Ideas to plan in minutes

[Patrick Murphy @patrickmaket]

For the longest time, architectural design was locked behind outdated software.

Generative AI has changed that.

Back in 2020, when we started working on @Maketplans we had a vision for what architecture and design could be.

It should be as simple as having a conversation.

Over 1.2 million signups, 8 million plans later, we have built unique context and a deep understanding of what people want to do with their space.

Building the product? That's the easy part.

Actually building a platform that works for home design with the right context, data & tooling?

That's the hard part.

Super excited to be speaking at @sxswlon about the incredible work our team has done.

Crazy to see over 300K people use Maket over the last few months 🤯

[Patrick Murphy @patrickmaket]

@nectarios ;)

[Patrick Murphy @patrickmaket]

What have we been up to over the last month?

195K new lines of code and shipping:

- Floor Plan Recognition (V1)
- Multi-selection of assets
- Slanted walls
- Detailed Measurements
- Resizable assets
- Optimizer × Draw from Scratch
- More room types and assets
- Better generated asset layouts
- Sharing via a mini-website
- Chat UI improvements

Working on some massive features!

Onwards! 🚀

[Patrick Murphy @patrickmaket]

Seeing the sheer number of businesses signing up to Maket is WILD.

So pumped to be able to provide a new way of generating, editing & exploring layouts.

[Patrick Murphy @patrickmaket]

A super cool realization I've had recently...

Building Maket has pushed us to learn all the small, often invisible ways our users interact with the product.

Day in, day out for years on end.

Those learnings shape every improvement we make.

You can't speedrun that.

No booze, no gummies, Jaccob Slavin is just high on the Holy Spirit.

[Sports Spectrum @Sports_Spectrum]

“I lay it at the feet of Jesus and give Him all the glory.”

This is AWESOME! Jaccob Slavin @Jslavin74 is a Stanley Cup champion. But he knows where the true victory is found and points to Jesus after their clinching Game 6 win.

Being able to 'talk’ to your floor plans is pretty magical.

Architecture has really entered the conversational phase.

[Harj Taggar @harjtaggar]

Young founders often treat fundraising like a test they need to pass. It’s not. It’s just a tool.

Sometimes the fear of failing is what you actually need to sharpen your insight into what customers want. That's the only test that matters.

[Patrick Murphy @patrickmaket]

👀 couldn't have said it better!

We learn an incredible amount from everyone using @Maketplans

[Vivek Sen @Vivek4real_]

LARRY ELLISON: AI IS RAPIDLY COMMODITIZING BECAUSE MOST MODELS ARE TRAINED ON THE SAME PUBLIC INTERNET DATA.

THE REAL COMPETITIVE EDGE ISN’T THE MODEL ANYMORE — IT’S ACCESS TO EXCLUSIVE, PROPRIETARY DATASETS.

THAT MAY BE THE ONLY MOAT LEFT.

[Patrick Murphy @patrickmaket]

Working on hard problems is super fun 💪 💥

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

the model alone is no longer the product

[Patrick Murphy @patrickmaket]

/goal is pretty fun

[Patrick Murphy @patrickmaket]

So pumped to work with these two every day building @Maketplans.

Building a team means bringing together different backgrounds, opinions, and skill sets, all aligned towards building a generational company.

I often think about the @CanadiensMTL as an example.

Jeff Gorton came up as a scout, then interim GM with the Bruins, became GM of the Rangers and is now President of Hockey Ops.

He manages ownership and partner relationships, leveraging connections built over decades.

Kent Hughes, the former player agent, is deeply analytical but brings genuine empathy for his players and personnel, and the resources to help them succeed.

Nick Bobrov and Martin Lapointe find the up-and-comers like Lane Hutson, Ivan Demidov, and Juraj Slafkovský, the diamonds in the rough that are far from a finished product.

And Martin St-Louis, the player turned coach, rallies everyone together and keeps them believing in themselves.

Different roles. Different skill sets.

All aligned on bringing back the Cup.

That's exactly how we're building Maket.

We set the mission and vision, bring the resources, keep people motivated, and grow our team to accomplish even more.

[Maket @Maketplans]

Multi-story plan generation with control over every level.

Pick your floors, pick your shapes, adjust every dimension.

Then refine it on the canvas or through the chat until itʼs exactly what you want.

[Patrick Murphy @patrickmaket]

We just added thinking steps in @Maketplans 🧠

This addition makes the plan generation & editing process feel more dynamic!
