The Living Building: How AI, Omniverse, and Tandem Are Redefining Digital Twins
We’re entering a new era for the built world, one where AI doesn’t just interpret buildings, it helps them think.
For years, BIM gave us a digital record of our projects. Now, with platforms like Autodesk Tandem and NVIDIA Omniverse, that record is evolving into a living system — a Digital Twin that learns, predicts, and responds.
At Matechi, we see this shift every day.
AI is becoming the connective tissue between disconnected data sources — Revit, Tandem, sensors, schedules, and cost systems, and transforming them into insight.
A well-trained AI agent can:
Detect missing or inconsistent asset data.
Predict maintenance issues before they happen.
Analyze cost and performance trends in real time.
Simulate “what-if” scenarios across hundreds of design or operational decisions.
That’s where Omniverse comes in: a space where these Twins can interact, where models, materials, and behaviors merge into a single, intelligent simulation.
And Tandem grounds it all, organizing information into a structured language that AI can read, reason over, and act upon.
In our work at Matechi, we’re building agents that make this possible, bridging APIs, automating data hygiene, and turning disconnected information into continuous intelligence for owners, designers, and operators.
The result?
A building that’s not just documented, but aware.
A digital ecosystem that helps teams design better, build smarter, and operate sustainably, powered by AI.
