Gendo
FreemiumCollaborative AI design canvas for architects that generates photorealistic renders from sketches, models, and text with chat-based editing.
Tool Information
What is Gendo?
Gendo is a private collaborative AI design canvas built for architects and design studios. It enables teams to generate photorealistic architectural visualizations from hand sketches, source files such as SketchUp exports, and text prompts, then iterate designs and present results through natural-language editing on a shared workspace that keeps geometry and design intent intact.
Core Features
Collaborative AI Canvas
A shared living workspace where teams upload sketches, generate photorealistic renders, edit materials, iterate designs, and align on one canvas.
Chat-Based Editing
Natural-language scene edits for lighting, seasons, materials, landscaping, and time of day while preserving geometry and design intent.
Source File Rendering
Render source files such as SketchUp exports into photorealistic architectural visualizations with control over materials, lighting, and atmosphere.
Sketch to Scene
Convert hand sketches into photorealistic interior or exterior scenes, with options for enhancement and population.
Text to Image
Generate ultra-realistic architectural exteriors, interiors, and landscapes directly from text prompts.
AI Upscaling
Upscale renders to 4× resolution for presentation-quality output.
Video and Cinematic Edit
Create walkthroughs, camera orbits, and AI-directed cinematic multi-shot sequences from existing renders.
Material Edit and Style Transfer
Swap materials and finishes, explore variations, and apply style transfers while preserving design fidelity.
Scene Editing and Entourage
Populate scenes with people and other entourage for scale and realism using architecture-focused tools.
Parallel Rendering
Run parallel rendering of design variations for faster exploration of options.
AI Data Governance and Privacy
Paid-plan IP protection so designs are not used to train AI, private-by-default projects, full data ownership, GDPR-compliant EU hosting, enterprise SSO, audit logs, and data isolation controls.
