PDQ Offers New Package Builder Assistant for IT Teams to Create Custom Packages Faster With AI Assistance

PDQ is introducing a new AI-assisted package builder that helps IT teams create custom deployment packages faster—letting admins describe what they want to deploy in plain English and generating a package draft with scripts, steps, and parameters for review.

Readying a new software or tool update for org-wide distribution is cumbersome and repetitive. Sysadmins regularly need to track down dependencies, update hidden parameters, and make end-user updates appear seamless, according to the company.

Now available in early access, the package builder assistant is designed specifically for package creation in PDQ, helping admins turn deployment intent into structured package drafts without leaving their deployment workflow, the company said.

The AI-assisted package builder combines PDQ package-building expertise into a simple tool that reduces manual work while keeping admins in control. Admins can review the generated package draft, modify scripts, steps, and parameters, and apply changes before using the package in their environment.

“IT teams are expected to move quickly, but package creation still requires a lot of time, testing, and specialized knowledge,” said Mark Littlefield, VP of product at PDQ. “Package builder assistant is designed to help admins get to a working draft faster without giving up the review and control they need before anything reaches their environment.”

The new capability is designed to keep package creation inside PDQ instead of requiring admins to bounce between documentation, forums, external AI tools, and the deployment workflow.

By helping translate intent into structured package drafts, PDQ reduces packaging friction for teams working with niche, custom, or poorly documented software, the company said.

The package builder assistant is available in early access on Basic, Plus, and Premium plans.
