Rooms and sizes read from a floor plan by AI
Attach the floor plan a client sent, as a photo, screenshot or PDF. The AI lists the rooms with their kind and size, the carpet area and how sure it is. In auto mode, a plan that arrives in the chat inbox is read, quoted and sent on its own when the AI is sure enough.

Why it matters
Most leads for a home interior start with a builder's floor plan on WhatsApp, often a phone photo of a brochure. Typing ten rooms and their sizes off that picture is the slow part of a first quote, so it waits for the designer. Here the AI reads the plan in one step, marks every room it read and says how sure it is. Your own rates do the pricing. With auto mode on, a clear plan can get a priced answer in the same chat while your team is on site.
The problem it solves
- A client sends a phone photo of the builder's brochure and someone has to type every room and size before a price can be given.
- Sizes are read wrongly from a blurred plan, and nobody knows which numbers were guessed.
- Plans that arrive at night or on a site day wait until someone is free.
- Firms worry about an AI sending prices to clients without any check.
How it works
- On an instant quote, open the Floor Plan and Rooms tab and attach the plan. Use up to four photos or PDFs of up to 10 MB each.
- Press Read Plan with AI. The plan goes to the SmartMy AI service with one line asking for sizes in feet or metres, as the quote is set.
- The rooms come back marked Read by AI, with their kind and length and width. Bathrooms, balconies and stores come in out of scope.
- The quote shows AI Sure (%) and What the AI Read: the assumptions it made, such as a size taken from the scale bar. Carpet area and property type fill in only if they were empty.
- Check the sizes, change or leave out rooms, then press Work Out. Reading again replaces only the rooms the AI read before.
- In auto mode (Growth and Scale, with the chat inbox): a picture or PDF arriving in a conversation is read at once. At or above the sureness you set, the quote is worked out and sent with nobody in between.
- Below it, or if anything is missing, the chat's owner gets Instant Quote Waiting with how sure the AI was. They finish the quote by hand.
Everything it does
What the AI is asked and what it returns
- One call to the SmartMy AI service per press, as the task interior_plan on its smart tier. The service picks the model and AI Usage records it
- Sent: the plan files (up to 4, each up to 10 MB; larger files are skipped) and the unit to use. Nothing else about the client
- Asked for: every room with its kind and inside size. These are read from the dimensions written on the plan first, then the scale bar or another room's size
- Room kinds: Kitchen, Bedroom, Living, Dining, Pooja, Study, Foyer, Utility, Bathroom, Balcony, Store, Other
- Also returned: carpet area, number of bedrooms, how sure it is (0 to 100) and what it assumed
What is saved without anyone checking
- The rooms, marked Read by AI, sizes kept between 0 and 500 and names cut to 60 characters
- AI Sure (%) and What the AI Read on the quote, and a line in the history asking you to check the rooms
- The carpet area, only if the quote had none; the property type, matched from the carpet area, only if empty
- No price: the lines and ranges come from your packages and quantity rules when you, or auto mode, press Work Out
Auto mode
- Off to start with: Send Instant Quotes Automatically, with Only When the AI Is At Least (%) Sure (80)
- Works on pictures and PDFs received in the SmartMy Marketing inbox; the quote takes the contact, the channel and the plan
- A second picture in the same chat joins the open quote instead of starting a new one
- If the AI found a property type but no rooms in scope, the typical rooms of that type are used
- Sent in the same chat while it is open (24 hours after the client's last message on WhatsApp). Otherwise as the approved WhatsApp template and email
- A reading problem never loses the client's message; if the quote cannot be worked out, the reason is written on the quote
Switches and credits
- Read Plans with AI: on to start with, per entity; off, plans are never sent and auto mode stops
- Each person needs AI switched on by an administrator (Administration > AI > AI Users)
- Each reading counts against the plan's AI credits, a hard limit; more come in AI packs
- AI Usage lists every call: who, when, the task, credits used and whether it worked

Questions
Does the AI decide the price?
No. It returns rooms and sizes only. Prices come from your packages' rates and quantity rules when the quote is worked out.How do we know which sizes were guessed?
Every room the AI read is marked, and the quote shows how sure the AI was. What the AI Read lists its assumptions, such as a size from the scale bar.Can a wrong quote go out by itself?
Only with auto mode on, which is off to start with. Even then, only when the AI is at least as sure as you set (80 %). Below that, a person finishes it. The client always sees the quote note saying the final price comes after a site visit.What is sent to the AI?
The plan files and the unit to use, through the SmartMy AI service in your subscription. No key of your own is needed. Switch Read Plans with AI off and no plan is ever sent.What does it cost?
Each reading counts against your plan's monthly AI credits. When they run out, reading stops until next month or until you buy an AI pack; quotes can still be made by hand.Related features
