Snaptrude is an AI-powered BIM software that helps architects generate, refine, and present building designs from brief to BIM in one connected model.

Snaptrude is an AI-native workspace designed for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. It integrates site analysis, programming, massing, BIM, and presentation into a single platform, aiming to replace disconnected tools. The platform allows users to describe projects, upload RFPs, and attach sites to generate detailed insights and initial designs using AI. Users can refine AI-generated outputs with precision using the Snaptrude Editor, which offers purpose-built tools for programs, floorplans, and full BIM models. Key features include AI program creation from prompts, live-linked tables for instant 3D model updates, deep research capabilities for building regulations, and one-click mass-to-BIM conversion. It also supports seamless export to Rhino and Revit, maintaining materials and parameters.
