New intermediate representation aids autonomous agents in building design

Researchers have developed KIR, a typed intermediate representation designed for autonomous agents authoring building information models. KIR organizes building creation as a program within a versioned repository, addressing common failure modes in agent-driven design processes. Initial offline experiments with KIR demonstrated significant success in identifying and diagnosing errors in agent-authored programs, with a notable reduction in uncaught exceptions and identification of unwitnessable obligations when targeting Autodesk Revit.

    A Building as a Repository: KIR, a Typed Intermediate Representation for Agent-Authored Building Information Models

    arXiv:2609.14578v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous agents that author building information models need more than access to a host API. They need a representation of what they intended, what a compiler decided on their behalf, what was refused, what was observed after exec…
