2024: Launch of a free neural network to generate interior designs. You can add any items by photo

In mid-July 2024, the French startup Presti announced the development of a specialized neural network designed to generate interiors. It is based on the Stable Diffusion XL model.

Presti's service uses generative artificial intelligence to integrate an image of an object, such as a sofa, coffee table or dresser, into a realistic interior. The developers say that different companies, primarily furniture manufacturers, have many difficulties in creating high-quality photos of their products in real life. This is a laborious process that requires significant costs of money and time: it is necessary to select a room, transport goods there, hire photographers, etc. Presti's AI tool fixes all these problems.

With Presti, you can place the product in any suitable environment. In addition, the service allows you to add accessories. For example, if images are generated for a new sofa, you can "put" pillows on it. Moreover, they will cast a realistic shadow on the upholstery. In the future, Presti is expected to change the texture and color of the material from which the furniture is made.

In the process of creating the service, the developers additionally trained the Stable Diffusion XL model on a set of 75 thousand images of ultra-high quality furniture. Thanks to this, the images generated by the neural network look as realistic as possible. Service link.

Startup Presti, according to the resource TechCrunch, raised funds in the amount of $3.5 million as part of the initial round of funding. This support program was led by technology investment company Partech. Several business angels also participated in the round. The funds will go to further product development.^[1]
