Smart Keynotes replaces Revit's built-in keynote workflow with a modern, AI-powered keynote manager built for architects.

KEYNOTE MANAGER

Your central hub for viewing, editing, and organizing all keynotes in the current project. The three-panel layout gives you a full keynote tree, a create/edit form, and smart suggestions — all in one window.

AI ASSIST — GENERATE & DISCUSS

Describe what you need in plain language — "ceramic tile for a commercial restroom floor" — and AI drafts professional keynote text, assigns the correct ID, and suggests where it belongs in the hierarchy. Use the Discuss mode to refine wording in a chat conversation.

KEYNOTE BROWSER

A dockable side panel for quick lookup and placement. Search, browse, tag elements, and place user keynotes without leaving your view.

KEYNOTE TYPES

Place Element, User, and Material keynotes from one dropdown. Multi-material elements show a picker so you can choose the right layer.

BATCH RENUMBER

Renumber an entire division with a configurable prefix, separator, and numbering style. Preview every change before applying. Automatically updates all placed tags in the model.

USAGE INSPECTOR

See exactly which keynotes are placed in your model, which elements carry them, and where they live.

MISSING KEYNOTES

Detect keynotes referenced in the model but missing from the keynote file — before they show up on a sheet.

PURGE UNUSED

Find and remove keynotes that aren't placed anywhere in the model. Keep your keynote file clean.

DUPLICATE NOTES

Find and merge duplicate keynote entries across your file.

REFERENCE STANDARDS & SUGGESTED PRODUCTS

The manager automatically surfaces relevant ASTM, ANSI, and IBC standards plus manufacturer products related to the material you're working with.

OFFICE STANDARD

Point to your firm's master keynote file in Settings. Generate new project keynotes from the office master in one click.

AUTO-BACKUP

Automatically backs up your keynote file before every edit. Never lose work.
