Meet Wise

Wise is the AI assistant built into ClashWise. Wherever you see AI at work in the product — answering questions about your clashes, updating statuses from a chat, explaining a clash, or drafting meeting minutes — that's Wise.

What Wise does

Wise understands the clash sets you have published to ClashWise. You can ask questions in plain language ("Which clashes are still unassigned on Level 3?"), give instructions ("Set these to Critical and assign them to the mechanical contact"), and let Wise carry them out for you. Wise can also drive the software you're working in — selecting and isolating clashes in Navisworks, or changing what's shown in the web 3D viewer.

One important boundary: ClashWise does not detect clashes, and neither does Wise. Clash detection happens in Navisworks Clash Detective. Wise works with the clash results you publish to ClashWise, helping you manage, prioritize, and coordinate them.

Where Wise lives

Wise chat is available in two places today:

In the Navisworks plugin — a dockable chat pane opened from the ClashWiseAI ribbon tab: Clash Management panel, Chat button (Alt+5). This is the most capable Wise surface: it shows interactive clash cards, edits clash workflow fields, creates clash matrices conversationally, and can control the Navisworks model. See the "Wise in Navisworks" article.
In the web 3D viewer — a Wise panel inside the 3D viewer for any clash set published with 3D capture. Ask about the clashes in the scene or tell Wise what to show. See the "Wise in the 3D Viewer" article.

There is no separate chat page in the web app — to chat with Wise in your browser, open a clash set in the 3D viewer and use the Wise panel there.

Who can use Wise

Wise chat requires:

A ClashWise account (signed in).
A Clash Management plan — Pro, Business, or an active trial. The Starter plan does not include Wise chat.

What "AI-powered" means across ClashWise

Beyond the chat surfaces, several ClashWise features are AI-powered. They carry the "ClashWise AI" branding and each has its own help section:

AI clash analysis — AI applies your clash matrix rules across a published clash set, filling in a recommended priority, status, and responsible contact for every clash. See the Managing Clashes on the Web section.
AI matrix building — matrices generated from a clash set use AI to name element classes and propose rule priorities and statuses, and rules can be re-evaluated by AI later. See the Clash Matrix section.
AI smart filter — describe the clashes you want in plain language and ClashWise builds the filter for you. See the Managing Clashes on the Web section.
Explain this clash — an AI-written explanation of an individual clash, available in the 3D viewer and clash details. See the 3D Viewer section.
AI insights summary — the executive summary, key insights, and risk assessment on a clash set's insights dashboard. See the Insights & Sharing section.
AI meeting minutes — coordination sessions generate AI minutes when they end, and can suggest action items during the session. See the Coordination Sessions section.
AI clash naming — descriptive clash titles generated inside Navisworks. This one is different: it runs on local AI models on your own machine, is included in the Starter plan, and does not use your Wise action allowance. See the Enhance Clash Titles (AI Naming) section.

Wise actions — how AI usage is measured

Each chat request that does AI work counts as one Wise action. Your plan includes an allowance — monthly, per seat, and pooled across your team on Pro and Business (Business includes more than Pro); trials get a daily allowance instead. Everyday activity like editing clash cards, refreshing, and browsing doesn't consume actions. Current allowance sizes are listed at https://clashwise.ai/pricing, and you can track your usage on your profile page under AI USAGE. For the full details, see the "Wise Actions and AI Limits" article.

Tips

Give Wise context. Focusing a plugin conversation on one clash set, or opening the specific group you care about in the 3D viewer, gets you sharper answers.
Wise is great for bulk housekeeping — "assign all the plumbing vs structure clashes to Sarah" is one message instead of dozens of clicks.
AI output is a recommendation, not a verdict. Review AI-generated priorities, explanations, and summaries before you act on them — ClashWise flags AI-generated content so you know what to double-check.
