The advent of Computer Aided Design CAD tools around mid-1960 was evolutionary in nature. CAD software features evolved slowly and they emerged as enabling and productivity tools. CAD tools did not eliminate jobs but enriched the productivity and output of draftsmen, designers, and engineers. It facilitated the merger of roles of draftsmen, designers, and engineers by enhancing and complementing their competencies. Artificial Intelligence (AI) deals with intelligence demonstrated by computers and it is as old as CAD tools. AI as a discipline over the years had many fits and starts based on the commercial successes of products and solutions. AI experienced a severe lack of funding for many years. However, in the last two decades, AI research has been based on highly mathematical and statistical machine learning. This approach has proved highly successful and created many sophisticated solutions to solve the problems of the industry. AI is emerging as a disruptive technology that can alter the way we do things and the way business is conducted. It encompasses all intellectual tasks. AI techniques are pervasive and CAD tools are no exception. Slowly AI tools and techniques are getting integrated into CAD tools. Generative Design, Design Assistants are AI-based tools that are incorporated into CAD tools. AI tools are fast making inroads into visual arts and it will have an impact on future designs. AI tools use a data-driven approach and give design recommendations to designers based on extensive information on design trends, user preferences, and space configurations. Large Language Model- Generative pre-trained Transformer tool (ChatGPT) has the ability to produce human-like text and has the potential use for architects to communicate and collaborate with all stakeholders to produce their designs Today AI tools are available for creating floor plans, home styles, and décor. Creating visual narration for clients using Virtual reality and augmented reality. This paper attempts to study and document the key features of AI-based design tools and present samples of work done on these tools. The scope of work is not exhaustive. Work is focused on popular and readily available tools.
