I'm struggling to see how this could lower the cost to ideate here, almost all of the designs I can see on your page would require re drafting/designing it would be more beneficial for people to look at homes that have already been built compared to an AI generation with no real world grounding. Also who is paying for the compute to generate these floor plans and renders? This would have to turn into a paid service eventually im assuming.
