About XKool

XKool Technology, founded in 2016, provides artificial intelligence applications for the architecture, real estate, and construction industries. The company was established in Shenzhen, China, by a team that includes Wanyu He, a former senior architect at OMA, and Chun Li, a former senior engineer at Google. The founders aimed to reduce repetitive and inefficient work for designers by leveraging AI.

The company's core offering is the XKool Design Cloud, a SaaS platform that integrates AI and Building Information Modeling (BIM) on the cloud, a technology it calls ABC (AI-driven BIM on Cloud). This platform provides tools for various stages of the architectural process, including site analysis, scheme generation, editing, and compliance checks against regulations. The product suite includes modules like MasterPlanner for optimizing planning schemes, BuildingCreator for floor plan design, and ColorMaster for site plan colorization. These tools are designed to automate repetitive calculations and data analysis, allowing architects to focus on creative tasks. XKool's platform assists in generating multiple design schemes quickly, providing data-driven decision support, and facilitating real-time collaboration among project teams.

XKool serves clients such as real estate developers, architectural design firms, and construction contractors. Its business model is primarily based on providing its cloud software as a service (SaaS), where users access the platform via purchased IDs. The company also offers professional consultation services, including project analysis, simulation, and intelligent optimization. In addition to its design tools, XKool has developed solutions for real estate management, prefabrication construction, and an academic research platform called ARP. The company also launched LookX, an AI image generation tool trained specifically for architectural design.
