What Maket (Techstars '21) does

Maket Technologies Inc. is a Montréal-based AI company founded in 2021 that operates an AI-powered home design studio for residential projects. Its browser-based platform generates floor plans from text prompts, ingests and vectorizes uploaded plans and sketches, supports conversational AI editing of layouts via natural language, and produces photorealistic 3D renderings from layout plus style-reference inputs. The product spans four core surfaces — AI Floor Plan Generator, AI Chat-Based Editing, Draw from Scratch with AI Auto-Complete, and a 3D Visualizer — targeting homeowners with renovation or new-build plans, homebuilders and contractors preparing client pitches, real estate developers testing unit mixes under zoning constraints, and design professionals accelerating schematic-phase work. Underlying technology pairs proprietary models trained on architectural data with third-party large language model providers and Google Cloud infrastructure.

Maket monetizes through a freemium funnel: a free tier grants 50 one-time credits for single-story generation, while a Plus subscription at $20/month provides 300 monthly credits, multi-floor generation up to four stories, and access to non-expiring credit topup packs starting at $10 for 150 credits. A newer Pro/Business tier introduces reusable preset templates, dashboard cards, and B2B upload assistance with a 24-hour turnaround for unprocessable plans, while a dedicated enterprise specialist handles larger accounts. Distribution is product-led via the web app at app.maket.ai, supplemented by SEO-driven content marketing, educational YouTube tutorials, and an organic social channel on X (@MaketPlans). The company is privately held, Canadian-incorporated, and a 2021 graduate of the Techstars accelerator, co-founded by CEO Patrick Murphy (growth and product background) and COO Stéphane Turbide (former architecture practice), and led operationally with named executives including a Head of Growth. Maket also discloses a strategic partnership with Japan's Lib Work to extend the platform internationally.

Core offering

Maket provides an AI-powered browser-based home design studio that generates residential floor plans from text prompts or uploaded layouts, enables conversational editing via natural language, and renders photorealistic 3D visualizations. The platform combines proprietary AI models with third-party large language model providers to deliver end-to-end design capabilities without requiring CAD or architectural software experience. Users describe requirements in plain language and receive dimensionally accurate layouts with automatic features such as closet placement and AI auto-completion.

Product overview

Maket is a unified AI-powered home design studio combining floor plan generation, conversational AI editing, manual draw-from-scratch tools, and 3D visualization into a single browser-based platform. The core product, the Maket AI Home Design Studio, centers on the AI Floor Plan Generator for creating layouts from text prompts, AI Chat-Based Editing for conversational modifications, Draw from Scratch + AI Auto-Complete for hybrid manual-AI workflows, and the 3D Visualizer for photorealistic rendering. The platform is offered via Free (50 one-time credits) and Plus ($20/month, 300 monthly credits with topup packs) pricing tiers. Credits are consumed per generation action (20 credits/floor plan, 10 credits/render).

Products and services

• Maket AI Home Design Studio Browser-based AI-powered studio for residential floor plan generation, editing, and 3D visualization. Users generate plans from text prompts, refine layouts via chat or manual controls, and render photorealistic 3D spaces from floor plans and style references. Designed for homeowners, homebuilders, real estate developers, and design professionals.
• AI Floor Plan Generator Generates residential floor plans from text prompts specifying room count, square footage, and style requirements. Also accepts uploads of existing floor plans (images or PDFs) for AI-assisted editing and renovation planning. Produces dimensionally accurate layouts with automatic bedroom closet placement and multi-floor support up to 4 stories.
• AI Chat-Based Floor Plan Editing Conversational AI editing feature that lets users modify floor plans by typing natural language prompts.

Aimed at homeowners and design professionals seeking rapid iteration without manual drawing.
• Draw from Scratch with AI Auto-Complete Manual drawing tool enabling users to sketch walls by clicking and dragging, place furniture from a library, and render in 3D. AI auto-complete fills in remaining rooms after the user defines known spaces, combining manual control with AI assistance for hybrid workflows.
• 3D Visualizer Renders floor plans in photorealistic 3D using text prompts and uploaded style reference images. Users describe materials, colors, and finishes, and the platform generates 3D renders showing furniture, lighting, and textures for visualizing spaces before construction.

Direct peers

• HomeByMe: Online 3D home planning platform from Dassault Systèmes serving consumers and homebuilders. Comparable residential design and 3D visualization offering with enterprise builder integrations.
• Coohom: 3D home design platform combining floor planning with photorealistic rendering for homeowners and interior designers. Comparable AI-driven visualization and floor plan editing capabilities, with a stronger international footprint.
• Planner 5D: Browser and mobile home design platform offering 2D/3D floor plan creation with AI-assisted features. Directly comparable to Maket as a self-serve, consumer-and-prosumer home design tool with freemium and subscription pricing.
• Chief Architect: Long-standing residential and light commercial design software for homebuilders, remodelers, and architects. Comparable residential design vertical with much deeper construction documentation and BIM-grade outputs.
• RoomSketcher: Online floor plan and home design software serving homeowners, real estate professionals, and builders. Comparable target customer base and product-led GTM motion to Maket, though with less emphasis on generative AI.
• Cedreo: Home design software specifically targeted at homebuilders and residential construction professionals. Closest comparable to Maket's builder/developer segment and operates in the same residential-only vertical.
• Floorplanner: Browser-based floor plan creation tool serving consumers, real estate agents, and interior designers. Direct overlap with Maket's floor plan generation and visualization capabilities at a similar price point.
• Magicplan: Mobile floor plan scanning and design app used by contractors, inspectors, and homeowners. Comparable in enabling fast residential layout creation, with AI features now overlapping Maket's upload-and-edit flow.

Broad incumbents

• Autodesk: Owner of AutoCAD and Revit, the dominant CAD/BIM platforms used by architects and builders. Represents the incumbent Maket must compete with for professional design workflows, especially as Autodesk integrates AI features into its existing product suite.

Emerging players

• Spacely AI: AI-powered interior design and space planning tool focused on rendering and layout suggestions. Comparable generative AI approach to interior spaces, though currently narrower in scope than Maket's end-to-end studio.
