AI for
Homebuyers
A practical guide for resources on AI and generative AI tools for planning and visualizing your future home.
How are homebuyers using AI?
Homebuyers can use AI to organize ideas that are hard to explain: room lists, lifestyle priorities, style preferences, inspiration images, budget concerns, and questions for an architect or builder.
Generative design tools can help you realize your ideas without the learning curve of technical design tools. You can see more options earlier, compare layouts, react to tradeoffs, and bring a clearer starting point to the people who will design, price, and document the home.

What is Drafted AI?
Drafted is an AI floor plan generation tool for the schematic design phase. It helps you quickly explore layouts, iterate with clients, and outputs files that save hours of initial drafting and line work.
Compare layout directions
Generate multiple floor plan concepts so clients can react to circulation, adjacencies, privacy, and overall fit.
Export CAD / BIM files
Use the strongest concepts as structured starting points before moving into professional CAD, BIM, documentation, and review.
