Can I really generate three directions during a live Zoom pitch?
Yes. The render pipeline ships each direction in about 15 seconds; three of them together land in 45 seconds. You share your Zoom screen, open Pitch Presenter mode (no app chrome, just the renders), and walk your client through each direction. Email the PDF before you say goodbye.
How accurate are the rendered products? Can the client actually buy them?
Yes. Every object in each rendered direction is tagged to a real SKU on Amazon, Home Depot, or Wayfair — we use Google Gemini to identify the object type and find the closest shoppable match. Links in the PDF are your affiliate links (we set that up in your studio profile), so when clients buy, you get the commission. Match accuracy is ~85% on common categories (sofas, rugs, lamps, art); rarer items occasionally miss — in which case you swap them from the app in one click.
Is the PDF really branded to my studio?
Yes. One-time setup on day 1: upload your studio logo (PNG with transparent bg), pick two brand colors from a palette, type your studio name and tagline. From that point every PDF carries your identity in the header + footer. Clients open the file and see your brand, not ours.
What if my client doesn't like any of the three directions?
You generate three more. On Designer ($99/mo · 30 renders) that uses up your monthly quota faster; on Designer Pro ($199/mo · 100 renders) you've got headroom for regenerations across several pitches. If you run dry on either tier, add-on packs ($19 for 10, $79 for 50) top you up — credits never expire. In practice, clients anchor on one of the first three and redirect from there ("I like this one — can you make it lighter?") — which becomes a targeted regen of one direction, not a full three-render burn.
Can I charge my clients for the renders?
Absolutely. Plenty of our designers include a "visualization service" line on their proposal at $200–$500 per pitch. Your margin on that is 100% — you pay us $99–$199/mo flat and bill your clients whatever the market bears. Nothing in our terms prevents that.
Designer vs Designer Pro — which should I pick?
Designer ($99/mo) works for 1–2 pitches per week. 30 renders/mo covers ~10 client pitches at 3 directions each. Designer Pro ($199/mo · 100 renders) is for busy studios: ~33 full pitches a month, 4K output, priority queue (<20s), and a wider style library. Both tiers can buy add-on packs if you need more — $19 for 10 renders or $79 for 50. If you're on Designer and consistently buying the 50-pack, upgrading to Pro is usually the cheaper move.
Is this an appraisal or valuation tool?
No — and we're deliberate about that. HandeeFriend is a decision-support system. We generate renders, source products, and reference material-price bands. We don't produce labor quotes, appraisals, or valuations. Firm costs come from the licensed contractor your client hires after seeing the PDF. Your lender, your inspector, and your regional tribunal will thank us for holding that line.
What AI does it use?
Google Gemini 3.1 Flash for both the render pipeline and the object-to-SKU matching. No OpenAI, no DALL-E. Gemini's rendering quality on interior spaces is currently the best-in-class for this use case — you can test it with your own photos during the trial.
Who owns the renders and PDFs?
You do. Always. Cancel any time and keep every render, every sourced list, and every PDF you've ever exported. We don't paywall your past work.
