In brief
- The second-generation software aims to work from a project brief or sketch and create drawings for a building’s different disciplines.
- It covers architecture, structural systems, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and interior design.
- The company says a design change is applied throughout the project and checked against local building codes.
- The first version costs $3,200–$8,500 per month, depending on the plan; pricing for the second version has not been announced.
Blueprints AI plans to launch the second generation of its software, which aims to automate architectural drawing workflows, this week. According to a TechCrunch report dated 12 October 2026, the company will showcase the new version at TechCrunch Disrupt, taking place in San Francisco from 13–15 October. Blueprints AI co-founders Al Drams and Coco Cao say the software can start with a project brief or sketch and generate drawings covering a building’s different disciplines.
What does the second version offer?
While the first version creates architectural construction documents, the second will also let users design and edit projects. According to the company, the initial input can be a project brief or sketch, and the software can prepare coordinated drawings for architecture, structural systems, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and interior design.
A key workflow is applying a change throughout the entire project. Blueprints AI says the updated design is checked against local building codes. These capabilities are based on the company’s product descriptions; the report does not include independent performance data on how the software performs across different project types and regulations.
Training data and release plans
According to the co-founders, the models were trained on eight years of approved drawing sets from Drams’ design and construction firm. The report says early customers have begun using the second version, which is expected to become generally available this week.
The company’s first-generation software costs between $3,200 and $8,500 per month, depending on the plan, with custom pricing also available for enterprise customers. Since this pricing applies to the first version, it should not be taken to mean that the second generation will cost the same. Pricing for the second version has not been announced. The company is also considering adding a one-time payment option for customers who want to use the software for a single project.
Blueprints AI is also working on a third version. The report lists structural analysis and electrical panel design among the planned additions, but gives no release date.
Impact on architecture and visualization workflows
Architecture, engineering, and design firms, as well as developers and property owners, are among the user groups the company is targeting. Automating repetitive drawing tasks could help project teams spend more time on design and coordination. However, the completeness and regulatory compliance of the drawings, as well as coordination across disciplines, will need to be tested on real projects.
The tool is not described as visualization software; the report covers a product focused on construction documents and drawing production. For archviz teams, a potential benefit could be faster preparation of a project’s cross-disciplinary documents. However, no information is provided about the software’s compatibility with existing modeling and visualization tools. The company specifically emphasizes that licensed architects must review and approve the documents before permit applications are submitted. Automation, then, does not replace professional review.

Blueprints AI’s second version stands out for its promise of saving time, particularly on repetitive drawing and update tasks. For architecture firms, the real test will be whether a single change produces consistent results across disciplines and how much editing the drawings need in actual project workflows. The company’s features sound promising, but independent performance data has not yet been shared.
When assessing the price, offices in Turkey should not assume that the first version’s monthly fee is also the price of the second version; its cost has not been announced. Local code checks, compatibility with existing tools, and review by a licensed architect should also factor into the decision. Automation does not remove professional responsibility.
