A MESSAGE FROM OFFICESPACE CMO KAREN BUCKS
The built world is in transition, but full of opportunity

WHAT REAL CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Real talk from real users
AI Canvas is built on the patented technology of Dojo AI, a trusted AI space planning platform for enterprise teams.
"Dojo is a game-changer! Its intuitive interface makes managing space a breeze. I love how customizable it is, allowing me to create detailed layouts effortlessly. The software's efficiency and accuracy have saved me countless hours. I highly recommend Dojo for anyone looking to manage their space effectively."
Assistant Commissioner of Administrative Services
The City of New York
"Using Dojo has made seating arrangements in our two offices significantly easier. It’s seamless creating a seating chart and moving folks around, easily seeing how to seat people near their teams. I love that I can make multiple seating charts to test different arrangements and that moving people around is just a couple clicks."
Manager, Admin & Special Projects, Finance & Operations
Brennan Center for Justice
“The Dojo platform helped us use objective criteria and data to make a variety of space planning decisions and visualizations. Dojo didn't make decisions based on emotions, politics, or preconceived notions (that might be wholly incorrect) but rather through data-driven analytics.”
Dino Fusco, Chief Operating Officer
