What it does

The Design Planner is a free AI chat tool that acts as your personal interior design consultant. It’s the starting point for any project — you describe what you want, the AI helps you think it through, and then generates a Design Brief that summarizes your goals and recommends the exact tools to achieve them.
The Design Planner is completely free — it does not use any credits. Use it as much as you want.

​
How it works

1

Open the Design Planner

Click Design Planner from your Dashboard.
2

Describe what you want

Have a conversation with the AI. Tell it about your room, your goals, your budget, your style preferences — in your own words, as casually or in as much detail as you like. Examples:
  • “I want to turn my bedroom into a calm, minimal retreat. Currently it feels cramped and cluttered.”
  • “Help me redesign my living room — I love Japandi but I’m not sure where to start or what to buy.”
  • “I want to repaint my walls but I don’t know what color works with my existing furniture.”
3

Generate your brief

Once you’ve explained what you want, type “generate brief” in the chat. The AI will:
  1. Auto-generate a Design Brief — a structured summary of your goals, style direction, priorities, and constraints
  2. Recommend the specific AIHDStudio tools that best match your project
  3. Prepare the relevant prompts and settings so you can jump straight into generation

Go directly to the recommended tool

From the brief, click any recommended tool. The AI Planner hands off your context — if the tool requires a prompt or style selection, it’s pre-filled based on your conversation. You skip the setup and go straight to generating.

​
The Design Brief

The brief is automatically generated from your conversation — you don’t fill in a form. It captures:
  • Room type and current state
  • Desired style and mood
  • Key priorities (e.g. more light, better layout, new color palette)
  • Constraints (budget, rental restrictions, existing pieces to keep)
  • Recommended tools with suggested actions for each
The brief lives in the sidebar and updates each time you trigger a new generation.
You can refine your brief by continuing the conversation and triggering “generate brief” again. The AI will update it based on the new context.

​
Tool handoff

After brief generation, the Planner recommends tools and can route you directly: For AI-generation tools, the planner pre-fills the prompt with your brief so you don’t have to re-describe your goals. For navigation-only tools (like the color picker), it routes you directly to the right screen.

What the AI can help with

​
Tips

  • Be specific about constraints: budget, rental restrictions, kids/pets, existing pieces you’re keeping
  • The AI remembers your full conversation — you can refer back to earlier suggestions
  • Use the Planner before spending credits — a clear brief leads to much better generation results
