## Companies

### [Formas.AI](https://citesprout.com/network/formas-ai)

Formas.AI is a software tool that provides Cartesian, a 3D modelling platform where AI agents build solids and freeform surfaces. It coordinates multiple AI models for architecture and furniture design work.

Latest update (Oct 16, 2026): Formas.AI organized CartesianForms, a global AI architecture competition sponsored by OpenAI, with Parametric Architecture as media partner. Source: [formas.ai](https://www.formas.ai/blog/cartesianforms-ai-architecture-competition-2026)

### [Autodesk](https://citesprout.com/network/autodesk)

Autodesk is a maker of design software including Revit, AutoCAD, Fusion and Forma. It develops AI foundation models such as Neural CAD that generate editable CAD geometry, along with an AI Assistant for its products.

Latest update (Sep 15, 2026): Autodesk plans a standalone, agent-first Assistant that spans products, projects and teams, and has developed Assistant Builder for templated agentic workflows. Source: [aecmag.com](https://aecmag.com/ai/autodesk-extends-reach-of-ai-with-standalone-assistant/)

### [Illoca](https://citesprout.com/network/illoca)

Illoca is a startup that builds AI-assisted design workspaces for architecture, engineering and construction. Its tools turn sketches, images and text prompts into editable plans, massing studies and parametric 3D geometry.

Latest update (Aug 21, 2026): Illoca launched Plamo, a browser-based agentic 3D workspace that turns sketches, images and text prompts into editable parametric geometry, built on BREP models with parametric logic instead of static meshes.
