## The shift from real-time rendering  
to AI-native workflows

Traditional tools (e.g. Enscape)

-   Built around hardware performance 
-   Slower iteration cycles 
-   Manual scene adjustments 
-   Per-seat licensing models 

Gendo (AI-native)

-   Cloud-powered rendering 
-   Instant iteration via prompts 
-   No hardware dependency 
-   Built for speed and exploration
