Houdini AI Assistant — Analyze, Debug, Build HDAs Oct. 23, 2025, 2:23 p.m.



Stop Fighting with Networks. Start Creating.
Analyze. Debug. Generate. Automate.




Houdini is powerful, but endless debugging and reverse-engineering complex networks can kill creativity and waste hours.
Houdini AI Assistant is a native tool that solves this problem.





It’s not just another chatbot.
It’s your personal Assistant that reads your scene, nodes, and parameters to give you answers that are actually relevant to your project.




My goal with this tool isn't to replace that creative part that's the fun! It's to automate the boring part, like debugging a simple VEX typo at 2 AM.

The idea is to free up more time for the interesting setup work that you're talking about.

And absolutely, it's perfect for learners too! They can select a network or node they don't understand, hit 'Analyze Selection', and then simply ask: "What does this network do?" or "Explain this node in the context of the selection." The assistant, using the 'Scene Analyst' role (and maybe even the 'Explanatory' style), will provide a detailed, step-by-step explanation.
