Gendo

Gendo is a pioneering AI platform specifically built to revolutionize the workflow of architects and designers. It addresses the traditionally slow, expensive, and technically demanding process of creating computer-generated imagery (CGI). As a browser-based tool, Gendo empowers over 30,000 professionals to produce stunning, high-fidelity visualizations in minutes, not days, directly from their web browser without needing specialized hardware.

The platform is designed by and for designers, with a core mission to reduce laborious tasks and give professionals more time to focus on what truly matters: design. Gendo tightly adheres to the user's design intent, acting as a powerful assistant that adds materiality, lighting, and intricate details to basic forms or well-resolved designs, rather than designing by AI.

How to use Gendo

Gendo offers an intuitive and straightforward user experience. The process is designed to be seamless and requires no advanced technical skills:

1. Upload Your Design: Start by uploading your work. This can be anything from a simple sketch or basic 3D model to a fully detailed design.
2. Generate Images: Use the 'Design to Image' feature to transform your input into a beautiful and accurate visual representation. The AI interprets your design's form and structure with high fidelity.
3. Iterate and Refine: Use the 'Material Change' tool for generative editing. Select any part of the generated image—a wall, a floor, or even a tree—and instantly regenerate it with different materials, colors, or elements. This allows for rapid exploration of design options.
4. Apply Different Styles: With 'Style Transfer', you can convert your render into various artistic styles like a watercolor painting, a pencil sketch, or a technical diagram, all while keeping the underlying design consistent.
5. Explore Concepts: For early-stage ideation, the 'Text to Image' feature allows you to generate brand-new concept images from simple text prompts, helping you explore look and feel, composition, and inspiration.

Core Features of Gendo

• Design to Image: Upload your designs (sketches, models) and Gendo generates beautiful, accurate images, adding realistic materials, lighting, and details while strictly following your design intent.
• Material Change (Generative Editing): A powerful editing tool that allows you to select and regenerate any part of an image. Instantly swap materials, change colors, or adjust landscaping elements with infinite editing choices.
• Style Transfer: Maintain design fidelity while switching between different visual styles. Transform a photorealistic render into a sketch, or a photograph into a watercolor diagram, perfect for different presentation needs.
• Text to Image: A generator for creating concept images from written descriptions ('prompts'). Ideal for brainstorming, mood boarding, and finding initial design inspiration.
• Unlimited Project Canvases: All plans, including the free tier, offer unlimited project canvases to organize your work.
