Speckle is infrastructure, not a design tool — it's the connective tissue that allows AI to operate across your entire design stack. It extracts geometry and data from any AEC tool (Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, ArchiCAD, Grasshopper) into a version-controlled data stream. Once your model data flows through Speckle, you can run Automate functions — AI scripts that analyze, check, and transform the data. Practical uses: run accessibility compliance checks across every room in the BIM model, identify clashes between structural and MEP systems, generate specification documents from model data automatically, or integrate model data into custom dashboards. Speckle enables architecture firms to build their own AI-powered BIM tools using Python.
AI-powered generative design and automation inside Revit
Generative design explores thousands of design options simultaneously. Forma handles massing and environmental analysis. Automates clash detection, sheet creation, and documentation tasks.
Cloud-based generative design platform for building systems
Automate repetitive layout tasks — parking, structural grids, MEP routing — using parametric functions. Open-source and developer-friendly for custom automation.
AI-powered CAD with automated drawing completion and BIM
AI autocompletes 2D drawings, recognizes architectural shapes, and generates BIM models from 2D plans. Cost-effective AutoCAD alternative with smart AI features.
