Gendo is a browser-based generative AI platform developed for architects and designers. It enables the creation of presentation-ready visuals from 2D inputs, such as sketches, screenshots, or photographs, without the need for specialist rendering tools or external production teams. By integrating artificial intelligence into the architectural workflow, Gendo streamlines visualization processes, reduces turnaround times, and allows designers to retain creative control without relying on third-party rendering services.
Rather than replacing the creative workflow, Gendo is designed to enhance and align with it, offering flexibility, speed, and autonomy in visual production.
Key Features
- Render
Users can upload PNG or JPG files to generate refined architectural visuals. The platform applies materiality, lighting, and architectural detailing while maintaining fidelity to the original design.
Adjustable Composition and Color sliders allow for precise control over image adherence. Reference images can be uploaded to match specific tones or styles, supporting visual consistency across projects and presentations.
- Material
Gendo enables selective material changes within an image, allowing users to apply new finishes or textures to specific areas without re-rendering the entire scene. This functionality is useful for testing material options, such as comparing brick to concrete or wood to glass, during client reviews or internal design iterations.
- Style
Designs can be reinterpreted through a variety of visual styles, including presets like Cinematic, Hand Sketch, Watercolor, and Impressionism, or through custom style prompts. This feature allows users to adapt visuals for different presentation contexts while preserving the original architectural intent.
- Browser-Based Platform
As a web-based tool, Gendo requires no installation or software maintenance. It operates through a flexible, credit-based subscription model and avoids compatibility issues associated with traditional rendering software.
