A few years ago, I was helping people design and build custom homes.
I expected the hard part to be construction.
Instead, I became obsessed with something that happened much earlier.
People had questions about what was possible, but getting answers often required weeks or months of work.
Then AI started making it dramatically easier to explore possibilities in other creative domains - images, music, video, coding.
It made me wonder:
What happens when exploring architecture becomes easy too?
That's what eventually became Drafted.
We believe AI can make it dramatically easier for people to imagine, explore, and ultimately shape the physical world around them.

Most people spend their lives living in buildings they had little influence over.
We believe AI can help change that.
Over the last month, 120,000 people generated 325,000+ home designs with Drafted.ai
Today, we're excited to share that we've raised a $16M Seed led by Buckley Ventures to continue building multimodal generative models for residential architecture and spatial design.
Here's a glimpse of what we're building:
That’s crazy
Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

I benchmarked 5 object storage providers from 6 locations around the world
I included:
- @awscloud S3
- @Cloudflare R2
- @Railway Buckets
- @Backblaze B2
- @neondatabase Storage
It used Files SDK to make it as fair as possible
Here's a summary 👇 (this is also a thread)
Huge congrats the Rahul and team!
we've raised $50M from Khosla Ventures, Accel, Initialized, Kevin Weil, DST Global
to build the world's most wearable BCI cap at Sabi

With so much data accessible to make trades and the intelligence of AI models, agentic trading makes a ton of sense.
Introducing Catalyst.
What do you believe? How would you trade on it?
You notice data centers are popping-up everywhere, gold will skyrocket, or just know that Labubus will go out of fashion.
Catalyst researches your ideas, builds the optimal strategy, monitors events, and executes trades. Autonomously.
This is super sick!!
Today we're launching rentahuman.ai/signs
The easiest way to advertise your product to the highest concentration of builders in the world.
Pick a corner, an event, or a company's front door, and real humans will show up holding your sign.

1/ Biological threats can bring a country to a halt without a single shot being fired. Yet much of our biodefense infrastructure has barely changed in decades, even as America’s institutions produce extraordinary scientific breakthroughs.
I've been only using Codex for a while now, but I finally canceled my Calude subscription after seeing so many step function improvements with Astra 🙌
Such a good feeling!
After seeing how unique my design designs are with the new roof editing, it's hard to imagine buying a house that already exists. Everything else just feels super cookie-cutter now.

it’s just insane that designing a custom home literally costs $10,000-$50,000+ and takes months
but this AI now lets you do it for free in under an hour lol
> you choose every room you want and set the target square footage
> next, you sketch the shape of the house and place important rooms like the kitchen, garage, or primary bedroom
> the AI turns those inputs into a complete floor plan, filling in the walls, doors, windows, and hallways
> if any section feels wrong, you highlight it and the AI regenerates only that area while keeping everything else intact
> when you drag a wall or resize a room, the AI automatically updates the roofline, exterior, and 3D model in real time
> once the layout feels right...you choose the materials, the AI renders the finished concept, and you export everything as PDF, CAD, or BIM files
so before a single wall gets built, you can keep redesigning the house until it finally matches the one in your head
then hand your architect the floor plan, exterior renders, and 3D model they need to bring it to life
It’s never been easier to design your dream house.
Draw a shape. Define your rooms. Set your constraints.
@DraftedAI generates complete floor plans, elevations, and 3D home designs in seconds.
