Hey Folks,

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you! We’ve rebranded our company to DesignAI. If you had asked me a year ago about diving into the world of design software, I would have never guessed this was the path we’d take. But here we are, embracing this journey with enthusiasm and passion.

It all started back in college when I named our venture RealMe In, a playful take on “Real estate lead gen.” I was building it out of my dorm room, dreaming up a new persona for my project. After graduation, we launched ReelProp AI — our very first AI model. It was a simple agent that could transform a room’s image into a video. Initially, real estate agents found it useful for creating short-form videos, but it was the interior designers who truly fell in love with it!

This experience opened our eyes to a broader vision. We realized we could develop a variety of AI models capable of creating textures, colors, and even 3D models from mere photos! We weren’t just solving small problems; we were laying the foundation for something much bigger — a comprehensive design software suite.

Adobe and Autodesk have been industry pillars for nearly half a century, but it’s time for a change. We, the founders of DesignAI, are excited to lead this transformation. The next generations of architects, designers, and engineers will revolutionize how we design and develop our world and beyond, and we will be there to support them every step of the way.

Here’s to a future where creativity knows no bounds!

Sincerely,
Saranga Pagadala
Founder, DesignAI
