What if the software shaping our buildings was still stuck in the 90s?
🏗️
Amar Hanspal @amarhanspal , former Autodesk executive and now co-founder of @BuildWithMotif , believes it’s time for a total reboot.

In our latest episode, Amar shares how he helped lead Autodesk through its massive cloud transformation—and why he’s now tackling one of the hardest challenges in tech: rebuilding the AEC (Architecture, Engineering & Construction) software stack for the AI age.

30:40 — Measuring speed-ups and early user feedback
31:37 — Defining success: love from users before scale
32:50 — Lessons for AEC founders: problem-first, tech-second
33:19 — Mythbusting BIM: it doesn’t have to be painful

AI won't replace architects. But it will replace the old way of practicing architecture.

The difference? Tools that co-design with you vs. tools you fight against.

Small but mighty update: Increased resolution 💪

We've reworked how images and sheets load in Motif. Higher resolution detail appears exactly when you need it, then steps back when you don't.

Crisper visuals, zero performance hit ✨
