1 AI, Architecture & Areas
* How do you ensure AI recommendations align with design intent?
AI learns from your design preferences and project parameters. You maintain complete oversight and can adjust, override, or refine any AI suggestions to match your vision and client requirements.
* Will AI make architectural jobs obsolete?
AI transforms how architects work, not whether they’re needed. Throughout history, new tools have enhanced architectural practice — from CAD software to BIM. AI is the next evolution, creating new opportunities and specialisations within the field.
* How does AI enhance rather than replace architects?
Our AI tools are designed to streamline repetitive tasks and provide intelligent insights, freeing architects to focus on creativity, design thinking, and client relationships. AI handles data processing and optimisation whilst architects retain full creative control.
2 Research & Development
* What makes your research approach different?
Our research is practice-led and industry-focused. We work directly with architects, educators, and students to identify real challenges and develop practical solutions. Every product stems from genuine industry needs.
* How can I contribute to your research initiatives?
We welcome contributions through our library — submit papers, case studies, or insights. We also partner with universities and collaborate with practitioners on specific research projects. Visit our Contribute section on our Library page to get started.
3 Products & Implementation
* Do your products integrate with existing software?
We prioritise compatibility with industry-standard tools like AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and other platforms architects already use. Our products enhance your existing workflow rather than replacing it.
* How long does it take to learn your software?
Our user-friendly design prioritises intuitive interfaces. Most users become productive within days, with full proficiency typically achieved in 1-2 weeks. We provide comprehensive training resources and ongoing support.
* Are your products suitable for small practices?
Our tools are designed to be scalable and accessible. Whether you're a solo practitioner or part of a large firm, our products adapt to your workflow and budget requirements.
4 Contribute & Collaborate
* Can I request custom features for my specific practice?
We value user feedback and regularly incorporate suggestions into our development roadmap. Whilst we can’t guarantee individual customisations, many user requests become features that benefit the entire community.
* How can educational institutions partner with AICI?
We offer academic partnerships including research collaborations, student access to our platforms, curriculum development support, and joint publication opportunities. Contact us to discuss your institution’s needs.
5 Support & Guidance
