What is Gendo?
Gendo is a browser-based AI rendering platform for architects and designers that generates photorealistic renders from sketches, 3D/CAD exports, or reference images on a collaborative design canvas. Users can swap materials and finishes via prompts with region selection, apply style transfer while preserving design fidelity, run parallel renders of variations, and upscale outputs to 4x. It supports exterior, landscape/garden, and interior project categories, plus short AI video generation. A free tier offers unlimited (watermarked) generations, with paid Studio and Enterprise plans for teams.
