Blueprints AI Unveils Second-Generation Blueprint Software at Disrupt

Blueprints AI unveiled a second-generation version of its AI software at TechCrunch Disrupt, according to TechCrunch. Co-founder Al Dram said the new version will become publicly available this week.

The second-generation software generates blueprints covering architecture, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and interior design from a description or a sketch. Version 2 also lets users design and make changes to a project: a single design change updates the entire project and is checked against local building codes.

The company said early customers are already using the second version. It added that the software does not replace licensed architects, who still review documents and affix their seal before the documents are submitted for permits.

Blueprints AI is now working on a third version that will add structural analysis and electrical panel design. The company was selected for the 2026 Startup Battlefield 200 cohort.

Background

Al Dram wrote his final thesis nearly two decades ago about software capable of generating design documents for school buildings, and launched the concept of Blueprints AI within six months of OpenAI's release of ChatGPT in November 2022. He incorporated the company in Santa Monica in 2025 with co-founder Coco Cao. The pair trained their models using eight years of approved drawing sets from Dram's design and construction firm. The first-generation software produces architectural construction documents and costs between $3,200 and $8,500 a month, depending on the plan.
