HomeGPT expands the Company’s vertical AI strategy with multimodal home design, renovation visualization and AI-powered residential decision tools Miami, FL — July 21, 2026 — Core AI Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHAI) (“Core AI” or the “Company”), a global AI technology and infrastructure company, today announced that it is advancing the strategic positioning of HomeGPT as an AI-powered residential decision layer, expanding the platform’s role beyond home visualization to support planning, renovation and residential purchasing decisions. As a key component of the Company’s vertical AI application strategy, HomeGPT combines multimodal generative AI, spatial understanding, image editing, intelligent layout generation and AI video capabilities to transform a single home photo into a comprehensive design experience.
The U.S. housing market continues to present a mixed outlook. Total housing starts increased 19.0% in June, while single-family housing starts declined 0.2% and single-family building permits fell 2.4%. In July, builder confidence declined to 34, while the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate remained elevated at 6.55%.
For homeowners, higher borrowing costs are making relocation more expensive and extending the decision cycle around renovating, remodeling or reconfiguring an existing property. Across the residential value chain, design miscommunication, budgeting errors and purchasing mistakes have also become increasingly costly. HomeGPT is designed to support consumers during this critical planning stage before significant capital is committed.
HomeGPT is an AI-powered home design and renovation platform that enables users worldwide to transform a single interior, exterior or garden photo into multiple design concepts. Through features including Interior Design, Exterior Design, Garden Design, Item Swap, Style Match, Wall Makeover, Floor Makeover and Floorplan 3D, users can replace furniture, evaluate materials, explore layouts and convert static designs into AI-generated video walkthroughs.
Recent investment activity continues to highlight growing interest in AI solutions for the residential sector. Higharc completed a $95 million Series C financing on June 30 to expand its design-to-construction capabilities into estimating and building-material supply chains. Probook announced $40 million in funding on June 23 for its AI operating system serving home-service businesses, while Runpod secured a $100 million growth investment on June 24 to expand its AI developer cloud infrastructure.
Together, these investments span residential design workflows, service operations and AI infrastructure, underscoring growing investor interest in vertical AI platforms that participate in high-value consumer decisions and support multiple revenue opportunities. While builders optimize construction and service providers improve project delivery, HomeGPT is focused on an earlier stage of the customer journey—helping consumers visualize alternatives, build confidence and make more informed residential spending decisions.
The platform is designed to support multiple potential monetization opportunities. Consumers may access enhanced capabilities through subscriptions, usage credits, high-resolution exports and AI-generated video walkthroughs. Designers, real estate professionals and renovation contractors can utilize professional collaboration tools for proposals and client presentations. Over time, furniture, building material and home-service recommendations may further connect consumer design intent with real-world purchasing decisions.
“The real value of residential AI is not simply producing a beautiful image—it is reducing uncertainty around one of the largest financial decisions consumers make,” said Aitan Zacharin, Chief Executive Officer of Core AI Holdings. “As homeownership and renovation costs continue to rise, consumers increasingly want confidence before construction begins or a purchase is made. HomeGPT is designed to provide an intelligent decision layer that combines spatial understanding, AI-generated design and residential planning into a seamless experience.”
Looking ahead, HomeGPT is expected to continue expanding its capabilities through budget-aware design recommendations, multi-view spatial consistency, immersive 360-degree experiences, intelligent furniture and material recommendations, and collaboration tools for professional users.
The HomeGPT app is now available for download through the Apple App Store and Google Play.
