It looks like AI is taking over jobs in yet another industry: virtual staging. It used to be that real estate agents would hire agencies like Box Brownie Virtual Staging to add virtual furniture to vacant properties, giving them more appeal. This can normally lead to more buyer engagement, thus justifying the $15-20 cost per image. But now, thanks to AI, we have a cheaper, faster option.
Virtual Staging AI is the world's first virtual staging software powered by artificial intelligence, developed at Harvard Innovation Labs. Starting at only $15/month, you can virtually stage 12 images. That’s cheaper than what most agencies charge for a single image. Thanks to their advanced artificial intelligence, you get your virtually staged pictures within 30 seconds. No more waiting 24-48 hours for designers. No need to write detailed instructions for designers anymore. Just upload your pictures, choose the room type and style, and the AI automatically adds beautiful, realistic-looking furniture.
So how does it work?
- Upload your picture: Upload a picture of an empty room and choose the room type and style. They currently support staging living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, dining rooms, home offices, and closets.
- AI Magic: Within 30 seconds, their artificial intelligence processes the image, understanding its dimensions and style, then adds beautiful, realistic-looking furniture.
- Download and use anywhere: Once the processing is completed, you instantly receive your staged photo.
At the moment, they only support living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, kitchens, home offices, and closets, but they are adding more room types in the coming weeks. They also plan on adding the ability to remove furniture from rooms or add new furniture in rooms with existing furniture in the near future.
If you’re a real estate agent who does a lot of virtual staging or an agency looking to streamline your process, the pricing of their service is pretty cost-effective.
