PDF-based collaboration platform to get AI-powered automation, intelligent design review tools, advanced markups
Bluebeam has announced Bluebeam Max, a premium subscription plan due to launch early 2026 that is designed to bring a range of AI features to its PDF-based collaboration and markup tool Revu.
A new Anthropic Claude integration will bring natural-language AI prompts directly into Revu, allowing users to automate tasks and turn markup data into ‘actionable insights’.
Building on its recent acquisition of Firmus AI, Bluebeam is also introducing AI-Review and AI-Match — intelligent tools that help uncover design issues early, detect scope gaps, and compare drawings with ‘unprecedented accuracy’.
For large-scale infrastructure projects, a new Stitching feature automatically combines multiple drawing sheets into a ‘single navigable view’.
Bluebeam has also added advanced MagicWand markup tools, along with new ‘Convert to,’ ‘Duplicate as,’ and ‘Offset’ actions, helping users automate repetitive markups and speed up takeoffs with fewer manual clicks.
Rounding out the new offering, Connected Sessions with Revit now bridge 2D markups and 3D models, with a view to streamlining coordination between design and build teams.
While Bluebeam Max will initially integrate with Anthropic Claude, the company says its use of the industry-standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) will allow future connections with other AI models – including Copilot, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — as soon as those platforms offer desktop apps with MCP integration.
In addition to Bluebeam Max, the company has announced a series of updates available to all Revu subscribers, aimed at improving collaboration, mobility, and document management across projects.
A new Task Link feature connects Revu markups directly with field tasks in GoCanvas, giving office and field teams real-time visibility into project progress.
Meanwhile, Intelligent Search has been enhanced to support natural-language queries across all Studio Projects folders — whether accessed via Revu or the web — helping teams quickly locate files, comments, and markups.
There are also improvement for mobile users. On iOS, teams can now access full Studio Project functionality, work offline with sync support, and manage local files. Android users will gain these same offline and local access capabilities in early 2026.
Bluebeam has also added a DocuSign integration, enabling secure e-signatures directly within Studio Projects without the need to download or re-upload documents. Finally, new integrations with Procore, OneDrive, and SharePoint allow users to open, mark-up, and sync files seamlessly across platforms, further streamlining project workflows.
