Maket debuts Auto-Complete for generating residential floor plans

Maket debuts Auto-Complete for generating residential floor plans

Maket, an AI-assisted architectural design platform, has launched a feature called Auto-Complete that is intended to reduce the manual effort involved in drafting residential floor plans. Rather than requiring a designer to place every room and wall from scratch, the tool reads a rough sketch alongside whatever rooms have already been positioned, and fills in a complete layout from there.

The workflow is notable because it meets designers partway through their process. Early-stage residential planning often involves a lot of iterative sketching - blocking out rough zones before committing to exact dimensions. Auto-Complete fits into that stage directly, treating partial work as a valid starting point rather than requiring a clean or complete input to function.

Once a floor plan is generated, the process does not stop at the 2D layout. Maket carries the result into a 3D model and produces renderings, which means a designer can move from a loose sketch to a visualized space in a single session. This kind of end-to-end pipeline - from rough input to photorealistic or near-photorealistic output - has become a common target for AI design tools, as it compresses what was previously a multi-step, multi-tool process.

Maket has been building toward AI-assisted generation for architectural and interior use cases for some time, positioning itself alongside other platforms that apply generative models to spatial design. Auto-Complete represents a step toward more autonomous layout generation, where the AI is not just suggesting decorative choices but is making structural decisions about how a living space is organized. How well those generated layouts hold up against practical constraints - building codes, site shapes, client preferences - will likely determine how much of the early design process professionals are willing to hand off to the tool.

AI Ambition: ArtCraft Cloned Photoshop and Now Wants to "Rebuild Everything"

ArtCraft made waves by using AI to build an open-source reimagining of Photoshop, and CEO Brandon Thomas says that is only the beginning. The company's broader ambition is to challenge the closed, proprietary systems that dominate creative software and the web. It is a bold long-term goal, rooted in the idea that AI can lower the barrier to rebuilding complex software from scratch.

Phota Labs uses AI to turn everyday photos into professional-looking shots

Phota Labs is a new AI-powered service that automatically processes ordinary photos into polished, professional-looking images without requiring users to touch an editing tool. Rather than layering more manual controls onto an already crowded market, the company focuses on automating the entire editing pipeline. The goal is to make quality photo output accessible to people who have no background in photography or post-processing.
