Getting started

Before you begin

Make sure you have a beta acceptance email that indicates that your account has been added to our system. We currently support the following browsers and devices.

1. Open the webpage

Follow the link in your acceptance email. Allow the web application to finish loading before starting.

2. Sign in

Choose Log in using the email address that was approved for the beta, and enter the code sent to your inbox.

If you cannot access the beta, check that you’re using the same email address you registered for the Beta with. Contact support@arkio.is if you still need help.

3. Try the guided tutorial

The design with the AI agent tutorial introduces conversation, navigation, selection, and sketching through a prepared design example.

Its suggested requests, model changes, and example images are prepared demonstrations. They show how the workflow fits together; they are not generated live. The guided examples do not use AI credits.

The agent tutorial steps replace the practice scene, so finish the walkthrough before making your own changes to this scene.

4. Start your own AI design conversations

Start a new chat and describe the design you’d like to explore. Your own requests use the live AI agent and require an active login and available AI credits.

Try loading an image, drawings or a sketch of your favorite building and ask it to recreate it.

Or give it a design brief like:

Create a 3D model based on the provided photos/sketches/drawings.

Design a 180 m² Victorian-style, three-bedroom house for a family of four.

Design a 60,000-seat football stadium in an urban context.

Inspect the result, then ask for a change and try to give the agent more complicated tasks. You can learn more about working with the AI agent on this page
