Empoli vs Luw.ai Studio

Empoli is an AI ecosystem for architects and developers that turns 2D plans into editable 3D models, supports client walkthroughs, and lists BIM validation. Its 2D-to-3D tool is built into Revit and can export to Revit, IFC, or VR-ready formats. Empoli RTR accepts FBX files exported from Revit, ArchiCAD, or SketchUp. It automatically applies lighting, materials, and detail to uploaded models, then creates a link clients can open on a laptop, tablet, or phone without installing software. Supported inputs also include floor-plan images, 2D drawings, PDF, AutoCAD files, and ZIP archives with textures. Empoli BIM is described as in development, with automated building-code validation and multi-discipline clash detection planned. Empoli is available on the web and iOS; the RTR app requires iOS 15.0 or later or iPadOS 15.0 or later. A free plan and a free 30-day trial are listed, with no credit card required for the trial. Users can access, export, or delete data from Settings.

Luw.ai Studio is a browser-based floor-plan generator and 3D design studio that turns briefs, photos, sketches, and other supported inputs into editable scenes. Its in-editor AI architect uses more than 40 browser-side tools to create and edit measurable geometry that can be undone. The generator makes scaled 2D and 3D plans with walls, doors, windows, dimensions, and baseline room sizes and clearances. Users can furnish rooms from a catalog of more than 150 items, with placements checked against door swings and clearances. Rendering supports photorealistic or stylized 4K and 8K output, prompts, reference images, and day or night settings. Studio imports DXF and IFC, with IFC described as early alpha, and exports dimensioned PNG or SVG plans and GLB, OBJ, and STL models. Sharing supports view-only, download, or edit access; MCP access enables headless use with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or a user's own agent. The free plan offers two credits per day, while paid plans start at $19 per month.
