Space planning at the speed of your workplace

Managing workplace maps and space planning has traditionally been slow, manual, and difficult to keep up to date. As teams reconfigure offices, manage moves, and adapt layouts more frequently, maintaining accurate workplace maps has become a major operational challenge.

Robin’s latest releases are focused on making map management and space planning faster and easier to maintain — from generating maps directly from CAD files to editing layouts directly inside Robin. These updates are part of a broader investment in helping teams manage workplace changes with less manual work and greater flexibility.

To learn more about Robin’s approach to space planning and move management, watch this walkthrough.


Upload CAD files to create workplace maps in seconds

Building workplace maps has historically meant manual work, external software, and a lot of starting over.

Now teams can import .dxf files directly into Robin's CAD uploader and generate maps in seconds. Robin automatically detects relevant layers, so admins can choose what to include, like walls and structural elements, before finalizing the map.

What used to take days takes minutes. It's a fundamental shift in how workplace maps get built, and a much lower barrier to keeping them current.

Try it out: Upload a CAD file when creating a new floor to quickly generate a map in Robin.

Edit maps directly in Robin with the new map editor

Keeping a map accurate as your workplace changes has been just as painful as building one.

The new map editor changes that. Admins can adjust walls, refine layouts, and clean up imported files directly in Robin, no external software required. And when bigger changes happen, new CAD files can be uploaded onto existing maps while keeping desks, spaces, and resources in place, so nothing has to be rebuilt from scratch.

Try it out: Use the map editor to refine layouts and keep your workplace maps up to date. Contact your CSM or support@robinpowered.com to learn more.


Connect Robin's visitor management with your existing workplace systems

Many workplaces rely on multiple systems to manage visitors, from lobby kiosks to badge access and internal apps. The new Visitor API gives teams more flexibility in how those systems connect with Robin.

Customers can now send guest lists to lobby systems ahead of visits, check visitors in from third-party tools while triggering Robin notifications in real time, and automate temporary badge access through security platforms.

The Visitor API also makes it possible to build custom visitor workflows directly into internal workplace apps, creating a more connected experience for employees, front desk teams, and guests.

Meet Robin’s user agent

Robin’s user agent is a new, natural language way for employees to plan their week and manage workplace bookings. It will be released to customers throughout May 2026.

From a single prompt, users can book desks and parking, fill in missing reservations, and find space for meetings—reducing the back-and-forth typically required to coordinate time in the office.

The experience will be available first on the Robin mobile app, with broader access coming soon.

Next steps: Reach out to your Customer Success Manager or contact success@robinpowered.com to request early access.


What else is new in Robin?

  • More flexible permissions for custom resources: Parking, lockers, and other resources can now follow desk-level permissions. This makes it easier to control access across buildings, floors, or specific areas without manually configuring each resource.
  • Clearer booking confirmations for delegates: Confirmation messages now show who made a reservation and who it impacts, helping reduce confusion when booking on behalf of others.
  • Delegate check-in support: Delegates can now check users in on behalf of others again, making it easier for EAs and admins to manage reservations end-to-end.
