For years I've described @OrkestraOnline as GitHub for AEC automation.
Next week that gets a lot more literal. Branches, pull requests, merges, structured diffs and full version history, now working across @DynamoBIM , @RhinoGrass and OkPy.
Real DevOps for the three automation platforms our community actually builds on. Pre-release next week!!
Documenting automation tools is crucial, but it is also very time consuming and painful. Especially when tools evolve and you need to update documentation constantly .
This is why in @OrkestraOnline 2.1, we introduced the "Documentation Run" feature.
It produces quality documentation in the time it takes to run the tool once.
It works with @DynamoBIM , @RhinoGrass and #OkPy tools, right inside @AutodeskRevit , @AutodeskCivil3D , @AutoCAD and @McNeelEurope .

I post about a lot of different things here.
An AI agent that writes Revit code. A geometry engine built from scratch in Rust. A visual programming environment that runs in the browser. A script deployment platform for AEC teams.
Looks like I can't focus 😅 Actually the opposite!!
It's all one system.
Orkestra Online is the hub. It connects your scripts, your tools, your workflows across @AutodeskRevit , @DynamoBIM , @McNeelEurope , @RhinoGrass , @AutodeskCivil3D - and soon, Forma for OkNode workflow player and sharing.
OkPy Agent is how you create automation without being a developer. OkNodes is how you build computational logic without installing anything. OkGeometry is what makes the geometry run natively in the browser.
Every piece feeds the others. The AI agent generates scripts that Orkestra deploys. OkNodes runs on OkGeometry. Orkestra ties it all together.
Automation that's easy to deploy, create, and maintain, across all your design tools. That's the whole vision !
Dynamo Core 4.1 is out. 🎉
This release has some very nice quality-of-life updates: editable default group styles, Home/End canvas navigation, better inline Watch cleanup, Package Manager improvements, Documentation Browser AutoSync, template thumbnails, geometry fixes, performance work, and a healthy pile of bug fixes.
Small but mighty things that make daily graph work feel better. My favorite kind of release.
Behind the scenes we’ve been putting a lot of energy into some fun package work around Autodesk Assistant and Switchboard, so check those out too! Check it out: https://t.co/4191WCTvyP
Dynamo turns 10 - and we’re celebrating the v1.0.0 milestone that helped set a foundation for a more stable, extensible future.
This post looks back at why 1.0.0 mattered, highlights stories from the community, and points toward what’s next: Dynamo + MCP and early agentic workflows.

The Dynamo Text package has been updated with new features (font selection, italic, bold). Get it on the package manager now!
yes this announcement was made in comic sans.
Today we launch the OkPyTools website !
We'll be sharing free automation tools for Revit, Civil 3D and Rhino using @OrkestraOnline OkPy.
We're open to suggestions and will be adding new entries on a weeky basis :) So let us know if you have suggestions !

Revit 2027 + Civil 3D 2027 are live. 🎉
If Dynamo is in your workflow, this is a great time to skim the Dynamo Core 4.0 release highlights and see what’s worth adopting (or testing) in your graphs.

Got this boolean operation benchmark down to a pretty crazy number!! 360ms!! For reference, Grasshopper takes over 2s on the same case. And yes this runs entierly in the browser :D Link in comments if you want to play with @OrkestraOnline#OkNodes .
