“Medium to large organizations, particularly those operating in hybrid and multicloud environments or regulated industries like financial services and healthcare, should strongly consider looking at Rubrik to stay secure and resilient in today’s dynamic landscape,” said Johnny Yu, Research Manager, Infrastructure Software Platforms at IDC.

The company continues to innovate. In August 2025 Rubrik announced the launch of Agent Rewind, following the close of its acquisition of Predibase. Agent Rewind, powered by Predibase AI infrastructure, will enable organizations to undo mistakes made by agentic AI by providing visibility into agents' actions and enabling enterprises to rewind those changes to applications and data.



In an IDC Link commentary, Rubrik Introduces "Undo" Button for AI Agents' Mistakes (doc #lcUS53741325, August 2025), analyst Johnny Yu stated, “any organization that aspires to someday implement AI to the point where an AI agent making a bad decision will have a significant impact on the business will want to consider Agent Rewind. As agentic AI technology matures and becomes more widely adopted, the idea of catching and correcting mistakes made by nonhuman entities will become much more top of mind.”

In rethinking how substations can be designed collaboratively, it helps solve one of the biggest sources of frustration for designers, by allowing multiple users to work at the same time in the same model, reducing errors and rework during construction. OpenUtilities Substation+ will be available in November through an early access program.

 

• Construction management: SYNCHRO+, part of Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, is a next-generation, AI-powered construction application that redefines traditional 4D modeling. By shifting to a data-centric workflow, SYNCHRO+ streamlines construction planning and coordination. It integrates Cesium for rich geospatial context, and leverages AI to explore construction sequences with greater depth, speed, and actionable insights. SYNCHRO+ will be available for early access in December 2025.

 

AI enhancements are coming to Bentley’s existing engineering applications as well, starting with OpenRoads Designer and OpenRail Designer for model-based road and rail design. A new AI agent that automates one of the most time-consuming aspects of design—annotating drawings—will be generally available in November 2025. Bentley Copilot will be integrated into both products in early 2026.

 

Bentley also announced new AI-powered search capabilities in ProjectWise, part of Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, designed to significantly reduce the time users spend searching for information. With a streamlined, intuitive interface, and contextualized AI search capabilities, users receive instant, concise summaries generated by AI, without needing to open files or switch between applications. These enhancements deliver a productivity boost across the entire project workflow. ProjectWise AI capabilities will be available for early access in December 2025, with general availability planned in 2026.

 

Commitment to data stewardship

 

While ProjectWise’s new AI-powered search capabilities promise significant productivity gains, Bentley recognizes that innovation must be grounded on a foundation of trust. As users rely on Bentley Infrastructure Cloud to manage their engineering files and data, Bentley remains firmly committed to data stewardship.

 

Cumins reaffirmed that longstanding commitment, first outlined at the 2023 Year in Infrastructure conference, emphasizing that respect for intellectual property is foundational to Bentley’s approach to Infrastructure AI. “Our users are in control of their data. They decide if it is used for AI training, and to what extent,” Cumins said. “Our users’ data is their data, always.”

 

To uphold this principle, Bentley has implemented strict governance around AI model training. Only data that has been explicitly licensed or purchased for this purpose is used—this includes contributions from accounts that have agreed to supply data for the benefit of the broader Bentley user community. Users also have the option to fine-tune Bentley AI models with their own data, for exclusive use within their organizations.

 

To further support transparency, Bentley has introduced the Data Agreement Registry, an auditing system that provides visibility into how data was used to train Bentley AI models.

 

Shaping the future of infrastructure with trustworthy AI

With engineering firms increasingly looking to adopt reliable infrastructure AI applications—and to train and deploy their own AI models alongside Bentley software—Bentley provides the necessary context for trustworthy AI.

 

“Infrastructure engineers work in a creative profession, but one where precision is non-negotiable and consequences are real,” Cumins explained. “That’s why AI in infrastructure must be grounded in real-world context.”

 

Infrastructure organizations are leveraging Bentley software to ensure their AI models are informed by the right context—drawing on their past project design data in Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, subsurface insights from Seequent, and the engineering logic and physical principles embedded in Bentley Open Applications.

 

Cumins noted the growing number and diversity of Going Digital Awards submissions that leveraged Bentley’s applications to inform their own AI agents.

 

“What’s striking is how diverse these AI use cases are. AI is emerging across design, construction, and operations, touching every phase of the infrastructure lifecycle,” he said. “And the results go well beyond time savings; they’re using AI not just to automate, but to optimize decisions and outcomes in ways that were not possible before.”

 

He cited a geothermal energy project in Turkey that used AI and the GPU-accelerated simulation capabilities of a Seequent application to compress a five-year development timeline into one year, cutting costs by more than 75%. Engineers evaluated over 10 million scenarios in days instead of years, and ran 3,000 simulations in hours instead of days, setting a new benchmark for speed and accuracy. 

 

Infrastructure AI Co-Innovation Initiative

 

“For more than 40 years, we’ve helped infrastructure professionals and organizations become more productive through our software,” Cumins said. “We welcome the creative ways our users are already combining our applications with AI—and we believe this is just the beginning.”

 

To navigate this change together with users, Bentley announced the Infrastructure AI Co-Innovation Initiative to collaborate with engineering firms and asset owners on the next generation of AI-enhanced workflows. The co-innovation initiative, open to Bentley users, will examine how Bentley APIs can evolve to better support AI use cases and explore new commercial models that reflect the evolving balance between AI-driven and human-driven work. 

 

“This is a pivotal moment,” Cumins said. “The opportunity to shape the future of infrastructure is in front of us—and we’re incredibly excited to collaborate with our users in this new way.”
