SOLIDWORKS AI Virtual Companions, AURA and LEO, bring conversational AI into the design workflow. Blue Tokens provide a shared, usage-based way to access their metered AI skills.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of the engineering software landscape, but the term "AI" can describe very different technologies. For SOLIDWORKS users, the important questions surround what a feature can actually do, how it is delivered, and where engineering judgment still belongs.
Long before generative AI and conversational assistants entered SOLIDWORKS, users were already relying on tools that diagnose modeling problems, recognize geometry, and automate repetitive setup. These features can feel intelligent, but they are purpose-built automation and not modern AI.
