Getting started
Foveate is a workspace for AEC, creative, and pursuit teams to draft, build, and share client-facing work — projects (section-based data rooms), decks, interactive 3D previs, walkthroughs, and intake forms — from a single place.
The home composer
The home screen is built around one composer: a single prompt where you can ask a question, draft something, or kick off a build without choosing a tool first. Type what you want ("create a kickoff deck for the Aria Hotel project", "summarize the responses to my intake form", "what's on track this week") and Foveate routes it to the right place.
You can attach files, scope the prompt to a specific project, and pick a product mode from the composer's inline pills.
The core surfaces
- Projects — the section builder and virtual data room for a client engagement. Everything you make (decks, previs, walkthroughs, forms, files) can attach to a project.
- Decks — build and edit slide-based decks.
- Forms — build intake and feedback forms and read the responses.
- Previs — interactive 3D scenes.
- Walkthroughs — navigable 3D models and scans.
- AI Chat — the AI composer that turns a prompt into a plan and builds it.
- Insights — analytics on how your shared work is performing.
- Sharing & feedback — publish a link, collect feedback, and track engagement.
- Credits & billing — how AI credits and your plan work.
- Account & settings — profile, team, and appearance.
Light & dark mode
Foveate supports both light and dark mode. Toggle it from the theme control; your choice is remembered on your device.

Frequently asked questions
What is Foveate?
Foveate is interactive presentation and proposal software for architecture, engineering, construction (AEC), and design firms. Instead of emailing a static PDF or slide deck, a firm builds its pitch in Foveate — a project data room, decks, 3D walkthroughs, previs, and intake forms — and shares it as one browser link that reports which stakeholders engaged. The platform overview covers every part of it.
Who is Foveate for?
Foveate is built for architects and architecture firms, interior designers, experiential designers, creative agencies, design-build firms, and the marketing, business development, and pursuit teams that win work for them.
Do clients need an account or special software to view work shared from Foveate?
No. Clients open work shared from Foveate as a web link in their browser, with no install, plugin, or account required. A share link can optionally ask for the viewer's name and email first — see Sharing & feedback.
Is Foveate a rendering engine?
No. Foveate is not a rendering engine: firms create renderings and flythrough videos in tools like Enscape, Twinmotion, D5 Render, or Lumion, then present, share, and track that work in Foveate alongside navigable 3D models.
How is an interactive proposal different from a PDF proposal?
An interactive proposal in Foveate is a live web page rather than a file: it can hold 3D walkthroughs, video, and every supporting document in one place, it can be updated after it's sent, and it shows who opened it and what they spent time on. foveate.com's guide to interactive proposals explains the difference in depth.
