Design better buildings together

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

Snaptrude Agent is live.

It does real design work with your team, from a site to a construction-ready LOD 400 model with structure, MEP and drawings. Cut the budget or change the brief, and the agent updates the layout, coordinates the structure and MEP, and redoes the drawings. And you can take the work back to your existing software with your families intact.

Firms like Jacobs, Studio+, Kajima, VMDO and Dekker design on Snaptrude, and since September more than 2,000 designers have run over 25,000 tasks through the agent.

Today we're launching @snaptrude Agent, the most advanced agent for building design.

It does real design work with you, from a site to a construction-ready LOD 400 model with structure, MEP and drawings. Then can go back to your existing software with your families intact.

About a year ago we bet the company on AI. Honestly the insight came from software engineering. It wasn't long ago that autocomplete felt like a big deal, and now engineers direct agents that write a lot of the code. I think the same shift is coming to how we design buildings, and it's already started.

Most designers I meet aren't short on skill, they're short on time. Take the call every design team dreads, the client cuts the budget by 30%. Today that's a bad month for everyone. With the agent you're the director. You decide where the cost comes out, and it updates the layout, coordinates the structure and MEP, and redoes the drawings. So when design exploration gets this cheap, we go from 3 options to 300, and more options means better buildings.

Since August our users have gone through more than 140 billion tokens, and firms like Jacobs, Studio+, Kajima, VMDO, Dekker and hundreds of others use Snaptrude today. In our early access, more than 2,000 designers have run over 25,000 tasks through the agent since September.

We also built a benchmark for this, AECBench, because in AEC an almost correct answer is still wrong. It gives AI the same brief an architect would get, has its design in a real BIM model, and scores the result against the brief and against how architects review design. We're publishing the first results today, link below.

Thank you @prashanthp at @Accel and Shub and the team at @foundamental for backing us when this was still a bet, and the Snaptrude team, who built every bit of this. Really proud of you all.

Thanks to our investors, @scottbelsky, @andreasklinger, @thilokonzok, @immad, @CindyXBi, @DanilaVladi, @jmwass, rahulchaudhary, @adamecourt, Zach Ginsburg, Alex duff, Paul grossinger, really appreciate all the help along the way.

The brief changes, and you redo the model, the systems and the drawings by hand.

You can now take one prompt from site analysis to LoD 400 BIM, MEP and construction-ready drawings with Snaptrude Agent. Every step stays editable.

Altaf Ganihar on why: https://t.co/kOiU31FBBK

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

“Create massing options for this project to explore different architectural ideas.”

Same site, same program, same GFA. A different idea every time.

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

Same site. Same program. Same GFA.

Snaptrude Agent explored massing options for a 453,000 sq ft office campus, each one a different idea, each within 2% of the brief.

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

A hospital and a housing block need different thinking from day one.

Snaptrude Agent reads your project's typology, brief and existing design, then works within it. Any building type, any stage.

One prompt. Snaptrude Agent lays out HVAC, plumbing, sprinklers and lighting across a full floor of your BIM model.

Every duct, pipe and fixture stays parametric, so you can edit anything it places.

Yesterday we released Snaptrude Agent. It takes a building from an empty site to a construction set: massing, LOD 400 BIM, MEP, structure and drawings, ready for Revit.

It shows you its plan first, and you steer.

[Prashanth Prakash @prashanthp]

Construction has barely changed in decades and products like @Snaptrude are leading its transformation.

When we began working with @altafganihar, we saw a sector overdue for modernizing its workflows. With the launch of Snaptrude Agent, they've built the most advanced agent for building design with published benchmarks on real design tasks.

Congratulations to @altafganihar and the entire @snaptrude team on this milestone.

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

@AliceInfoAi Thank you! The brief changing is where it earns its keep. Change it and the layout, structure, MEP and drawings all follow

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

@dnncha Absolutely. Bring your house and site into Snaptrude and ask the agent for the driveway. Show us what it comes up with

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

@houmanhemmati @altafganihar you can use snaptrude to get your design and vision into 3d, explore multuple options before you get an architect on board. But an architect in loop is needed to verify and execute the outputs.

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

@bhullarn @altafganihar @_akhaliq if you give it the guidelines, the agent respects it and designs within those guidelines. And yes it can create and manage large projects quite smoothly.

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

@NigelKeam @altafganihar Snaptrude is designed for professionals but it's so simple to use that you can absolutely try it out. we have people re-doing and designing their homes and offices.

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

@scottbelsky absolutely! we see our users most happy about this same reason.

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

@zaynmcps @celineodier well it is the spooky season!

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

@KrrishKapoor8 @svpino absolutely.

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

@itsarbit @svpino yes ofcourse. we are creating the perfect Human-AI collaboration. Agent does all the manual work but the direction and judgement always comes from human expertise.

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

@w0rdsmythe @yulikay yes its not the best experience on the ipad right now. Try it on your computer or laptop and share what you make!

[Snaptrude @snaptrude]

@dcsan @rohanpaul_ai Architects have to review and stay in the loop. They can review the agents work, correct it, redline it and ask it to fix all the issues and errors. This is a perfect Human-AI collaboration for better built environment.
