Vivado AI Assistant — anyone actually got access? (2026.1 EA, VS Code + Copilot, MCP-based)

AI integration into an FPGA IDE is not new — Raptor IDE from RapidSilicon already shipped with RapidGPT. But then RapidSilicon died and RapidGPT transformed to [chipnexus.ai](http://chipnexus.ai)

Today I found out AMD has one too. An ad email came in about a free course on the Vivado AI Assistant, 11 September, in Italian. No thanks.

Searching the internet, the most that can be found is a one-page spec sheet:

[https://docs.amd.com/v/u/en-US/vivado-ai-asst](https://docs.amd.com/v/u/en-US/vivado-ai-asst)

And it is not product documentation — it is a course spec sheet

It seems it uses VSCode - means it is NOT integrated with Vivado?

It also uses GitHub Copilot as AI

I have Vivado 2026.1 installed and see nothing AI related in it.

Question: has anyone actually got the Vivado AI Assistant running? Is it EA or under NDA, or is there an extension somewhere I have not found?
