AI Architect Bot Provides Free Home Plans But Lacks Key Details
-
Construction tech company Icon launched an AI architect bot called Vitruvius that can provide free home plans based on user prompts.
-
Entrepreneur tested Vitruvius by requesting plans for a 4 bed, 3 bath NYC townhouse with a garden and cool rooftop.
-
The bot provided 3 design options meeting the specs but placed home on one townhouse floor instead of spreading across floors.
-
Vitruvius plans lack some professional details currently but could add electrical, structural, plumbing details in the future.
-
The goal is to make home design faster and cheaper but could undercut human architects who charge 5-15% of build cost.
