After uploading a photo or choosing from a template, users can redesign a space, furnish an empty room, or edit a photo through written prompts.

It did change a couple of items to fit the brief — for example, adding a couch to a room that didn’t have one — but it also removed my TV and media console entirely and never transformed the room to fit the style I wanted.
