ChatGPT (GPT-4o) is the most versatile AI writing tool and the one most architects reach for first. Its image understanding capability is particularly valuable: upload a render or sketch and ask ChatGPT to write a description of the design concept, generate the design narrative for a competition, or compare two design options. For specification writing, ChatGPT can draft NBS-style specification clauses for common building elements, saving hours of initial drafting time (though always verify against current standards). The web search integration (with Plus subscription) allows it to research current product specifications, planning policy documents, and building regulation guidance. The GPT Store includes architecture-specific custom assistants for planning, specification, and building codes.
