Text to CAD

AI floor plan generator that draws real CAD, not a picture.

Describe the plan in plain English. Dillo Bot drafts it, renders a preview, checks its own work, and hands you editable DWG/DXF geometry — not a flat image you can't change. It picks a proven layout from 80 reference plans and sizes it to your request.

Free tier included. Runs in your browser. Files never leave your machine.


The vision loop

Text in. A drawing that checks itself. CAD out.

The wedge isn't "AI added to a floor-plan tool." It's an AI that sees the preview of what it just drew and fixes it — the same loop a human drafter runs.

  1. 1

    Answer a few questions, or just describe it

    A short intake asks the things that change the drawing — building type, size, how many bedrooms or occupants, gas or electric, ADA — and every field is optional. Then type what you want: "array three 30 by 40 flower rooms off the north corridor", "add an ADA restroom in the northwest corner". If something that matters is still missing, it asks up to three questions with sensible defaults rather than guessing.

  2. 2

    The engine drafts it — and looks at its own work

    Dillo Bot draws the geometry, places library blocks, renders a preview, and reads the result back with a vision loop so it can catch and correct its own mistakes before you do.

  3. 3

    Keep editing, then export real CAD

    Everything it draws is live, editable geometry on real layers — not a flat picture. Trim, move, re-dimension, then export DXF (and DWG on Pro) that any copy of AutoCAD opens.

Honest capabilities

What it does — and what it doesn't

No invented demos, no fake stats. This is what the engine actually does today.

What it does

  • Pick a proven layout from 80 reference plans — 39 residential styles and 41 commercial — and size it to your request
  • Draw walls, doors, windows, room labels with areas, overall dimensions and fixtures to scale
  • Place from 398 professional blocks — doors, ADA fixtures, MEP piping, appliances
  • Array, mirror, offset and modify geometry on command
  • Output real, editable DWG/DXF geometry on named layers — not a flattened image
  • Run in your browser on desktop, tablet or phone — nothing to install

What it doesn't (yet)

  • It is a 2D drafting agent, not a 3D or rendering-photoreal tool (simple 3D is on the roadmap)
  • It does not do code compliance or structural design — verify against local code
  • It will say so when a request does not fit a reference layout, rather than inventing one
  • It will not invent measurements you did not give it — vague inputs get honest, conservative geometry
Real output

The result is editable geometry, not a rendering

Every entity the engine draws lands on a named layer as genuine CAD geometry. Trim it, move it, re-dimension it, place more blocks, then export.

Answers

AI CAD, answered honestly

Can AI generate a floor plan from text?

Yes. Describe the building and Dillo Bot picks the closest of 80 reference layouts — residential and commercial — sizes it to your request, and draws walls, doors, windows, room labels with areas, overall dimensions and fixtures to scale. The output is real, editable DWG/DXF geometry on named layers, not a flat image, and you keep editing it in the browser.

Is this a text-to-CAD tool?

Yes — that is exactly the model. You describe what you want in words and the engine produces CAD geometry you can keep editing and export as DXF or DWG. Unlike a diagram tool, the result is genuine CAD entities on real layers with real dimensions, so it opens and edits in AutoCAD, LibreCAD, BricsCAD or DraftSight.

How is this different from an AI that just draws a picture?

An image generator returns a flat rendering you cannot edit or measure. CADdillo returns real CAD geometry — lines, polylines, blocks and text on named layers — and it sees its own preview to self-correct. You get a drawing you can trim, move, re-dimension and export, not a JPEG of a floor plan.

Does it actually export DWG and DXF?

Yes. Everything the engine drafts is editable geometry you export as DXF (and DWG on Pro) that any version of AutoCAD opens. DXF export runs in your browser; full DWG round-trip goes through the CADdillo conversion service. DWG files written by CADdillo open in AutoCAD and other CAD software; AutoCAD shows a notice that the file was not created by an Autodesk application, which is normal for every non-Autodesk CAD tool.

What can AI CAD not do — honestly?

It is a 2D drafting agent, not a 3D modeler (simple 3D is on the roadmap) and not a substitute for a licensed professional. It does not do code compliance or structural design, and it will not fabricate measurements you did not provide. When a request does not fit any of the 80 reference layouts it says so rather than inventing one. We would rather tell you that than oversell it.

Do my drawings get uploaded to a server?

Viewing and manual drawing happen entirely in your browser — files are parsed on your own machine with no upload. AI drafting sends your prompt to the engine to generate geometry; it does not publish or share your drawing, and there is no public gallery. That is different from cloud editors whose free tier makes every project public.

Describe the plan. Let the engine draft it.
