ArchX by FrontierX: an AI agent for architecture firms
ArchX is a desktop app for Mac and Windows. Choose the project folder and describe the task in your own words. ArchX opens the documents, uses the right tools and saves the result as editable files: Excel workbooks with formulas, Word and PDF documents, DXF drawings and IFC.
Bid leveling
ArchX reads each GC bid, checks it against the Instructions to Bidders, values excluded scope with comparison plugs that are marked as such, and drafts the letter to the owner. Recorded test project: three bids, lowest bid $389,900, an estimated $436,266.75 for comparison, 6 min 21 s.
Pay application review
ArchX checks a pay application in G703 layout against the agreement, the certificate log, change orders and earlier payments, works out the amount to pay and writes the report, a workbook and a draft letter. Recorded test project with planted errors: 4 of 4 found, $102,996.12 less than requested, 5 min 34 s. ArchX does not fill in AIA forms and does not certify; the architect checks and signs.
Quantity takeoff from PDF and IFC
Rooms, gross area, walls, doors and windows from the model, with the element named on each line, and from a PDF sheet where the model lacks them.
Zoning and massing
Recorded test project: a Dallas lot zoned MF-2(A), three massing options with unit counts, every limit with its code section.
AI agent in Archicad
In Archicad 28, 29 and 30 on Mac and Windows, ArchX reads the open model, takes off areas and quantities, computes FAR and lot coverage, and builds or changes walls, slabs, roofs, stairs, doors, windows and rooms from sentences. It checks every result in the model. No Graphisoft Collaborate subscription is needed.
Revit, AutoCAD and Vectorworks
ArchX reads IFC models, DXF files and PDF sheets exported from them and returns DXF drawings in inches that AutoCAD, Revit, Vectorworks and Archicad open. It does not read DWG files.
Your AI provider and your data
Each person connects a ChatGPT account (Plus or higher) or an API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral or xAI. Project files stay in the project folder; what ArchX reads for a task goes directly from the computer to the chosen provider and never automatically to FrontierX.
