Company

We're building the AI layer that architecture practices have always needed.

What we're doing

BIM Monkey is the firm-specific intelligence layer for AEC. We connect to Revit through Banana Chat — an AI assistant that doesn't just know the software, it learns how your firm uses it. Every correction your team makes, every permit set you upload, every project you complete — it builds a picture of how your practice actually draws.

The result is a platform that gets more accurate with every project, carries institutional knowledge across your team, and produces output that sounds like your firm drew it — not like a generic AI did.

Why we built it

Documentation is where architect time goes to die. Placing sheets, stringing dimensions, flagging missing views — none of it requires a license, just the knowledge of what the firm wants and the patience to do it again and again. We built BIM Monkey to hold that knowledge permanently and execute it reliably, so the people with licenses can spend their time on the work that actually requires them.

How we're built

BIM Monkey runs as a Revit plugin connected to Claude Code on your machine. Model data stays local. What leaves is output — and that output feeds a three-layer intelligence stack: firm memory (corrections, drawing standards, workflow patterns), project context (running notes, model history), and the generation engine that draws on both. Every correction sharpens the next generation.

When a task falls outside the 700+ built-in methods, Banana Chat writes and compiles Revit API code on the spot. For platforms that want to connect directly, a Partner API is available — no Revit license required. Full documentation →

Where we fit

BIM Monkey is an AI-native application company, not a model company. We build on top of foundation models — the same way software has always been built on top of infrastructure it didn't invent. The model layer is someone else's business. The application layer — the firm-specific knowledge, the Revit integration, the workflow that makes AI output useful to a licensed architect on a real project — is ours.

That distinction matters. Model companies compete on capability and compute. Application companies compete on workflow fit, switching cost, and how deeply the product is embedded in how a team actually works. A firm that has trained BIM Monkey on two years of permit sets has built something that doesn't exist anywhere else. That's the business we're building.

Team

We're a small team with backgrounds in architecture, corporate finance, and product development. We've spent time on both sides of what makes a software company work — in practice understanding how construction documents actually get produced, and in business understanding how platforms get built, financed, and scaled. That combination shapes how we think about BIM Monkey.
