We plan to add a smart furnishing feature very soon. Planner 5D takes a problem that everyone has and makes the solution dramatically more affordable.įor instance, the average architect costs for a homeowner are between $2,000 and $8,300 in the U.S.Īny other features coming to the service in the near future?
And the popularity of Planner 5D means we have lots of data.Īny advice for up-and-coming entrepreneurs or funding tips? The great thing about AI is that the more data we have, the better our AI offerings get. We launched an AI R&D department in 2016, as we plan to apply AI to home planning, robotics, scene-understanding, and more. What challenges did you face with the new feature? Is working with AI difficult?ĭeveloping AI isn’t easy, but we’ve put in the work. Put simply, users can now upload a floor plan to the app and the platform will recognize walls, objects, doors, and windows, then create an interactive 3D floor plan to be used and customized within the system. Yes, we are super excited about our new AI-driven floor plan recognition feature. You have a new feature coming out, right? One that use AI to build out floor plans? Want to expand on that a bit? While we were working on B2C model, time passed and we came back to B2B with bigger awareness, knowledge, and experience and finally made it work for us, as well.Īlso, we've made a lot of marketing mistakes as we've grown, which is something to always consider when growing your product or service. Couldn't find right the way of monetization with B2C and couldn't find strong B2B partners and so on.Įventually, we focused on B2C only, worked a lot on A/B testing and found the first strong revenue channel. Tried to do B2C and B2B at the same time. We made lots of experiments with different business models, but none worked. We wanted to start earning money as soon as possible, but it was very hard to do. What type of hardships did you and your team encounter during the early days of Planner 5D?
#PLANNER 5D HOME DESIGN APP PROFESSIONAL#
Our app makes realistic renderings of user designs, complete with shadows, physical lighting, and reflections, like a professional but for a sliver of the price. So, we built the first version of Planner 5D. The ones tailored toward amateurs were insufficient, while the ones for professionals were confusing. We each had a vision for a unique interior for our respective spaces, but couldn’t find any tools that matched our visions and skills. I bought an apartment with plans to renovate it, while Sergey bought a piece of land on which he planned to build a house. Planner 5D came about because Sergey and I were both encountering home planning difficulties. What was the inspiration behind the project? Already, we have over 40 million users who have designed over 80 million projects. Planner 5D looks and works like the Sims, but for real life, and for designing your dream home.īasically, it’s an easy-to-use 3D home design tool that lets anyone, without any technical skills, fully customize their homes-everything from wall colors to flooring materials to room dimensions.īut it’s also quite cutting-edge, in that it applies AI, VR, and AR to that end.
In just a few sentences, what is Planner 5D? Then, I founded Planned 5D with my friend Sergey Nosyrev in 2011. I was also the Head of UI/UX at Oversun Scalaxy, the first Russian cloud hosting provider a UI designer at ABBYY and the Art Director of Virtual Space, a web studio. I began my career working as a web and graphic designer and, during university, founded my own design studio. We had the chance to discuss the hardships of starting a business, the inspiration behind the company, and features that make the app feel more like a game of The Sims than that of a home design tool.Ĭare to introduce yourself and your role at Planner 5D? I'm currently in the process of buying a house and have gone through my fair share of apps only to be generally disappointed with the experience.ĭuring this time, I actually had to the chance to talk with Alexey Sheremetyev of Planner 5D, an app that brings VR and AI into home design, to learn more about his home design tools that are available Web, iOS, and more. It doesn't take long after downloading one to realize if it's going to be a dud or not due to paywalls, but it's also surprising just how poorly some of them are laid out. There's an app for seemingly everything these days, but a lot of the time it requires wading through lots of poorly-designed or ad-heavy apps to find one that fits your needs.
