPT plugins to create cost estimates. This week we look at using plug-ins to summarize and export PDFs from ChatGPT.

Update: As of April 2024 ChatGPT has eliminated the plugin function, you can now access the features mentioned below with the GPT Store.

This Week In AI

Copilot Pro

Microsoft's AI-powered tool Copilot Pro is now available for all users of Office Suite.

When launched back in November 2023, Copilot was only available to select businesses and organizations.

Deloitte AI Report

In a recent report by Deloitte, 79% of organizations think AI is going to impact their industry and practice within the next 1-3 years. (industries/organizations outside of AEC included).

AEC companies and organizations remain at the forefront of AI implementation and should remain aware of relevant changes and developments in AI across different disciplines.

ChatGPT Plugins

PDF Creator

Here is an example of the 'PDF creator plugin in use:

Suppose you engage with ChatGPT to obtain design inspiration and project information for a large-scale outdoor sports stadium. You have been gathering useful information on past projects to use in a presentation that will demonstrate potential design opportunities.

After receiving the information from ChatGPT, you want to compile everything into a readable PDF.

Here is the following example:

At the end, we can download the new PDF.

The PDF creator also functions as an editor so you can change text and add images.
