Does Arcvelle have an AI room design assistant?
Not yet. An AI design assistant for Arcvelle Studio is in development and cannot be used today. It is intended to suggest changes to a room you have drawn to scale. What works now is Smart Layout, a rules engine that furnishes a room or whole plan in one of 10 interior styles.
What it will do

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What will the AI design assistant do?
It is planned to respond to requests about a design and propose changes to the room in Arcvelle Studio. Its scope may change before release, and nothing on this page describes a working feature.
How does Smart Layout decide where furniture goes?
It uses placement rules written for 9 room types, together with the interior style you choose and the scope you set. It does not use machine learning or a language model, and you can edit everything it places.
Can Smart Layout keep the sofa I already placed?
Yes. Smart Layout has an option to keep furniture already in the room and work around it. Choose the decor-only scope if you only want accessories added.
Can I use Smart Layout on a whole apartment at once?
Yes. Smart Layout can furnish a single room or the whole plan in one pass, applying the rules for each room's type.
Is Smart Layout free?
Yes. Smart Layout is part of Arcvelle Studio, which is free today and runs in your browser without an account.
