Why BIM teams use Arkyv
- Cross-platform: one agent that speaks Revit, Rhino, and Archicad natively
- Grounded in your model: every answer comes from the live document, not a training snapshot
- Bulk-ready: edit hundreds of parameters in a single transaction, with one approval
- Auditable: every read and write is logged and reviewable
- Extensible: supported workflows can use direct host API access when a built-in tool is not enough
Beyond the model
Arkyv is not only a BIM agent. 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 is different from a generic chatbot
Most 'AI for BIM' demos are wrappers around ChatGPT with a few canned tools. Arkyv connects to each supported host through that platform's integration surface: Revit's .NET API, RhinoCommon, and the Archicad JSON interface, with Tapir available for supported workflows. The agent does not just talk about your model. It reads it, edits it, and reports back.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers before you reach out.
Arkyv runs inside your host application and only sends the minimum context needed to answer or execute the request. Model reads and writes happen through the host plugin, and you review write actions before they run. Full model files are not uploaded by default. Conversation context is processed in the cloud.
