Corbu is an AI-powered design assistant for architects, home builders, and interior designers. It uses generative AI to help professionals quickly generate, visualize, and iterate design ideas directly within their workflow.

Details

Overview

Corbu is a generative AI platform built for the built environment—architects, builders, interior designers—designed to streamline early-stage ideation and visualization. Users can generate building concepts, explore material palettes, and modify scenes interactively to speed up design decisions. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Value Proposition

By integrating text-to-image generation, style analysis, and rapid iteration tools, Corbu helps design professionals explore creative options  faster, reduce time spent sourcing visuals, and enhance communication with clients and stakeholders.
