Gendo

What it does

Gendo is an AI rendering workspace for architecture and design teams. Users upload sketches or design images to a collaborative canvas and generate photorealistic renders, swap materials and finishes with a prompt, and switch styles while keeping the underlying design. Outputs are images, and video generation is offered on paid plans.

People use Gendo across concept design, client communication, and planning delivery. Its canvas is described as a shared space where teams iterate and make decisions together, and the vendor cites case studies about faster iteration and planning approvals. Its distinguishing emphasis is data governance: the vendor states that designs on paid plans are not used to train AI models, with EU hosting and configurable retention.

Gendo suits architects, designers, and studios, with a free plan for individuals and a free Educational plan for students and educators using .edu or .ac email. Access is through a browser sign-up. The free plan has a watermark and limited assets, and the Educational plan prohibits commercial use. Studio pricing is billed per year or monthly, and Enterprise requires a minimum of 20 seats.
