SketchPro was founded in 2023 in San Francisco to bring AI into architecture where it can actually be useful: inside the professional software architects rely on every day. Many AI design tools sit outside real workflows, producing pretty images that cannot feed back into a project. SketchPro takes the opposite approach, embedding an AI copilot directly within Autodesk Revit and the broader architecture, engineering, and construction stack so it can operate on the live project itself.
The product is positioned as an AI junior architect. It works on a project's actual models, views, schedules, and sheets, automating the documentation and drafting work that consumes enormous amounts of professional time. Tasks like producing construction documentation, drafting, rendering, and other repetitive design chores are handled by AI agents operating in the architect's environment, freeing senior staff to focus on design intent and client work.
This deep integration is SketchPro's core differentiator. Because it acts on Revit's live data rather than exporting to a separate canvas, its outputs are connected to the real project and fit the precise, standards-driven nature of architectural documentation. That makes it relevant to the parts of an architect's job that are most tedious and most valuable to accelerate, rather than only the visually appealing concept phase.
SketchPro is being actively deployed at top architecture firms, addressing a structural gap in the profession: a shortage of skilled labor for documentation-heavy work and growing pressure to deliver faster. By targeting the AEC stack specifically, the company is building for a large, underserved professional market rather than the broad consumer design space.
The company raised a 4.5 million dollar seed round led by Khosla Ventures and Neo, with backing from leaders connected to OpenAI, Ramp, Harvey, and Brex. That investor base reflects confidence in applying agentic AI to a demanding vertical workflow. With this funding, SketchPro is expanding its copilot's capabilities and its presence inside professional architecture practices.
