A few years ago, I was helping people design and build custom homes.

I expected the hard part to be construction.

Instead, I became obsessed with something that happened much earlier.

People had questions about what was possible, but getting answers often required weeks or months of work.

Then AI started making it dramatically easier to explore possibilities in other creative domains - images, music, video, coding.

It made me wonder:

What happens when exploring architecture becomes easy too?

That's what eventually became Drafted.

We believe AI can make it dramatically easier for people to imagine, explore, and ultimately shape the physical world around them.

Most people spend their lives living in buildings they had little influence over.

We believe AI can help change that.

Over the last month, 120,000 people generated 325,000+ home designs with https://t.co/M3bUUqREhP

Today, we're excited to share that we've raised a $16M Seed led by Buckley Ventures to continue building multimodal generative models for residential architecture and spatial design.

Here's a glimpse of what we're building:

@ADoricko Super cool to see evidence of cloud seeding’s effects!

[Nick Donahue @PrimalNick]

@Bootsblac Super cool!

[Nick Donahue @PrimalNick]

@hyperagentapp @DraftedAI That’s cool

[Jake @JustJake]

With CVEs having gone parabolic, the only way to fight is automatically

We will now mitigate known vulnerable versions automatically for users

Much more to come here!

[Nick Donahue @PrimalNick]

@JustJake Love this!

[Nick Donahue @PrimalNick]

@AndyElder11 @arjunmathur_ @a16z @svangel @xyz_vc @ziggcap @dreamhq Super cool!

@jasonljin @takezest This is sick! Huge congrats on the launch

[Nick Donahue @PrimalNick]

Your sleep cycle in a pill is an incredible idea

[Jason Jin @jasonljin]

Today, @takezest is launching the world’s first 2-in-1 melatonin and caffeine capsule.

It is the first product of its kind that helps to reset your sleep schedule and support your circadian rhythm.

We are also announcing Zest RX: clinician-led care for sleep and wakefulness, built for the modern era of superintelligence.

Sleep medicine is stuck in the past: the most prescribed sleep drugs are decades old, often addictive, and sedate you instead of letting you truly rest.

We’re excited to finally bring sleep medicine into the 21st century.

The security incident is resolved for existing users. We value transparency, and thus will continue to provide updates until all surface areas of Railway are fully operational.

Why is Railway still not accepting new signups?
Railway’s services are fully restored for our 5 million existing users. To securely and reliably support market demand, we have paused new signups as we prioritize uptime during this recovery period. We will reopen signups this week to continue supporting the ambition of product builders worldwide.

How can I get a refund for fraudulent AI spend on other platforms?
Railway is unable to refund customers for spend performed with compromised API keys. However, we encourage you to reach out to AI token providers directly. Afterwards, please submit a support request at station.railway.​com with timestamps, prompts, and addition proof of fraudulent spend so we can escalate the request on your behalf. More information to follow.

What is Railway doing to improve security moving forward?
This week, we have already or are actively implementing a new generation of builder, encryption, and logging systems. Railway has been acknowledged as critical cyber infrastructure, allowing us to utilize to previously inaccessible tooling to provide best-in-class security for our users.

Our goal has never been to simply get back to where we were. As more of the world's software gets built and run by agents alongside humans, security stops being one team's concern and becomes everyone’s ground floor. With these improvements, Railway will continue to be the best place for humans and agents to bring software to life.

We'll keep sharing updates in the link below

6.1 Terra is here! It is good at a lot of things, but we are especially excited for this new era of computer use.

@americanhousing The Proto Town collab is 🔥🫡

[Nick Donahue @PrimalNick]

That’s crazy

[Matthew Prince 🌥 @eastdakota]

Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

[Nick Donahue @PrimalNick]

@useprobeai congrats on the launch!

[Nick Donahue @PrimalNick]

@ti_morse @Willob 💯💯

[Leo - 15 y/o founder @leodev]

I benchmarked 5 object storage providers from 6 locations around the world

I included:
- @awscloud S3
- @Cloudflare R2
- @Railway Buckets
- @Backblaze B2
- @neondatabase Storage

It used Files SDK to make it as fair as possible

Here's a summary 👇 (this is also a thread)
