WE JUST GAVE ARCHITECTURE A REMIX BUTTON

See a home you like, use it as inspiration, and Remix it into one you love.

Why do I love working at @DraftedAI?

I started my career as an architect/3D artist.

Now? I'm not even sure what my job title should be.

When thinking about the future of home design, traditional paths stop making sense. Every day is about pushing the limits of what's possible.

@MartinaCheruse @DraftedAI It’s been great working with you!

@metaversy_world You’re saying rather than just on the 2D floor plan side?

I love building AI models because it takes a lot of grit to stick through it. The early versions suck. Users at first are like, "what is this?" Then it gets better and better.

Now I get on a user interview to watch the shock as they realize AI in architecture is here.

@PottsJustin Thanks a ton Justin :)

We had clients come with 40 page books, canva sketches, whiteboard drawings, a Google slide presentation, etc etc just to express what their home should look like.

Congrats, @PrimalNick and team! I can finally stop using Figma to design floor plans

[Nick Donahue @PrimalNick]

@Winterrose @garrytan We have something even better in the works.

AutoCAD and Revit are very different user bases and very different software. Most of Autodesks money comes from Commercial, not residential. Their incentives are different.

There will always be competition. Can't avoid it. With machine learning, all markets are up for grabs again and we are approaching this one from a different angle to bridge a gap in single-family design.

Everyone else can do the same, but it means they have to get back into startup mode. They have to think fundamentally different again. It's very unlikely, but can happen and we just have to move faster.
