AI design & estimate

Design your own home with AI. Then find out what it costs.

HeyBuddy’s AI interior designer turns your own floor plan into finished room designs and a costed estimate. You show it your home, answer a few questions about who lives there and what you want, and it renders each room as a photo-real image — then prices that exact design line by line, at the material grade you picked.

  • Your floor plan, your rooms, your budget — not a generic per-square-foot guess
  • A photo-real image of each room in 30 to 90 seconds, regenerated as often as you like
  • An itemised estimate you can flip between economy, standard and premium, line by line

How it works

From a floor plan to a costed design

Step 1 · About a minute

Tell it who lives in the home

  • Adults, young kids, teenagers, elderly parents — each one changes the layout, the storage and the materials
  • A rough budget in lakhs and where you are in the project: keys in hand, fitting out a builder handover, or renovating while living there
  • Your budget is used as a guide, not a hard cap

Everything here exists to stop the AI designing a showroom instead of the home you actually live in.

Step 2 · Optional, but worth it

Show it your home

  • Upload a floor plan as a JPEG, PNG or WebP — the export from your builder portal is ideal
  • No plan? Photograph each room and tag what it is. The AI reads materials and proportions straight off the photos
  • It reads back every room it found, with length and width, and you correct anything it got wrong before moving on

You can skip this entirely and still get designs — but dimensions are what make the cost estimate worth trusting.

Step 3 · A few taps per room

Answer what it asks about each room

  • Questions are specific to the room: a kitchen is not asked what a pooja room is asked
  • Pick a style direction, or upload a reference photo you saved, or tell it to surprise you
  • Flag your non-negotiables once — pet-friendly, allergy-safe, Vastu-compliant, low-maintenance, eco, elderly-friendly — and they carry into every render

This is the brief you would otherwise spend an hour explaining to a designer, and repeating to the next one.

Step 4 · 30 to 90 seconds a room

It renders the room

  • One photo-real image of that room, designed to the brief you just gave it
  • Not what you meant? Tap Regenerate and say what to change — warmer, cooler, less wood, evening light — or describe it in your own words
  • Every version is kept, and you can put any two side by side on a slider to compare

Iterating on an image you can see beats describing a room you are imagining.

Step 5 · Free

It prices the design you are looking at

  • Costed line by line, grouped into civil and finishes, modular work, furniture, and finishings and lighting
  • Flip any single line between economy, standard and premium and watch the total move
  • You get a range, never a falsely precise number, with the confidence marked on each line

It prices the design on your screen — not a generic per-square-foot average for your city.

Step 6 · Only if you want it

Take the brief to real designers

  • Your brief, your renders and your estimate go to five verified studios in your area
  • Quotations typically arrive within 48 hours
  • You stay anonymous until you accept a quote

You arrive at the conversation with a design and a number, instead of a blank page.

What the estimate covers

Priced the way a designer quotes it

Not one number for the whole flat. Every item the design contains is priced on its own, grouped the way a real quotation is, so you can see what is driving the total and change it.

Civil + finishes
Flooring, wall paint, veneer and laminate panelling, POP and cove ceilings
Modular work
Modular kitchen, wardrobes, bathroom and balcony work
Furniture
Sofa and seating, TV unit, bed with storage, dining set, pooja unit
Finishings + lighting
Lighting and soft furnishings

It is a range, and it says so. Interior costs carry real uncertainty, so the tool shows a band rather than a falsely precise figure, marks how confident it is on each line, and states plainly that a designer’s quote may vary by around 20% with your city, your finishes and how much is customised. It is built to tell you whether a quote you have been given is reasonable — not to sign a contract against.

FAQ

Questions people ask first

Is the AI interior design tool free?

You start with ₹30 of credit, which is enough for about seven room designs, and the cost estimate itself is always free. Each design image costs ₹4 after that, and you can top up ₹100, ₹200 or ₹500 if you want to keep going. There is no subscription and no card required to start.

Do I need a floor plan?

No. You can skip it and the AI will still design your rooms. But a floor plan is what lets it read each room’s real dimensions, and dimensions are what make the cost estimate worth trusting — without them it has to assume a room size. Upload it as a JPEG, PNG or WebP; a photograph of a printed plan works. You can also photograph each room instead, or add a plan later.

Why do you ask for my phone number before showing the design?

Your designs, your floor plan and your estimate are saved to your number, so you can close the tab and come back to them. Verifying by OTP is what keeps that data yours — nobody can open your project without your number. Designers never see your contact details; if you later send your brief out for quotes, you stay anonymous until you accept one.

How accurate is the AI cost estimate?

It is an indicative range, not a quotation, and the tool says so on every screen: a designer’s quote can vary by around 20% depending on your city, the finishes and how much is customised. The pricing comes from a rate card of real material and labour rates rather than a flat per-square-foot multiplier, adjusted by a city cost index. It is accurate enough to tell you whether a ₹12 lakh quote is reasonable — not to sign a contract against.

Which cities does it work in?

You can design your home from anywhere in India. Pricing is adjusted for 26 Indian cities, including Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata and Ahmedabad, with Delhi NCR as the base. A city outside that list is priced at Delhi NCR rates, so treat the number as a national ballpark rather than a local one.

How long does one room take?

Between 30 and 90 seconds per image. Reading a floor plan takes about 10 to 15 seconds on top of that, once.

Can I change a design I do not like?

Yes, as many times as you like. Tap Regenerate and either use a one-tap change — warmer, cooler, more plants, less wood, add an accent, morning or evening light — or type what you want in your own words. Every version is kept, and you can compare any two side by side on a slider.

Do I have to hire a designer at the end?

No. The designs and the estimate are yours to keep and use however you like, including with your own contractor. Sending the brief out to verified designers for real quotes is a separate step you choose to take.
