Frequently Asked Questions
🚀 Getting Started
What is Archibi AI?
Archibi AI is an AI-powered spatial design platform developed by Uritect Inc.[cite: 1, 6] that helps you visualize home redesigns before making real-world changes. Upload a photo or sketch to explore new possibilities for interiors, building exteriors, gardens, renovations, and furniture styling[cite: 1, 4]. You bring the idea; Archibi helps you design it like an architect[cite: 1, 4].
Do I need architectural or interior design experience?
Not at all! Archibi is built for everyone—from homeowners planning their first room renovation to professional architects and real estate agents iterating client concepts[cite: 1, 4]. Simply upload a smartphone photo or hand sketch to begin visualizing instant options[cite: 1, 4].
Where is Archibi AI based?
Archibi AI is a proprietary technology platform developed and operated by Uritect Inc., an Ontario, Canada-based spatial technology company headquartered at ONRamp, University of Toronto[cite: 1, 4, 6].
🎨 Design Engines & Capabilities
How does Photo-to-Render work?
Take or upload a photo of any existing space, select your preferred architectural or interior design style, and Archibi’s spatial AI generates a photorealistic 3D render preserving your room’s perspective[cite: 1, 4]. It works seamlessly across interior rooms, exterior building facades, and landscape gardens[cite: 1, 4].
What is Sketch-to-Render?
Sketch-to-Render turns drawings, floor plan lines, or hand-drawn spatial concepts into photorealistic 3D renders[cite: 1, 4]. It is ideal for exploring brand-new ideas that don’t exist yet—whether you are drafting a new room addition, facade makeover, or custom home concept[cite: 1, 4].
What is the difference between Beautiful and Creative Redesign?
- Beautiful Redesign: Refines and enhances your space while keeping existing wall structures, layouts, and architectural boundaries intact[cite: 1, 4].
- Creative Redesign: Gives the AI creative freedom to perform bold, imaginative architectural style transformations[cite: 1, 4].
Can Archibi redesign outdoor spaces and facades?
Yes! Archibi isn’t limited to indoor decoration[cite: 1, 4]. You can explore interior rooms, building facades, entryways, backyards, gardens, patios, outdoor kitchens, and full property landscaping concepts[cite: 1, 4].
Why can similar prompts or photos produce different results?
Generative spatial AI is creative and non-deterministic[cite: 1, 4]. Rather than using fixed templates, Archibi generates unique variations each time, giving you diverse aesthetic directions to choose from[cite: 1, 4]. Be sure to save the renders you love!
