MNKI

MNKI is an AI platform for architects and interior designers that turns sketches, floor plans and 3D sandbox models into photorealistic renders, with team workspaces, video and presentation modules. New accounts get 40 free credits.

MNKI is a web-based AI platform aimed at architects, interior designers and other spatial designers. Its core job is converting rough input, such as hand sketches, floor plans or simple 3D massing, into photorealistic renders, then carrying that work through to client-facing material. Rather than a single render button, it is organised as a set of modules that cover drawing, rendering, team collaboration and presentation. The module lineup is broad. AChAt is a conversational interface where designs are edited and rendered by chatting and dragging in files. MNKIStudio is the professional workspace, with nine modules, project management, a dual AI setup, 30-plus styles, inpainting and batch rendering. MNKICanvas lets a user sketch freehand and render instantly without uploading anything, and it is listed as always free. MNKISpace provides shared team workspaces with live members and permissions. A 3D Sandbox, built on the open source Pascal project, lets users draw walls and roofs, place doors, furniture and materials, and walk through the result. MNKI Video (in beta) generates footage from prompts and edits it on a timeline, while MNKIPresent produces slide decks from renders in six design tones with PPTX export, powered by Claude. In practice, a designer signs up with Google or email, receives 40 free credits to try every module, and can start in the free canvas or sandbox before spending credits on renders. Inpainting handles revisions to part of an image, which suits iterative client feedback. Video and presentation features sit behind Pro and VIP plans, and an enterprise workspace and student discount exist for company and university emails. Among alternatives, MNKI competes with dedicated architectural render tools and general image generators by bundling the surrounding workflow: team spaces, 3D blocking and presentations. Testimonials on the site come largely from Middle Eastern practices, and Arabic support is mentioned, which may matter for regional teams. Buyers who only need a single render engine may find the suite larger than necessary, while studios wanting one environment from napkin sketch to client deck get a fairly complete package.
