Beyond the model
Arkyv is not only an Archicad plugin. It is a full assistant with web search, regulation search, document editing, and structured planning available in every conversation.
- Regulatory Search: search regulations from your region
- Project Search: find information across your project files, emails, client requirements, and meeting notes
- Legal Search: search legal precedents (currently Sweden only)
- Web search: ask Arkyv to look something up online
- Plan mode: have Arkyv break a complex request into smaller divisible tasks
- xlsx editing: read and update your xlsx files
- docx editing: read and update your docx files
How it works
The plugin uses Archicad's JSON command interface and can use the open-source Tapir extension for supported workflows. The agent is grounded in your actual project state: reads return live model data, and writes are logged so you can review what changed.
