Gendo

AI design-to-image tool for architectural visualization

Overview

Gendo provides a browser-based AI-assisted toolset for architectural visualization. It converts user-uploaded design images (like PNGs/JPGs) into high-quality CGI in minutes and offers design-to-image, generative editing, and text-to-image capabilities for detailed visual customization (materials, lighting, era-specific furniture, and culturally appropriate figures). Users interact by uploading designs and using adjustable parameters to generate visuals, all through a subscription model with free, individual, professional, and team plans. This combination lets architects and designers rapidly iterate on visuals and create compelling client-ready presentations. Unlike broader rendering tools, Gendo focuses on AI-driven visualization tailored to architectural needs and provides an accessible, scalable platform from solo practitioners to firms. The goal is to speed up the design process and help professionals produce convincing visuals for clients.

Why we launched Studio Scale.

Why Gendo Technology Ltd launched Studio Scale. George Proud · CEO and Co-founder, Gendo 7 October 2026 Over the past year, something changed in how studios use Gendo. It stopped being the tool one or two people opened before a client meeting and became part of how whole teams work, every week, across every live project. Once that happens, the question a practice asks changes. A good image is no longer enough. Directors want every image to look like it came from their studio: the same approved materials, the same level of finish and the same way of presenting, whichever designer, team or project produced it. That is the reason for Studio Scale. The Studio plan was designed for adoption: getting a team onto one canvas, rendering, iterating and making decisions together. The studios now asking Gendo Technology Ltd for more are past that point. They want to standardise how Gendo is used across the practice, keep output consistent from one project to the next, bring new staff into an established workflow quickly, and see clearly how the whole studio is using it. Studio Scale is built for that: one standard, applied across the whole studio. What Gendo Technology Ltd kept hearing from studios. Three themes came up again and again in conversations with the practices that use Gendo most. Output was being rationed. Video has become one of the most effective ways to communicate a scheme, but per-clip limits meant teams were choosing which projects deserved it. That is the wrong decision to force on a design team. Leadership lacked visibility. Directors wanted to understand adoption in practical terms: which projects are generating work, which teams are getting value, and where support is needed. Without that, it is hard to standardise a workflow or justify it internally. Consistency mattered more than novelty. Studios have a house standard: the materials they specify, the way they present, the level of finish a client expects. They wanted Gendo to reflect that standard across every project, not to reinvent it every time. What is available in Studio Scale now. Studio Scale includes everything in the Studio plan, plus the following, all live today. Unlimited video generation. Move from single hero shots to video across every project, without per-clip limits. Fair use applies. Walkthroughs, orbits and short edits can now be part of the normal design conversation rather than a special occasion. See video in Gendo. Organisation analytics and a monthly report. The account owner receives a monthly report showing how much the studio is generating, across which projects, and how the team is using Gendo at practice, project and designer level. It gives leadership a clear, factual view of adoption. Priority human support and VIP onboarding. Direct access to a senior specialist, with no queues and no tiers. Every Studio Scale organisation also gets a VIP onboarding call, where Gendo Technology Ltd walk the team through the plan and configure Gendo around the studio's standards. Custom Catalogue: your studio's shared materials library. Custom Catalogue gives your team its own private library of approved materials, up to 1,000, uploaded by its team and available to everyone in the studio. It includes six catalogue updates a year, and larger libraries are available at additional cost. It is the first part of what Gendo Technology Ltd call the consistency phase of Studio Scale, and it is launching now. Where Studio Scale is going. Gendo Technology Ltd has been open with studios about the roadmap, because the plan is designed to grow with them. * Phase one, more output: unlimited video, VIP onboarding, priority support and organisation analytics. Live. * Phase two, more consistency: Custom Catalogue (launching now), followed by custom studio styles, organisation-level standards and enhanced team management. * Phase three, more intelligence: project memory and studio knowledge, intelligent workflows, project agents and advanced API access. The direction is simple. Gendo should become more useful the more a studio puts into it, while the studio's work stays its own. Your projects, materials and decisions remain private to your organisation, and are never used to train models. Pricing and access. Studio Scale is £59 per user per month, with a minimum of five users. Existing paying studios receive 20% off their first three months, bringing it to £47 per user per month (€55 or $63). After that it moves to the standard price, or Gendo Technology Ltd can discuss an annual commitment. You can step back to Studio at any renewal. There is no migration. Confirm the upgrade with the email on your Gendo account and Gendo Technology Ltd apply Studio Scale within 24 hours, with your projects, canvases and team exactly as they were. A note from me. Gendo Technology Ltd built Gendo to give architecture teams control over AI, not the other way round. Studio Scale is the next step in that: more output where it helps, clear visibility for the people accountable for it, and consistency that reflects how your studio actually works. If your team already relies on Gendo, I would encourage you to take a look at Studio Scale. And if you have thoughts on what should come next, I would genuinely like to hear them.
