Tailor-made solutions inside your Autodesk products
Jose Luis Baquero Rivera · Senior Consultant, AI Solutions
My job is solving problems: AI agents and automations that live inside
Vault, Inventor, AutoCAD and Forma to make your processes more
efficient — fewer clicks, fewer errors, fewer wasted hours.
“My purpose is to serve people by solving problems.”
Technology — with or without AI — is the means. The real work is making processes more efficient and removing friction from engineering teams' day-to-day.
The proof
What I've built
Real work, in production or in active development. Every project was born from a concrete problem faced by teams who live inside Autodesk every day.
01 — FLAGSHIP PRODUCT
VaultPilot
In partnership with Avant Leap
The AI brain for Autodesk Vault Professional
The problem: product data management (PDM) burns hours in repetitive clicks. The solution: the first native AI agent for Vault Professional 2026, turning natural language into precise, audited operations.
28 production tools across 9 categories: search, lifecycles, properties, bulk operations, BOM, ECOs, jobs, ERP and XLSX/PDF/CSV reports
9 anti-hallucination safety layers: dry-run with confirmation, validation against the live Vault schema, write verification, hard limits and full auditing
Every chat runs with the user's own credentials — Vault keeps enforcing its permissions, no admin backdoors
3 surfaces: chat panel inside Vault Client + native add-ins for AutoCAD 2026 and Inventor 2026 (iProperties sync)
Pre-release audit: validates a complete assembly in seconds instead of 20 minutes of clicking
.NET 8 + Vault SDK 2026 stack — on its way to the Autodesk App Store
02 — AI IN INVENTOR
AI Design Assistant
From Chat to CAD — tell Inventor what to build, and it builds it
The problem: hours of repetitive modeling. The solution: an AI assistant embedded in Inventor 2026 that generates parametric parts and assemblies from natural language.
Conversational assistant inside the Inventor interface, working on the active model
Parametric parts and assemblies generated from natural-language instructions
.NET add-in with Content Center and assembly-template integration
Replicable pattern: the same architecture can automate any design workflow in Inventor
03 — DATA AUTOMATION
Content Center + Piping
Thousands of families and styles, managed from Excel and code
The problem: managing Content Center by hand doesn't scale. The solution: a suite that exports, edits and creates families and piping styles in bulk.
Vault Explorer add-in that exports complete Content Center libraries to Excel, using the client's already-authenticated session
Inventor add-in that mass-creates Tube & Pipe styles from an Excel configuration file, resolving components against Content Center families
Content Center Smart Editor: tools to edit, populate and fix families at the XML level, with backups and logs for every operation
Real-world case: migration and standardization of conduit and piping libraries across Inventor versions
04 — AUTODESK FORMA
Forma as a CDE
Real project-information governance, at infrastructure scale
The problem: large projects without a single source of truth. The solution: Autodesk Forma configured as a Common Data Environment for a large-scale airport infrastructure program.
Design of the hub's master template: replicable projects with validated configuration
Folder structure, permission levels and inheritance in Docs; modules enabled by role
Attributes, metadata and naming aligned with ISO 19650
Review and approval workflows, issues, forms, model coordination and cost management
Change governance: test hub → validation → source of truth → replication to the production template
The validation
Autodesk put it on their stage
Don't take my word for it: Autodesk selected this architecture for its flagship technical event. Speaker at Autodesk University 2026.

Vault Meets AI: Automating Lifecycle, Revisions, Content Center, and ERP with Intelligence
How to connect AI to the Autodesk Vault API to automate the full PDM spectrum: properties, lifecycles, revisions, approvals, Content Center and ERP sync — with an agent architecture and a live demo.
Documented result: up to 70% less PDM administrative overhead
Same stack · Inventor + AI
From Chat to CAD — design assistants inside Inventor
Inventor API + MCP + LLM architecture to run design commands from natural language.
Same stack · Structural design
From Specs to Shop Drawings — industrial structures with AI
A pipeline from natural-language specs to a documented model with shop drawings.
The service
Solving problems. That's the service.
Sometimes the answer is an AI agent; sometimes it's a well-built add-in, a simple automation or a clean implementation. The starting point is always the problem, never the tool.
Core service
Tailor-made solutions — with and without AI
I build the tool your operation needs and the market doesn't sell: add-ins, automations and integrations on top of Vault, Inventor, AutoCAD and Forma. When AI adds value, I integrate it with safety and auditing; when it doesn't, I don't force it.
Process diagnosis: where time is lost, where errors happen, what can be automated
Native .NET add-ins for Vault, Inventor and AutoCAD, built on the official Autodesk SDKs
AI agents where they add real value: dry-run, per-user permissions and full auditing
Automation without AI when that's the right call: iLogic, scripts, Excel and ERP integrations
