AI and automation
Automation you can use today, AI where it earns its place
Smart Layout already furnishes rooms in 10 styles in a fraction of a second. AI features that read plans, generate images and help you design are being built, and we label them clearly until they ship.
Does Arcvelle use AI?
Not yet in its released tools. Smart Layout, which furnishes a room or a whole plan in one of 10 styles, is a rules engine rather than a language model. AI features for plan recognition, image generation, render enhancement, 3D model generation and a design assistant are in development and are marked that way on every page.
Available today
Automation that ships
Smart Layout
Furnishes one room or the whole plan by room type and style, with scopes for full, essentials or decor only, and can keep what you placed.
Automatic kitchen layouts
The kitchen planner fills single-wall, galley, L and U layouts with modules, worktops and an island, around a pinned sink and hob.
Measured quantities
Flooring, paint, skirting, doors and furniture are counted from the design and priced into a quote.

How AI will work in Arcvelle
Drafts, never decisions
A recognised plan or a suggested layout opens as an editable draft for you to correct before anything is committed.
Labelled output
Generated images are marked as AI concepts and kept apart from renders of your real design.
Works without it
Every AI feature will have a manual or rules-based way to do the same job, and the tools work fully without an AI key.
Questions about AI
Is Smart Layout artificial intelligence?
No. Smart Layout is a rules engine: for each room type it knows which pieces belong, how far they sit from walls and doors, and how they group, and it applies the colours and finishes of the style you choose. It is fast, predictable and free, and it does not use a language model.
When will the AI features be available?
They are in development and no date has been set. Each one will be marked as available on its tool page when it ships. Until then, those pages describe the plan and link to what you can use today.
Will AI-generated images be presented as real?
No. Images made by an AI model will be labelled as AI-generated concept imagery, kept separate from renders of your actual design, and never added to a public gallery automatically.
What happens to my plans and photos when AI features launch?
Nothing changes for the tools you use today: they keep running in your browser without sending your design anywhere. AI features will send only what that feature needs, and only when you start it; the privacy notice will be updated before they launch.
