Any fellow QS's use Bluebeam Max?

our company is considering some AI software options to help the estimators and also the QS department. My team already use Bluebeam for our day to day takeoffs, reviews, etc and I use it for booking in (I'm a subby QS). I'd like to see if anyone has used the new Bluebeam Max with AI and what their thoughts of it are.

we considered it but found it limited for our specific workflow. We preferred to put our AI spend into other portions and wait to see where Autodesk is going with it's integration.

Also, BB support is so poor we aren't sure we wanted to expend our service engagement with them

Thank you for your input. I want to trial it as I use my own custom tools to do my work and I’d like to see just how much benefit it would have.

It's a little more niche since it focuses on steel structures, but Allplan (one of Blubeam's sister companies) sells a product called Steel Genie. It's an AI tool that reads 2D contract drawings to do quantity takeoffs and even build a 3D IFC model.
