The first core
IXA IA
AI & Architecture
C O N T E X T
The first core of our ATHENA AI is "context," where it acts as a digital architectural brain, centralizing all project information.
It makes design decisions based on data and artificial intelligence, enabling the creation of spaces that the human brain could never have imagined.
V I D E O D E M O
Athena is trained with all the information from your architectural firm to understand the context and apply detailed analysis that drives creative solutions, improves efficiency, and transforms projects into true functional masterpieces.
* "Context" interface, trained with user data, to understand the context.
First Athena must know your architectural firm.
Our "context" core acts as a digital architectural brain, centralizing all project information and processing it in real time.
It's like having a new member of your team with global architectural knowledge, trained on millions of plans, designs, and regulations. It connects Revit data, legal documents, costs, and more in one place, and can interweave ideas and references that have never been combined before.
It offers instant feedback, learns from every interaction, and integrates with your favorite tools to optimize your design decisions.
Then we simulate the neurons of a brain.
Our AI-powered chat can view your screen and process information in real time. It not only provides instant feedback but also detects details you might have missed, connects ideas you hadn't considered, and suggests innovative solutions.
As you progress through your project, it provides answers to your questions, automatically updates data, and offers new insights, improving your productivity and the quality of your work. With this assistant, the benefits of artificial intelligence are naturally integrated into your workflow.

What if we added more windows to the facades to better utilize natural light?
I've analyzed the solar incidence for each facade and added windows. Energy savings will increase by 15%.
Architect, look at your Revit screen. I've identified a potential optimization. If we shift the south-facing columns by 20 cm, we reduce steel usage by 12%.
Reducing steel? And how does that affect load calculations?
I've already recalculated the loads. The new configuration distributes the weight more evenly and even improves resistance to lateral seismic loads by 8%.
Do you want to apply the change now?
I've noticed that the staircase doesn't comply with the regulations of the municipality where this project will be located. The width should be 1.20 m, not 1.10 m.
What about the sleeping area? Does the fit affect the overall design?
The landing remains within the project's aesthetic framework and complies with regulations. Architect: The marble finish increases the total cost by 18%. I have virtually replaced that material with a high-quality porcelain tile, reducing the cost by 35% while maintaining a similar appearance.
It's interesting, but will customers accept this change?
According to my analysis of similar projects in this region, 92% of clients opted for porcelain when presented with a physical sample. Should we proceed with the proposal?
This "Model" core is capable of providing feedback, analyzing the project database, searching the internet for information, generating and displaying relevant images, evaluating the context, and offering precise recommendations for improving the design, ensuring optimal planning.
Feedback.
I checked my context database and saw that the project is located in Condesa, Mexico.
Key native plants:
Tlacote (attracts pollinators), purslane (edible), wild basil (repellent), dahlia (national flower), and cosmos (attracts butterflies).
Strategies:
Integrate native species in parks, paths, and urban walls with botanical information.
Vertical roofs/gardens with local varieties for energy efficiency.
Reforestation with native trees (e.g., Plumeria rubra, Cojoba arborea) for wildlife refuge.
Benefits:
Reduced maintenance, resistance to pests/local climate, improved biodiversity and air quality.

Introducing
Operator is about giving ATENEA access to the web, so it can perform tasks in the outside world.
It also gives it access to any architectural software, such as Revit and AutoCAD, simply by viewing the computer screen and taking control of the mouse.
V I D E O D E M O
Athena is able to browse the web, reviewing any page, for example materials, regulations, photos, videos, and anything else hosted on it.
Athena on the WEB.
*Athena searching for stairs on Google.
Athena is able to log into web-based applications, such as Google apps. Of course, the user must confirm the login as a precaution, which takes Athena's abilities even further.

*Athena making and sharing a document in Google Sheets.
Athena will integrate computer vision to control the mouse and execute tasks using AI, along with an intuitive chat. This will allow you to automate processes in Revit that its API doesn't support, acting externally as a user. It maximizes productivity by combining natural interaction and external automation, overcoming technical limitations.

It also includes labels, for example, for features of the 3D model, as well as the commands in REVIT. This helps you know where to click and how to navigate within the software interface. This applies to any architectural software.
In a recent experiment, we compared an architect's performance using manual methods versus using our AI-based solution to gather key information in a 1-hour design workflow. The task was to search for and synthesize relevant data, such as regulations, project documents, and other paperwork essential to architectural development.
When the architect worked manually, he had to review various sources, read, and analyze the information, which took approximately 15 minutes to complete, achieving 75% accuracy in data collection and evaluation.
In contrast, using the AI tool, the process was drastically reduced: in just 1 minute, the architect could access the entire necessary database and receive immediate feedback, as our AI is always integrated into the architect's workflow. By simply typing in what he wanted to receive from the data, the AI would provide it in seconds, achieving 95% accuracy.
These results are reflected in our graph, which uses an accuracy scale of 0 to 100, with AI ranking at 95% and the manual method at 75%. In terms of time, the difference is even more striking: 1 minute versus 15 minutes. This comparison highlights how integrating AI into the workflow not only optimizes response times but also significantly improves the quality and accuracy of the information obtained for the design process.

FAQ´s
How does it work?
There are two main steps. The first step involves providing context to the AI, providing images, videos, references, notes, and all relevant information about the architectural project so it can fully understand your needs. The second step is much more interactive: through a chat bubble accessible in any software and at any time, you can chat with the AI, accessing project information, receiving intelligent architectural proposals, and getting personalized assistance to optimize your designs and workflows.
Use Cases
Chat: Architect, the marble finish in the lobby increases the total cost by 18%. I've virtually replaced that material with a high-quality porcelain tile, reducing the cost by 35% while maintaining a similar appearance.
Architect: That's interesting, but will clients accept that change?
Chat: According to my analysis of similar projects in this region, 92% of clients opted for porcelain tile when presented with a physical sample. Should we proceed with the proposal? By the way, I've generated a parametric façade based on the surrounding urban patterns. You can see it on your screen. The design integrates elements that reflect the historical context of the area.
Architect: How did you do it? I hadn't planned anything so contextual.
Chat: I analyzed the surrounding buildings and generated an algorithm that extrapolates the predominant styles. The result is unique and harmonious. Do you want me to export it?
