An AI agent that works inside your design tools

Heron reviews your model, identifies issues, and proposes solutions. Upon approval, it edits automatically. This concept crafted by Bearplus agency, the award-winning design agency.

THE REPETITIVE PARTS OF MODELLING SHOULDN'T EAT YOUR DAY. HERON HANDLES THE FIDDLY, MANUAL WORK SO YOU CAN STAY FOCUSED ON THE DESIGN, NOT THE SOFTWARE.

clients
Works natively inside the tools you already use, including Revit, Rhino, ArchiCAD and SketchUp.
PROBLEMS

Your design tools do what you tell them, nothing more

Design software is powerful but passive. It waits for every instruction, gives no advice, and can't act on its own, so all the repetitive work stays on you.

Manual[01]

Every change is on you

You make each edit by hand, one at a time, even the ones you've done a hundred times before.

Disjointed[02]

AI help sits outside your model

Generic AI tools can't see your project, so you keep copying, pasting, and re-explaining the same context.

BLIND[03]

Nothing watches for problems

Issues sit quietly in your model until you happen to spot them, if you spot them at all.

SLOW[04]

Small tasks pile up into lost days

The fiddly work that fills your week is exactly the work software should be doing for you.

Right there with you

For the whole design

Introduction

Architects spend hours on manual modelling, coordination, and cleanup, work that pulls focus away from the actual design.

Most of it is repetitive and rule-based, the kind of task that shouldn't need a person doing it by hand every time.

Heron works inside your design tool as an agent that sees your model, flags issues, and makes edits on your approval, so the busywork stops eating your day.

Your model. Your tools. Connected.

RUN AN AGENT NATIVELY IN YOUR MODEL

Heron runs inside the design software you already use. It reads your model, understands what you're working on, and can make changes directly, with every action shown to you first so nothing happens without your say-so.

Heron Chat widget

Floor plan with two meeting rooms; left room highlighted in red and a chat widget discussing HVAC clearance.

A chat that floats over your design tool. Ask it about your model or tell it what to change, and it acts inside the software on your approval.

Heron Dashboard

Dashboard shows active 8, pending 4, model health 94%, time saved 16.8 hrs, and AI activity tasks.

Ask code questions about your building and get answers that reflect how the code applies to your layout, occupancy, and conditions, not just what the requirements say in isolation.

WHY US

BUILT TO WORK THE WAY YOU DO

Heron fits into your process instead of replacing it. It watches quietly, speaks up when something needs attention, and only acts when you say so, so you stay in control the whole way through.
