In their own words
Arkio
Arkio is a design collaboration tool for architects and other spatial designers. Its solid-modeling tools support boolean operations and parametric volumes, while meeting participants can view and edit the same scene together in real time. For design review, users can save views, add voice-transcribed notes, make AI renders, and collaborate on 2D frames. Plugins connect Arkio with Archicad, Navisworks, Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp for model and related-data import or export. The free Starter plan includes the modeling tools, one-on-one meetings, and OBJ, GLB, and image import and export. Pro allows up to six meeting participants and includes 500 AI credits per month; it costs $35/user/mo with annual billing or $45/user/mo with monthly billing. Enterprise supports up to 24 participants and includes 1,000 monthly AI credits per license. Each AI render uses one credit, and credits renew monthly. Arkio runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. A Pro license can be installed on two devices but used on only one at a time.
