VergeSense and laiout Partner to Pair Predictive Planning with AI-Generated Workplace Design

Together, VergeSense and laiout are setting out to connect how space is used today with the generative redesign that reflects how people actually work, moving from occupancy evidence to optimized floor plan in a single, AI-powered workflow.

We’re excited to announce a partnership with laiout, the only platform that generates office floor plans in seconds using AI. Together, we are setting out to connect occupancy intelligence with generative space design, giving corporate real estate, workplace, and design teams a faster, more defensible path from data to decision to drawing.

The partnership charts a shared direction of travel: a future where a Predictive Planning scenario from VergeSense, grounded in real-world behavioral data, flows directly into laiout to generate fully designed, code-aware floor plans that reflect that behavior. What used to take weeks of consultant cycles can now happen in a single session.

The Problem This Solves

Workplace and real estate leaders are making higher stakes decisions on shorter timelines than ever before. Lease expirations, RTO mandates, M&A activity, and hybrid policy shifts are forcing teams to answer questions like "do we consolidate?", "do we redesign?", and "what would the new floor actually look like?" in weeks, not quarters.

The traditional path has been slow and disconnected. Occupancy data lives in disparate systems. Planning happens in spreadsheets. Test fits go to architects and come back weeks later, often based on static assumptions that don't reflect how people actually use the space. By the time a design is in front of leadership, the behavioral context behind it is months old.

Together, VergeSense and laiout are working to collapse that timeline. The shared vision is a path that takes teams from behavioral signal, to predictive scenario, to a tangible, regulation-aware design, in a fraction of the time and cost of the traditional consulting cycle.

What Each Platform Brings

The partnership pairs two capabilities that each remove guesswork from their half of the workplace planning process:

• Plan based on your employees' unique behavioral patterns, not assumptions. VergeSense Predictive Planning is powered by a proprietary Large Spatial Model to simulate how people will actually use space across thousands of plausible workdays, surfacing capacity breakpoints, hidden bottlenecks, and the right mix of space types for a given workforce.
• Generate buildable design in seconds, not weeks. Give laiout your floor plan and brief. Within seconds, you have multiple layout options, fully interactive, with capacity, cost and carbon metrics updating live as you refine the design. Generate 3D models and photorealistic visuals at the click of a button, then export everything in the format your team needs.
• Iterate live with stakeholders. Teams can freeze the parts of a layout that work, regenerate alternatives for the parts that don't, and share interactive plans with leadership and tenants without waiting on external CAD support.
• Make defensible decisions, faster. Layout options are anchored in observed behavior on the VergeSense side and in code awareness and engineering reality on the laiout side, giving teams a credible answer for both "will this perform?" and "can we actually build it?"

The shared goal is a decision support workflow that helps corporate real estate teams move from "we think we need to redesign this floor" to "here are behaviorally validated, code-aware options we can take to the executive team" in a fraction of the time and cost of the traditional consulting cycle.

The Power Behind Each Platform

At the core of VergeSense's contribution is the Large Spatial Model, the industry's largest behavioral benchmark of how enterprise workplaces are actually used, trained on more than eight years of real-world workplace behavior across 250+ million square feet. Customers using VergeSense Predictive Planning have applied the model to right-size portfolios, redesign offices, and avoid millions in unnecessary real estate spend, including more than $60M in lease avoidance for one Fortune 500 company.

laiout brings the other half of the equation: a generative design platform purpose-built for commercial office space, used to generate layouts across hundreds of millions of square feet in 45+ countries. It produces options in seconds, regulation-aware in a number of countries around the world, with photorealistic 3D rendering, integrated engineering checks, with a range of exportable outputs to suit your needs.

What previously required four to twelve weeks of architectural test-fit work can happen in a single working session.

Together, the two platforms set out to close a long-standing gap in workplace decision-making: the disconnect between the data that proves a space isn't working and the design that actually fixes it.

Shaping the Future of Workplace Decision-Making

The VergeSense and laiout partnership reflects a broader shift in how enterprises are approaching workplace decisions: away from one-off consulting engagements and static benchmarks, and toward connected, AI-powered systems that let teams make faster, more defensible calls on the spaces their people will actually use.

As organizations continue navigating portfolio consolidation, hybrid work evolution, and rising pressure to justify real estate spend, this partnership points toward giving real estate, workplace, and design leaders the decision confidence they need, backed by the largest behavioral spatial dataset in the industry and a generative design platform built for commercial office space.
