The Automatic Mode Revolution: Making AI Interior Design Effortless for Everyone
Interior design should inspire, not intimidate. Yet for many homeowners, the thought of redesigning a space feels overwhelming. Where do you start? What style suits your room? How do you translate those Pinterest dreams into reality? Today, we're thrilled to share a game-changing update that makes professional-quality interior design accessible to everyone: our enhanced Automatic Mode.
The Problem: Choice Paralysis in Design
Despite having powerful AI tools at their fingertips, many users found themselves stuck at the starting line. Our previous design modes—while comprehensive—required decisions that could feel daunting:
- Guided Mode asked users to specify exactly which furniture pieces to modify
- Custom Mode required crafting detailed design prompts
- Automatic Mode provided just one AI suggestion
The result? Many users, especially beginners, felt uncertain about which path to choose or how to articulate their vision. We realized we needed to flip the script: instead of asking users to guide the AI, why not let the AI guide the user?
The Solution: AI That Thinks Before You Do
Our enhanced Automatic Mode now does the heavy lifting upfront. Here's how it works:
1. Intelligent Room Analysis
When you upload your room photo, our AI doesn't just identify furniture—it understands your space holistically:
- Room type and function
- Existing style elements
- Lighting conditions
- Spatial relationships
- Design opportunities
2. Tailored Style Curation
Instead of generic suggestions, our AI generates three distinct style approaches specifically for your room:
- Each recommendation considers your existing furniture and layout
- Styles focus on realistic transformations, not complete overhauls
- One option is marked as "recommended" based on what works best for your space
3. Room-Specific Transformation Focus
Gone are the generic "make this room modern" prompts. Our AI now creates targeted suggestions like:
- "Enhance the cozy farmhouse elements while adding sophisticated lighting"
- "Elevate the existing minimalist foundation with warm, organic textures"
- "Transform the traditional layout into a contemporary haven with strategic color placement"
The new Automatic Mode interface showing three AI-curated style recommendations tailored specifically to your room, with clear descriptions and a recommended option highlighted.
Making Automatic Mode the Star

The Magic Behind the Scenes
Our enhanced Automatic Mode leverages advanced AI analysis to understand not just what's in your room, but what it could become:
Smart Object Recognition: The AI identifies every piece of furniture, decor item, and architectural feature, understanding how they work together.
Style DNA Analysis: By analyzing your existing choices, the AI infers your style preferences and comfort level with change.
Contextual Recommendations: Each style suggestion includes specific reasoning: "This bohemian approach works well with your existing plant collection and natural lighting."
