Apply Design
Helping homebuyers reimagine their home using AI
Apply Design helps homebuyer reimagine their new home using AI. We provide homebuyers access to a website that showcases their next home images augmented with hundreds of photorealistic interior designs, all size-accurate and curated by professional designers. These designs are created using real furniture from top brands. We help homebuyers see the potential of their next home and turn that into a reality. For example, when a young married couple with a baby visits the website we host, instead of seeing a dull property listing on Zillow with empty pictures or old furniture, the family sees realistic and personalized virtual interior designs – such as a home office and a baby room – which we automatically generate for them. They can then play with those designs and see how that home fits their needs and tastes and buy those furniture directly from Apply Design. This is a $20B market opportunity, given the 50M properties sold or rented annually in North America and Europe alone.

We entered the market with a product that allows anyone to create virtual realistic interior designs for empty property images automatically.
The Problem
An excellent online property listing can help you sell your property faster and for a higher price.
But property listing websites haven’t changed for the last 20 years and are very one-dimensional, although prospective buyers have different needs and tastes.
By using computer graphics and ML, Apply Design created a way to automatically create realistic virtual interior designs that enable the homeowner to easily create a website that showcases the home's potential in a way that is personalized to the buyer. A way that sells better than Zillow.
About Us
Yaniv Knoll and I are based in Tel Aviv and met in the IDF in a small intelligence unit specializing in 3D solutions for special operations. Our work was recognized with the highest intelligence award for 2015.
For the last 10 years, we’ve built 3D and computer vision-based solutions in military, HR, construction, and real estate.
The idea was born last year when my parents tried to sell the apartment that I grew up in. A month went by with no offers after the empty pictures sat on Zillow waiting for anyone to show interest, so I created a dedicated website showing how the home fits different family structures and purposes, using editable interior realistic designs for each room of the house. Within days of prospective buyers using our product, we went from no offers to three, and a 10% higher asking price than expected.
I want it! How do I try it?
In case you have or plan to publish a property listing (or if you just want to test it out, it's really fun! ), you can try our first product at applydesign.io, which allows you to upload an image and add realistic furniture to show the potential of your property.
The best part is that the first image is for free 💸!
If you do try it out, make sure to send me feedback about the experience and the potential you see.
If you know any realtors, property managers, or even friends and family who are about to sell or rent a property, please tell them about Apply Design. 🙂
Thanks!
