Drafted on the record

What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Drafted is building multimodal generative models for residential architecture and spatial design. The product allows users to design homes by combining sketches and direct spatial input to generate coherent floor plans and elevations that can be explored in both 2D and 3D. Users can define footprints, lot boundaries, room placement, relationships, room programs, and square footage constraints that persist across generations and iterative design exploration, then export CAD, PDF, and other files into the rest of the home design and construction process.

  • Its own site describes it as: "Design your dream home with AI and download free PDF & CAD house plans in seconds." (source)

Who is behind it

  • Nicholas Donahue, Founder/CEO: Teaching computers about how to change and create in the physical world. (source)
