According to a Hacker News post, Drafted—a new Y Combinator startup—is using AI to generate residential home designs in seconds. Users input simple constraints like lot shape, square footage, and room preferences, and the models produce complete floor plans and exterior elevations. The startup democratizes a process that traditionally costs tens of thousands of dollars and takes months. Users can explore designs in 2D and 3D, iterate instantly, and export files for construction. Drafted reports over 120,000 users have generated 325,000 designs in the past month.
