Architects are under more pressure than ever to deliver projects faster, with fewer resources, and tighter margins. Yet much of their time is still spent repeating work, hunting for old files, or redrawing details they know they’ve already drawn before. This episode dives into how AI can help architects work smarter—not harder—by unlocking the power of their past work.

In this episode, Rion reconnects with Natalia Bakaeva from ARKI and you'll hear how she is tackling everything from tedious workflows to profitability—without disrupting how firms already operate.

Natalia shares how practices are turning their past work into a searchable database that actually helps them move faster. They explore how ARKI might evolve into a second brain for your firm—one that remembers everything and makes drawing easier, smarter, and even more profitable.

Listen to learn:

• The hidden cost of “reinventing the wheel” in every project—and how to stop it
• What one firm did to slash production time by 50% using their own archive
• Why ARKI might be the missing link between your creative ideas and your business goals
