Built because rendering ate too many evenings
Sherpa is the AI render tool by AI-brouwerij, a studio in Amsterdam-Noord. We built it for the moment every architect and interior designer knows: the design is right, the meeting is tomorrow, and the image is still work material.
Why Sherpa exists
Sherpa grew out of visualisation practice: years of making images for architects and designers, and hearing the same question come back. Not "can it be more photorealistic", but "can I show something tomorrow morning that is right".
AI image models suddenly made that possible, but most AI tools solved the wrong problem. They generate a building from a text prompt, and that building is never quite yours. An architect does not want an image of "a living room", they want their living room, with the void in the right place and the window frame they moved three times.
So Sherpa works the other way around: image-to-image, from your own export or work render. No prompts, but controls. AEC Magazine called it "prompt-free AI rendering", and that is exactly the point: everything that would normally go into a prompt is a control here.
The name says the rest: a sherpa carries your gear up the mountain, but it stays your climb and your design.
What we believe
Your design is sacred
Sherpa strengthens what you drew and never invents a different building. What you leave open gets filled in, what you drew stays put.
Honest about what we are not
Sherpa does not promise photorealism and does not replace a render engine or visualisation studio. Our own comparison page literally tells you when to choose something else.
Privacy is not an afterthought
Your images are never used for AI training, you keep full ownership, files are deleted automatically after 30 days, and a GDPR data processing agreement is available on request.
