AI knowledge base for Architects

Hello!

It’s been a while since I last shared an update — and with good reason.

I’ve been fully immersed in the launch of Super Archi, an all-in-one tool designed to connect AI to your own architectural data. It’s the kind of tool I wish I had years ago — and it’s launching very soon.

We’re counting down the days until launch, and I’ll be honest: it hasn’t been easy finding time. But the momentum is real — and I’m more convinced than ever that we’re heading in the right direction.

Super Archi at Release AEC, Paris

Some exciting news: Super Archi will be featured at Release AEC in Paris this November!

This brand-new event is led by François Brocard (of Maison & Objet, Material Bank…), and we immediately connected over a shared insight: architects are overwhelmed by tools, yet there’s no real platform curating the latest in AI and productivity for the architecture world.

Too often, events like BIM World feel like AI hasn’t even entered the conversation yet.

But let’s be honest: firms already leveraging AI are moving fast — and winning competitions. I’ve personally experienced this shift. If you’re not keeping up, you’re already behind.

Release AEC will feature top AI speakers and creators of AI-powered architecture tools that actually save you time. I’m thrilled to be part of this forward-thinking event and looking forward to connecting with many of you there.

Where It All Began: The Quest for a Knowledge Base

The idea behind Super Archi goes back further than most people realize.

From 2002 to 2006, while working at TER (a landscape and urban design agency), I began building internal knowledge bases. The goal was simple: save time, reuse project insights, and avoid reinventing the wheel.

Back then, my “knowledge base” was a mix of Excel files, PDF exports from AutoCAD, and massive folders of reusable blocks.

The real challenge? Not organizing the knowledge — but making it easy to find. Because the person searching rarely thinks the same way the person organizing does.

Even more frustrating: nobody enjoys digging through Excel sheets. And without the right tech, all that effort goes unused.

AI Changes Everything

Fast forward to today, and artificial intelligence has changed the game.

We can now search, summarize, and interact with project documents using natural language. The wall between the person who creates information and the person who needs it? It’s finally coming down.

But there’s a catch...

Why AI Often Fails for Architects

Over the past year and a half, I’ve been leading AI training sessions — both online and in person — specifically for architects. And the same issue keeps coming up:

AI can’t help you if it doesn’t have the right data.

Architectural project data isn’t neatly organized in online tools. It’s typically scattered across hard drives, siloed in folders, and inaccessible to AI.

So unless you’re going to manually upload every file to ChatGPT (spoiler: you’re not), the AI simply can’t deliver.

AI is only as smart as the context you give it.
If it doesn’t know the project history, the zoning constraints, or what was discussed in last week’s meeting — how can it provide relevant answers?

That’s Why I’m Building Super Archi

Super Archi was born from this exact problem — and from years of building knowledge systems the hard way.

The tool will allow you to:

• Import and structure your agency’s project data
• Connect it to an AI assistant
• Search your entire knowledge base with natural language
• Summarize projects, meeting notes, or constraints — even if you weren’t involved directly

Whether it’s the program, the PLU, or your project portfolio — your data can become fully searchable and contextualized.
