Carve

A third feature group focuses on workflow organization and collaboration. The Render Tree is an innovative branching system: every render creates a node, and users can explore variations by branching off in different directions. This means no design iteration is ever lost; users can follow promising directions, discard dead ends, and always return to previous versions. The Collaborative AI Canvas goes further by providing a real-time collaborative workspace where architects, designers, and clients can discuss, iterate, and approve renders together. It includes version-controlled history, watermarked client links, and role-based permissions (viewer, commenter, editor), making it suitable for teams of all sizes. This eliminates the chaos of emailing image files back and forth.

The overall workflow of Carve is straightforward and fast. Users start by uploading their source material—whether it's a CAD export from Revit, a SketchUp model screenshot, a hand-drawn sketch, or a photo of an existing space. Carve automatically extracts depth and edge maps from the input to preserve the geometry. The user then selects a tool (Interior AI, Exterior AI, etc.), chooses a style, and hits generate. Within seconds, the system produces a high-resolution render that matches the user's design. From there, the user can refine using text-prompt edits or area edits, create variations using the Render Tree, or even animate the result. The entire process is browser-based—no software installation required.

Concrete use cases abound across architecture and real estate. An architect can take a rough SketchUp massing model and in under a minute generate multiple photorealistic facade options to present to a client during a design review. An interior designer can start with an empty room photo, use Virtual Staging AI to furnish it in three different styles, and let the client choose the preferred direction—all within a single meeting. A real estate agent can upload photos of an off-plan development's empty unit and create furnished listing imagery that sells the lifestyle before construction is even complete. For kitchen builders, a simple layout sketch becomes a photorealistic render that shows exactly what the client will get, reducing change orders and increasing confidence.

Carve targets a wide but specialized audience: architects (from solo practitioners to large firms), interior designers, real estate agents, property developers, kitchen builders, and architecture students. It integrates seamlessly with popular design tools like SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, AutoCAD, and Blender—users simply export an image from their CAD software and upload it. Pricing is credit-based and starts with 10 free credits for new users. Paid plans include Starter ($29/month, 150 credits), Pro ($49/month, 600 credits with priority queue and 8K upscaling), and Agency ($99/month, 1500 credits with unlimited team seats and workspaces). Enterprise plans offer tailored workflows, API access, and dedicated support. Carve is also EU AI Act compliant, with full IP ownership, no training on user data, GDPR-compliant EU hosting, and workspace isolation. In summary, Carve empowers architecture and real estate professionals to deliver stunning, accurate renders in seconds, dramatically reducing visualization costs and accelerating project timelines.
