Motif
Motif is a building design software company reimagining design software for the people who build our world. Founded by leaders with deep experience in design and construction technology, Motif is creating a new generation of agent-native tools for building design and collaboration.
Motif Overview
Motif is the company behind Motif Design, the first agent-native, open, collaborative BIM platform, where teams work together with AI agents in the same live model, in the browser.
Motif Design is real BIM, with genuine parametric, associative modeling at speed and scale. Motif’s AI agents are built into the model and take on the repetitive work so architects can spend more time designing. They can generate parametric content, check the design against the brief and building code, and keep the team updated on what changed. Any workflow can be saved as a skill the whole firm can reuse. Motif never trains AI on customer projects.
Because everyone works in one live model, there’s no syncing to central, no file locks, and nothing to install. Anybody can review and make changes without learning Revit, and clients can join from a link. Motif works alongside Revit, so firms can bring in their existing models and start with a single project.
Motif Design complements Motif Review, which launched in 2025 as a browser-based collaborative workspace where teams can present, visualize, render, mark up, and gather feedback on models together in real time. Together, the two products create one connected system of work for designing buildings and for bringing in the people who shape them.

Motif Demo with Matt Jezyk | Real-Time 2D & 3D Collaboration
Matt Jezyk of Motif demos a browser-based platform that syncs 2D sheets and 3D models live from Revit and Rhino, with no installs or PDF exports needed. Teams can markup, comment, and present directly in one workspace, with changes syncing back to source files—already drawing attention from firms like DLR Group and Heatherwick Studio.
