SWAPP

custom quote / credit-based (priced per sq ft and workflow complexity); no public tiers or dollar figures Produce & Issue Documents

AI co-pilot platform for architecture firms that automates construction documentation and BIM modeling inside Revit and ArchiCAD -- generating complete CD sets (dimensions, tags, views, sheets), 2D-to-3D modeling, and ADA compliance checks, grounded in each firm's own annotation standards and QA rules.

Independent, A-funded -- raised $18.5M, last round May 2023 led by Eurazeo.

2.4 /5 composite score
A well-funded, live-production AI documentation platform (35M+ sq ft delivered, 7 years in market since 2019) with deep Revit/ArchiCAD integration and named enterprise customers (Page, Stantec, VLK Architects, MOREgroup), but quote-only custom credit pricing, vendor-led two-week onboarding, and no public API make it an enterprise-only commitment.

Alternatives in BIM Authoring

Free, open-source native IFC authoring add-on for Blender (formerly named BlenderBIM, renamed Bonsai in 2024). Built on the IfcOpenShell library, it lets users view, author, and enrich IFC BIM models directly inside Blender, covering modeling, drawing generation, and openBIM workflows. Distinct from the catalog's unrelated existing "Bonsai" entry (hellobonsai.com, a freelancer invoicing SaaS).
4.6/5
A full desktop BIM authoring platform from Graphisoft built specifically for architects to model buildings and produce coordinated drawings and documentation.
4.2/5
A combined CAD-and-BIM design platform from Vectorworks (Nemetschek Group) aimed at architects who want flexible modeling plus documentation in one tool.
4.0/5
A DWG-native BIM tool (from Bricsys, now under Octave) that adds rule-based BIM modeling and auto-classification on top of a familiar AutoCAD-like drafting environment.
