The backstory
Virtual Staging AI furnishes empty listing photos with generated furniture. It is fast, cheap and good at the specific task. General image models now do room staging from a photo with a sentence of instruction, and listing platforms are building it in. Wounded: speed and consistency at bulk volume are what is left.
