How to Use XAVIA for Instant AV Room Designs: From Conference to Classroom

Designing AV rooms — from simple conference setups to complex educational environments — has historically been a manual, time-intensive, and fragmented process. Traditional tools like AutoCAD, Excel, and InDesign have served their purpose, but they lack scalability, flexibility, and intelligence.

Today, with the evolution of AI and the increasing complexity of AV deployments, professionals need real-time intelligence, automation, and precision. That’s where XAVIA — XTEN-AV’s industry-first AI agent for AV professionals — comes in.

Whether you’re designing a huddle room, a corporate boardroom, a Zoom-enabled classroom, or an auditorium, XAVIA delivers instant, AI-generated AV room designs — simply through voice or chat.

This article explores how AV professionals, consultants, and integrators can leverage XAVIA for AV Room Designs to save hours, reduce design errors, and improve project delivery.

Let’s explore how to turn spoken ideas into finished room designs — instantly.

The Traditional AV Room Design Workflow – Slow, Manual, and Error-Prone

Legacy Tools and Their Limitations

Designing an AV room involves:

CAD/Visio for drawing

Spreadsheets for the BOM

Emails for collaboration

PDFs for deliverables

While these tools are functional, they’re disconnected and heavily reliant on human effort.

The Key Challenges

Time-Consuming – An average conference room design can take 6–12 hours to complete.

Requires Technical Expertise – CAD and engineering knowledge are prerequisites.

No Dynamic BOM Integration – Manual entry leads to pricing and quantity mismatches.

Lack of Real-Time Intelligence – No suggestions, no cost optimizations, no margin visibility.

Difficult to Scale – Each new room type or site requires repeating the process from scratch.

What Is XAVIA and How It Reinvents AV Room Design

The AV industry has long relied on CAD tools, product spec sheets, and email chains to create room designs that are functional, scalable, and client-ready. This traditional method — while effective in its time — no longer meets the demands of a fast-paced, cloud-first, hybrid-working world.

Enter XAVIA: the first-ever AI assistant built specifically for the AV industry, designed by XTEN-AV.

🧠 What Is XAVIA?

XAVIA is a voice- and chat-powered AI platform that transforms how AV professionals design, quote, and manage rooms. Rather than manually drawing layouts or building BOMs, users simply speak their room requirements, and XAVIA produces:

Intelligent AV schematics

2D/3D room layouts

Signal flow diagrams

BOMs with real-time dealer pricing

Client-ready proposals

All in seconds, not hours.

🚀 How XAVIA Disrupts the AV Design Workflow

Voice-Driven Input

Instead of starting in AutoCAD or Visio, users initiate projects with natural language prompts like:

“Design a training room for 30 people with dual 85-inch displays, wireless mics, and a DSP.”

AI-Powered Room Intelligence

XAVIA leverages a trained AV design model, built on millions of data points and industry best practices. It understands AV categories, acoustic considerations, cable routing logic, and brand compatibility.

No Manual Drawing

Forget block diagrams and signal path sketching. XAVIA auto-generates:

Rack elevations

Ceiling speaker placements

Touch panel locations

Camera zones

Cable pathways

Real-Time Design Feedback

XAVIA instantly checks for:

Equipment compatibility

Network load balance

Power and heat distribution

Room dimensions vs. AV requirements

Integrated AV Proposal Sync

Since XAVIA is part of a larger AV system integration software platform, it automatically connects the design to:

Dealer pricing

Proposal templates

Project timelines

Reporting tools

No More Redundant Workflows

You don’t need to copy and paste from Excel to Word to CAD to PDF. XAVIA manages the entire lifecycle from voice prompt to client sign-off.

Step-by-Step – How to Use XAVIA for Instant Room Design

Let’s break down the complete AV room design process using XAVIA — from first voice prompt to final export — and explore how this revolutionizes your design speed and output.

Step 1: Start with a Voice or Chat Command

Unlike traditional tools that require project setup and template loading, XAVIA starts with a simple command:

💬 “Design a conference room for 12 participants with dual displays, ceiling mics, in-ceiling speakers, and a control touch panel.”

XAVIA’s AI engine interprets:

Room capacity

Functional requirements (presentation, conferencing)

Device types

Required connectivity

Environmental considerations

Step 2: XAVIA Auto-Selects Products and Equipment

XAVIA searches your connected database of over 1.5 million AV products and selects:

Display solutions (based on room size)

Audio DSPs (based on mic type and acoustic modeling)

Cameras (with PTZ, auto-framing, or fixed options)

Cabling & infrastructure

Mounting and control gear

It also considers dealer pricing, compatibility, and availability as it builds the room design.

Step 3: Generate Smart AV Schematics and Layouts

XAVIA automatically builds:

Line schematics

Signal flow diagrams

Rack layouts

2D/3D room drawings

Cable routing maps

These visuals are standards-compliant and can be exported to:

PDF for client viewing

DWG or DXF for engineering

Word format for proposal inclusion

Step 4: Review, Revise, or Customize in Real Time

XAVIA’s interface allows voice-driven editing. For example:

🗣 “Change the microphones to Sennheiser ceiling models.”

🗣 “Remove the HDMI wall plate and add a wireless sharing receiver.”

🗣 “Upgrade the display to 86-inch 4K Samsung.”

Each change dynamically updates the:

AV design

BOM

Cost estimation

Proposal content

Step 5: Instantly Generate a Proposal

With one command:

“Generate proposal for this training room.”

XAVIA creates:

Cover page with your branding

Project overview

Detailed BOM with dealer pricing

Scope of work

Terms and conditions

Suggested upsells or add-ons

Timeline overview

Export options include:

PDF

Word (editable)

Web link (interactive)

Step 6: Collaborate with Teams and Clients

XAVIA includes built-in chat and tagging features, allowing:

Designers to leave notes

Sales teams to request revisions

PMs to track approval status

Clients to review without requiring CAD access

You can tag users: “@John please confirm ceiling speaker brand.”

Every version is auto-saved, auditable, and reversible.

Step 7: Track Insights and Approvals

Once the design is accepted, XAVIA:

Logs the milestone in the project timeline

Adds the design to the centralized library

Begins proposal conversion tracking

Provides AI-Powered AV Project Insights on:

Total project cost

Expected margin

Room design efficiency

Reusability of the design across future rooms

🏁 From Idea to Output — In Minutes

With XAVIA, a process that once took:

4–10 hours of engineering time

3 different tools

Back-and-forth emails

Now takes:

5–15 minutes

One tool

Zero friction

Importance of XAVIA for AV Room Designs

1 Democratizing Design Creation

Junior sales engineers can create room layouts
