Yes, the concern is mainly the cost. Running this AI model is expensive, and unfortunately creating an account with a real email is indeed the most effective way to prevent abuse. In an ideal world where everyone plays fair, I’d let anyone try it directly from the landing page, but that's not the reality.

There is no credit card required btw, I should probably make that clearer on the landing page.

I don’t know that I understand the value of this. The examples show structural elements like doors and windows being changed. To be of any use it would need to know what in the input image is impossible or impractical to change, and keep those things exactly identical in the output. Otherwise it’s like looking at a somewhat similar room, and then you might as well just go look for actual photographic inspiration, or use any image generator to create an image from scratch.

Is there a ground truth photo? It looks like the images here are all AI generated, which seems an odd choice if you're targeting real estate where (I'd hope) there's value in having the generated image accurately reflect the actual room. That it appears to freely change the room layout (doors and hallways imagined into the corner of a few rooms, dimensions don't appear super consistent) may imply my assumptions are w…

Thanks for the feedback! You're right, I should include the ground truth. The model is still inconsistent with layouts, and I'm working on improving this to reduce those layout issues. At the moment, I see it primarily as a source of inspiration (mainly B2C), but as it improves it could evolve into a more B2B tool for interior architects for example.

Yes, a design is an image. Right now, I offer only 5 images, but that might not be enough for a proper trial. I may increase it if people are asking for more credits.

I see a lot of negative comments. Want to leave a positive one. The site worked fine for me and the process was pretty straight forward.

Image generation took a bit (currently waiting, will keep writing once it finishes). I sent 3 images to generate, and even though the site said "images will be in the "generated" section even after you reload. Once I reloaded there was nothing anywhere, and no sign of the 3 images I sent. I tried re-generating again and the site told me that I only had 2 credits left; so I sent to generate 1. At the end, it only generated 1 image.

It feels as if the generator "shrunk" the size of a wall and added some doors in place of a wall. Other than that I like the design.

Yes, these random layout glitches can occur with certain styles. I’m working on improving this. It's currently just an MVP, and I’m gauging interest before investing more time into it.

Sorry about that, there may still be some bugs to fix since it's an MVP... Normally, all your images should be saved in the 'generation' section, aren't they there? Also do not hesitate to send an email to paul.chauvin@home-imagine.com to ask for more credits. Thanks a lot for your feedback!
