LookX AI

LookX AI is an architectural design platform for generating and refining visuals, with plugins for SketchUp and Rhino. It suits architecture, interior and landscape designers who want field-focused AI tools in their workflow. The free tier is a sensible starting point; teams needing shared storage and model controls face a substantially higher monthly price.

Overview

LookX focuses its proprietary AI models on architectural design, with sketch input and image-to-image workflows as well as Gen4 image creation and chat. Gen4 image generation produces 1K output, a useful constraint to weigh if generated images need to serve as high-resolution final assets. LookX says its architectural model draws on more than 10,000,000 training data items and over 10,000 hours of GPU training.

The Intellectual Property Infringement Assistant compares image similarity to help assess copyright risks. That makes it a potentially useful checkpoint for professional workflows, but similarity assessment is not a guarantee of rights clearance.

Key features

LookX lists real-time and video generation, custom model training, style adapters, image upscaling, one-click duplication, vocabulary templates and a prompt assistant. Together, these tools cover both visual generation and refinement; the breadth is more compelling for iterative design work than for users who only need a basic image generator.

Plugins for SketchUp and Rhino connect the service to two established design tools. Team Work adds secured cloud storage for centralized project files, real-time sharing and access to project assets. Team Models Sharing & Protection adds shared, customizable models, cloud use and a Private Model Agora with restricted access and advanced security. These capabilities are aimed at collaborative practices rather than solo users.

LookX supports public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud and on-premises deployment. Custom solutions add private cloud and API access alongside advanced security and compliance. Team customers can also receive video tutorials, enterprise training, consulting and human customer service. LookX says no coding is needed and that its interface is designed for designers across skill levels.

Pricing

The free Basic plan costs nothing and includes 100 images, with generation, training and other tasks running in the normal lane. It is a low-risk way to explore the workflow, but the image cap and slower lane make it a limited fit for regular production.

Monthly subscription costs $20 a month, billed per month. It provides unlimited image generations, 580 per month for model training, upscale and advanced features, and Lightning Lane. Annual subscription costs $199 a year, billed per year, with the same allowances and a stated 17% saving. The annual option suits people committed to a full year; monthly billing costs more over a year but avoids that commitment.

Team costs $269 a month, billed per month, and includes 5 seats, 3000 per month shared X-credits, unlimited image generations, Super Lightning Lane, a team cloud drive and team models agora. That package is built for a small collaborative group; it is a steep jump from individual pricing if the team storage and model-sharing features are not needed.

Custom solutions use custom pricing and offer custom credit amounts, model customizations, advanced security and compliance, enterprise-wide support, private cloud and API. The Education Plan has custom pricing and includes educational discounts, course-aligned customization, faculty and student training, technical support and collaborative assessment. Its terms make it relevant to institutions, while the individual plans are clearer choices for solo users and small teams.

Platforms

LookX is available on the web, with plugins for SketchUp and Rhino. Its range of cloud and on-premises deployment options gives organizations deployment choices beyond the web service alone.

Who it's for

LookX is strongest for architecture, interior and landscape professionals who want AI image workflows connected to design software, and for teams that will use shared assets or custom models. The free plan can suit occasional exploration. Users who need generated output above the stated 1K level, or solo users who do not need team capabilities, should weigh those limits and the cost of upgrading before choosing it.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Architecture-focused models and sketch and image-to-image workflows target relevant design tasks.
• Pros: SketchUp and Rhino plugins connect LookX with design tools, while team storage and model sharing support collaboration.
• Pros: The free plan allows 100 images, and paid individual plans include unlimited image generations.
• Cons: Gen4 image output is described as 1K, which may not meet high-resolution needs.
• Cons: Team costs $269 a month for 5 seats, making collaboration features a costly step up from individual use.
• Cons: The free plan's 100-image allowance and normal lane can constrain sustained or time-sensitive work.

Verdict

Choose LookX AI if you work in architecture, interiors or landscape design and want architectural image generation alongside SketchUp or Rhino, with team storage and model controls available as your needs grow. Its focused workflows and multiple deployment options are the main reasons to choose it. Look elsewhere if 1K image output is not enough, or if you need team features without the $269 a month commitment.
