qbiq unveils agentic AI tool for real-time commercial space planning

Architect Reviewing Workplace Floor Plan

Israel-based qbiq, a provider of AI planning technology for commercial real estate, has unveiled Agentic SpacePlan, which lets architects develop and revise floor plans in real time.

Architects can issue written instructions or adjust a plan using direct spatial controls. The AI agent acts on those instructions rather than merely recommending changes.

Users can test configurations, assess their effects and compare options while working on a plan. The system also records the requirements and decisions for each version.

qbiq invites selected architects, interior designers and design-and-build professionals to request early access. The product is not yet generally available.

AI modifies floor plans in real time

Planning a commercial floor requires decisions about daylight, furniture, movement through the building, and the balance between different types of space. Altering one requirement can affect the capacity and organisation of the wider layout.

Agentic SpacePlan works with the lines and boundaries that define the floor plan. It can generate circulation routes, assign functions to spaces, and divide or combine zones. Circulation includes corridors, entrances, and other areas people move through.

The tool can also generate room schedules listing the spaces in a plan, along with information such as their function and area.

Architects can compare layouts by capacity, area allocation and space efficiency. The platform’s analyses and reports show how each option meets the client’s requirements.

These controls distinguish Agentic SpacePlan from qbiq’s established planning service. In the earlier workflow, users entered details such as room types, capacities, dimensions and preferred locations before submitting a project. The platform then generated three two-dimensional layout options and a three-dimensional virtual tour within 24 hours.

The new product complements the service by giving architects direct control over the planning process.

Design Threads retain planning decisions

A feature called Design Threads maintains a history of design discussions, alternative layouts and saved plan versions. Architects can return to an earlier scheme, pursue another option or review the decisions behind the current layout.

Project documents remain linked to the design version that generated them.

Dr Eyal Nir, Chief Innovation Officer at qbiq, compared the approach to building information modelling (BIM), a digital process for creating and managing information about a building throughout its design, construction and operation.

Nir said BIM captured building information, while Agentic SpacePlan was intended to retain design intent. This explains why a layout was chosen, which requirements influenced that choice, and what alternatives were considered.

Product extends qbiq’s planning platform

qbiq’s existing platform produces floor plans, three-dimensional visualisations, architectural programmes, quantity estimates and digital design files.

An architectural programme specifies the types, sizes and uses of spaces required for a project. The platform can also estimate material quantities and produce files for Revit, Autodesk’s BIM software, and other computer-aided design applications.

When qbiq announced a $16 million Series A funding round in January 2025, it said users had generated designs covering more than 400 million square feet on the platform. Insight Partners led the round, with JLL Spark, 10D, Ocean Azul, Random Forest and M-Fund also participating.

qbiq’s earlier platform has also been used in commercial property leasing. In a company-published case study, Czech property operator CM-N said it used the software to prepare layouts and three-dimensional tours for prospective tenants across a portfolio of 15 buildings.

CM-N reported that the process was seven times faster than its previous method and that its leasing closure rate had improved by 25%. CM-N provided the figures for the case study published by qbiq. The results have not been independently verified.

Agent draws on architect-verified designs

Agentic SpacePlan uses what qbiq calls Space Intelligence, a proprietary combination of commercial planning data and architectural knowledge.

qbiq says the agent draws on anonymised data from tens of thousands of architect-verified designs and from hundreds of thousands of rooms, while architects remain involved in reviewing its output.

Ronit Amitay, qbiq’s Chief Product and Technology Officer, said the specialised planning data differentiates the system from general-purpose AI models. She added that the product was intended to reduce repeated instructions, design revisions and unnecessary spending on AI tools. qbiq reports that its technology is used in more than 100 countries and is approaching one billion square feet of commercial space planned using AI.
