Real Estate AI Virtual Staging Service 'Room AI' Enhances Image Quality with Proprietary Technology; Introduces Invoice Payment, Long-term Contracts, and One-time Purchase Plans

Room AI: Home staging that doubles the response rate*

Cross Edge Inc. (Operations Manager: Tatsuaki Watanabe) has enhanced the proprietary quality assurance technology for its AI virtual staging service for real estate, 'Room AI' (https://roomai.jp), resulting in improved generated image quality. Simultaneously, the company has introduced new payment and contract options, including invoice payment (bank transfer, compliant with invoice requirements) and six-month/one-year contracts, to facilitate adoption by corporate clients.

Background

'Virtual staging,' which uses AI to synthesize furniture and interior design onto photos of vacant rooms, is increasingly being utilized in real estate operations to boost responses before property viewings. However, images generated by AI often face challenges with quality inconsistency, such as appearing unnatural or being difficult to use directly for promotional purposes. Furthermore, corporate clients considering full-scale adoption have increasingly requested payment methods that align with their accounting processes and longer-term contract options.

Room AI has addressed these two challenges—'quality' and 'ease of adoption'—with this update.

Overview of Updates

[1] Further Improvement in Finished Quality with Proprietary Quality Assurance Technology

Room AI features a self-developed quality assurance mechanism that automatically verifies generated images through an internal proprietary process and adjusts them to meet established quality standards before providing them to users. In this update, both the quality assurance technology and the image generation engine have been enhanced to improve finished quality, including more natural furniture placement, better material texture, and reduced spatial unnaturalness.

Users can utilize these images for promotional materials without worrying about complex settings or rework.

[2] New Payment and Contract Options to Support Corporate Adoption

To make the service more accessible to corporate clients, the following options have been added:

Support for Invoice Payment (Bank Transfer)

In addition to credit cards, payment via bank transfer (payment at the end of the following month) is now available. Since PDFs of compliant tax invoices (in line with the invoice system) are issued, they can be used directly for accounting purposes.

New Six-Month and One-Year Contract Plans

In addition to the traditional monthly subscription, six-month and one-year contract plans are now available. The one-year contract offers a 10% saving on a monthly basis (Standard: equivalent to 17,820 yen/month; Professional: equivalent to 26,820 yen/month, all prices excluding tax).

Added Trial One-time Purchase Plan

Independent of the subscription, a one-time purchase plan (2,000 yen, excl. tax; valid for 90 days) that allows for the additional purchase of 15 images when needed has been added. This can be used in conjunction with a subscription or shared within a team.

[3] Continuous Improvement in Operability and Convenience

Continuous improvements are being made to enhance ease of use in daily operations, such as 'automatic orientation (rotation) correction' to prevent photos taken with smartphones from being imported with unintended orientations, batch processing to upload multiple images and generate them sequentially, and significant expansion of the operation manual categorized by purpose.

Comment from Operations Manager

'Virtual staging is valuable because it conveys the charm of a property at a glance, but AI-generated images have suffered from quality inconsistencies. We have focused on achieving 'quality that can be used directly for promotion' and have refined our proprietary quality assurance mechanism. With this quality enhancement and the support for invoice payments and annual contracts, we believe real estate companies can now incorporate our service into their daily operations with greater confidence. We will continue to evolve in both quality and ease of use.' (Tatsuaki Watanabe, Operations Manager, Cross Edge Inc.)

Future Outlook

Room AI will continue to expand its features, centering on improving generation quality and enhancing usability for corporate operations. Through team operation support and stronger integration with real estate business workflows, the company aims to transform virtual staging from a 'special task' into a 'standard daily tool.'
