Create a workspace, understand seats and credits, pick one tool your team already needs, and generate the first version.

What this is

Conduit is where your firm turns a workflow you already do by hand into a tool other people can run. A Revit add-in, an AutoCAD add-in, or an ACC app.

You describe the tool in the Conduit app. Conduit generates a version. You test it, then deploy that version to specific people.

Why start here

You have one painful, repeatable job: export a schedule, audit a parameter, check sheets. You want a first tool in front of a few people this week, not a firm-wide rebuild.

What you need

A work email
Revit 2020–2027 or AutoCAD if you are building a desktop add-in; a browser if you are building an ACC app
One concrete workflow

You do not need the Revit or AutoCAD API or Visual Studio to start. Desktop add-ins can still need IT to allow the runner. Start the first generate. Bring IT in when you deploy beyond yourself.

Create your workspace

Go to app.getconduit.us/auth/signup.
Create a workspace for your firm. This is the firm account, not just a personal login.
You land on the trial: 100 generation credits (one-time), one Creator seat, basic templates. No credit card.

Seats and credits, in plain language

Two kinds of people exist in a workspace.

Creators build and ship tools. They describe the work, generate versions, and choose who gets them. After the trial, a Creator seat is $89 / month and includes 200 generation credits each month.

Viewers run the tools Creators send them. They do not generate. After the trial, a Viewer seat is $29 / month.

The trial includes one Creator. Add Viewers when someone else should run the tool. You do not need a Viewer to generate the first version.

Credits pay for generation. They are not seats, and they are not deploys.

First version of a new tool: 40 credits
Each later version: 20 credits
Trial: 100 credits, once — enough for a first version plus a few iterations
Deploying a version to people does not spend credits

Full numbers live in Seats, credits, and billing.

Pick the first tool

Stay narrow:

Export model or drawing data to CSV or Excel
Audit or batch-update parameters
Check standards and list misses
Sheet naming, numbering, or issue readiness

If a template matches, start from that and change it.

What happens next

Open the Conduit app and create that tool. From description to ribbon walks through describe → generate → Versions → deploy.

If something is stuck: in the app, click the arrow next to your name (bottom left) and choose Help & feedback. Or email contact@getconduit.us.
