Also, I don't understand the pricing model: free to start but $0.08 per design. What's a "design?" I assume a single image. How many designs are offered for free?
Yes, a design is an image. Right now, I offer only 5 images, but that might not be enough for a proper trial. I may increase it if people are asking for more credits.
Try it with your smartphone: make two pictures from exactly the same position, one with your wide angle lens and one with your normal lens. After that you should be able to crop the wide angle version in such a way that the framing & composition will be almost identical to the normal angled photo.
It does seem useful for real estate agents, assuming buyers are going to be sufficiently swayed by simulated photos of what the inside of a house could look like even when they go for a visit and it's empty in reality, plus the photos seemingly wouldn't match the furniture and decor they actually own. The wording for people already living in a home is a bit specious, though, I'd say. Generating something that looks like a photo is not "bringing my vision to life." Life isn't a photo. Obviously, it's too much to ask you to give me a team of robots that can change my actual house as opposed to a photo of it, at least for a cheap price, but let's be real on the limitations of what you can do with this.
Does it have any connections to furniture and decor sellers such that the images it generates are images that even can be brought to life without me having to build everything from scratch? Does it know or try to estimate dimensions and show things that will actually fit? If I give it photos of all of my rooms, can it move furniture I already own between them to possibly give a better allocation than what I've got now?
Obviously, I could sign up and try to figure these out for myself, but I suppose the biggest issue is I have no idea who you are and see no reason I should trust you with photos of the interior of my home. Your entire page here makes not a single mention of data privacy.
This is essentially an MVP, and I’m testing interest before building out more. (I could have just set up a landing page with a form, but I wanted to see the real engagement.) That’s why some elements, like privacy policies and terms and conditions, aren’t there yet—I'll try to add those this weekend.
By the way, I'm Paul, the founder of Mailead.io. You can find my Twitter at the bottom of the site!
This would be worth something.
People do this by moving things around and with paper cutouts. Much easier to pay 20-30 and see all variations.
You then take pictures from something you want to buy and pay the fee again to see 50 or 200 implementations.
Image generation took a bit (currently waiting, will keep writing once it finishes). I sent 3 images to generate, and even though the site said "images will be in the "generated" section even after you reload. Once I reloaded there was nothing anywhere, and no sign of the 3 images I sent. I tried re-generating again and the site told me that I only had 2 credits left; so I sent to generate 1. At the end, it only generated 1 image.

It feels as if the generator "shrunk" the size of a wall and added some doors in place of a wall. Other than that I like the design.
