How it works

Three steps you already know.

You know how to sketch an idea, share a link and walk into a room. That's all Arkio asks of you. The AI agent does the modeling.

  1. An empty site in grey
    Your site
  2. A pencil sketch of the house on the site
    Sketch it
  3. The model shared with collaborators
    Share it
  4. The finished design in colour with people
    Step inside
Step 1Sketch it

Start with whatever you have.

Drop in a sketch, a photo or a floor plan, or just describe what you want. The agent builds a real 3D model and shows its work as it goes.

Describe it or sketch itWords, pencil sketches, photos, plans, room programs and models all work, together or on their own.
Follow the agentWatch the model come together live, from any angle, and step in whenever you like.
Refine it by handSelect, push, pull and cut with simple tools, including full Boolean modeling.
Step 2Share it

One link. Everyone in the same model.

Send a link and your team, your client and your consultants join from their browser. Work on it together live, or leave comments for later.

Live together or in your own timeTalk in the scene and jump to each other, or pick up the thread from notes later.
You choose who can do whatGive people view, comment or edit access, and change it at any time.
The agent helps everyoneAnyone in the model can ask the agent to try something.
Step 3Step inside

Walk through it. Render it. Film it.

Explore your design at human scale in the browser. Switch on Live render to see the finished look while you work, and turn any view into a render or a film.

Live render and AI rendersPhotoreal, watercolor, pencil and more, always true to the model.
AI videoWalkthrough films with people in them, straight from your model.
iPad app and VR next3.0 already runs on iPad in the browser. A native iPad app comes next, and a re-imagined VR version soon.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need any 3D experience?

No. Describe your idea or sketch it and the agent builds the model. If you want to change something yourself, the tools are simple enough to learn as you go.

What do I need to run it?

A modern web browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. There's nothing to install.

Can I bring in my existing models?

Yes. Bring in models from Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, Archicad and Navisworks to design in context.

Can my client join without installing anything?

Yes. Send a link and they can view, comment or edit, depending on the access you give them.

How accurate are the AI renders?

They're made from your 3D model, so the building's size, layout and openings stay the same in every render and film.

What happens when I need drawings?

Hand off the model to Revit, Rhino or SketchUp for detailed design and documentation.

What will you design first?

Describe it in a sentence. The agent takes it from there.
