Interior AI
Present interior concepts without modelling furniture.
Upload a photo of any room or empty space. Choose a design language: Japandi, Brutalist, Biophilic, Modern Luxury. Gaia stages and transforms it in seconds. Use it for studio presentations, thesis boards, or to explore design directions before committing.
Try Interior AIResearch Mode
A research assistant that actually knows architecture.
Ask Gaia about precedents, building codes, material properties, or typological strategies. It researches, summarises, and logs everything to your Knowledge Graph. A well-read tutor available at 2 am before a crit.

Why students use Gaia.
Portfolio renders in minutes, not days.
Stop waiting for V-Ray to finish overnight. Upload your model screenshots and get portfolio-quality renders instantly. Iterate on materials, lighting, and atmosphere until it is exactly right.
Studio crits with visual arguments.
Show up to reviews with rendered concepts instead of explaining what you imagined. Generate 5 directions from the same sketch and let the work speak. Tutors notice the difference.
Thesis research on your schedule.
Use Research Mode to explore building codes, precedent studies, material strategies, and design theory. Everything is cited and logged. Build your thesis argument with evidence, not just intuition.
