Problem Solved

Traditional AEC design workflows often involve fragmented communication channels, such as emails, PDFs, and disconnected markups, leading to inefficiencies, version control issues, and miscommunication among teams.

Unique Value Proposition

Motif.io offers a shared, infinite canvas accessible via any browser, allowing teams and clients to collaboratively explore, markup, and share design ideas in real-time without the need for specialized tools or training.

Differentiation from Competitors

  • Real-Time Integration: Motif.io live-streams data from design software like Revit and Rhino, ensuring that all stakeholders view the most up-to-date designs without manual exports. Comments and feedback sync automatically, maintaining consistency across platforms.
  • 2D and 3D Collaboration: Unlike some platforms that focus solely on 2D or 3D, Motif.io enables sketching, markup, and collaboration in both dimensions, accommodating the inherently 3D nature of building design.

Target Audience

  • Architects and Designers: Professionals seeking a centralized platform to collaborate on designs, receive feedback, and ensure all team members are aligned.​
  • Engineering Teams: Engineers who require up-to-date design information and a space to provide input without the hassle of managing multiple file versions.​
  • Construction Managers and Clients: Stakeholders who benefit from real-time access to design progress, facilitating informed decision-making and reducing delays.​
