Awarded by Architizer — Best AI Tool for Design Iteration

Architizer Award · 2026

# Best AI Tool for Design Iteration. 

Awarded by Architizer for changing how studios iterate. Gendo is the collaborative AI canvas for architecture teams — generate, iterate, and align on one shared workspace, from sketch to sign-off.

One Canvas. Whole Studio.

## Generate, iterate, and align — on one shared canvas.

Gendo replaces the scattered loop of renders, screenshots, email threads, and review decks. Every variation, comment, and decision sits in one versioned workspace — so the studio moves together, not in parallel.

### Multiplayer Studio

Directors, designers, and clients reviewing the same canvas — live.

### Infinite Variations

Explore options side-by-side without losing the original intent.

### In-Canvas Feedback

Comments, mark-ups, and decisions captured where the work lives.

### Versioned by Default

Every iteration traceable. Nothing lost between reviews.
