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 test and support the following browsers and devices.

1. Open the webpage

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

2. Sign in

Choose Log in, enter the email address 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 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.

Some tutorial steps replace the practice scene, so finish the walkthrough before investing time in your own changes there.

4. Make your own request

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:

Design a 180m2 courtyard house for a family of four

Inspect the result, then ask for a change and try to give the agent more complicated tasks

5. Tell us about your first experience
