Snaptrude is a cloud-based building design platform with an AI design agent. It generates building programmes from prompts or RFPs, researches regulations and site constraints, converts massing into BIM, produces AI renders and exports to Revit and Rhino. It runs in the browser, with a free plan to start. Check regulations it finds against official sources.

## What is Snaptrude?

Snaptrude describes itself as an AI agent for AEC building design. It runs in the browser and takes a project from a brief or RFP through programme, massing and BIM, with AI renders, site analysis and export to Revit and Rhino.

## How do AEC teams use Snaptrude?

- Early design from a brief to massing
- Programme tables linked to the model
- Hand-off to Revit for documentation

## What should you check before using it on projects?

1. Check AI-found regulations against official bye-laws.
2. Test Revit exchange on a small project.
3. Ask about data use before uploading client briefs.
