AI intake for architecture firms

Porto learns the building type, the site, the budget and the timeline, so your principals know which inquiries fit the studio.

Lindell Architects

AI assistant

Hi, I’m the AI assistant for Lindell Architects. What are you hoping to design?

A modern home on a hillside lot we bought last spring. About 3,500 square feet.

Site and size already covered

So it moves on to budget

Thank you. Do you have a construction budget in mind, and have you spoken with a builder yet?

What Porto does for architecture firms

Porto replaces the project inquiry form on an architecture firm’s website with a short AI conversation. It learns the building type, the site, the size, the budget and the timeline, and sends your principals a brief before the first meeting.

What Porto works out in the conversation

These are the topics, not a script. Porto asks only what it still needs, so a visitor who mentions their timeline in the first message never hears that question.

Project

New home, addition, commercial or civic building

Site

Ownership, zoning and site conditions

Size

Square footage and the spaces they need

Budget

Construction budget and how firm it is

Timeline

When they hope to break ground

The brief your team gets

Every conversation ends with a one page summary and a fit score, sent to the tools you connect. Your team reads it before the first call.

Questions from architecture firms

Can Porto quote design fees?

No. It collects the project details and leaves fees to your principals.

Does it give design or code advice?

No. Porto collects details only and leaves professional questions to your team.

What about very small projects?

You decide what fits the studio. Porto lets smaller inquiries know kindly and can point them elsewhere.
