ArchiLabs Launches: AI Copilot for Architects

ArchiLabs recently launched!

^{"Architectural Workflows at the Speed of Thought"}

‍

⏩ TL;DR

ArchiLabs is building an AI copilot for architects. Architectural drafting tools like Revit are clunky and difficult to quickly iterate in. With ArchiLabs’ AI automation tool, architects can put requests into a chat bar and the AI is able to automatically run transaction-safe Python scripts to automate tedious tasks in CAD tools, making the collaboration process faster and more efficient.

Founded by Brian Bakerman & William Meng

William graduated with a degree in computer science from Carnegie Mellon, then went on to work at Facebook. He realized his passion was the built world and set out to build homes from scratch in Texas where he experienced this frustration first hand. He then set out to build his own CAD tool.

Brian graduated with a degree in ECE from Carnegie Mellon and went on to run a YC-backed tech-enabled homebuilding factory. He had a lot of frustrations with the architectural back-and-forth, primarily stemming from the limitations of existing tools. He then went on to build and sell an AI transcription startup.

Brian and William met back up, sharing the same vision for reimaging the construction design experience and eventually taking on Autodesk, the $60B industry-leader.

😩 The Problem

Architects are talented, but the tools they use (like Revit) to draft homes and buildings are from the early 90s. The tools are clunky and slow to iterate in. This means that the iteration process is slowed down and leaves less time for filling in important construction details at the end.

‍

👌 The Solution

Many architectural drafting tools have powerful automation languages to get around the clunkiness of these drafting tools, but they are too time consuming to learn and use. ArchiLabs taps into this by creating a chat interface for architects to type in what they want to do in their CAD tool and have an AI write and execute a transaction-safe script in their CAD tool to automate any task they want.

^{🤝 The founders are asking for more beta testers! They are always looking to fine-tune their workflow engine to fit common architectural workflows, so if you know any architects or BIM modelers or are one yourself, they would love to chat! Email the founders here.}
