    Ask an AI chatbot to redesign your living room, and within seconds, you will have a stunning visual transformation. But turning that vision into reality is where the real challenge begins.

    Home renovation remains a lengthy and fragmented process, often requiring months of showroom visits, price comparisons, supplier coordination, and contractor appointments before any work begins.

    ouda.ai was created to bridge the gap between inspiration and reality. This Lebanese startup introduces the country's first AI-powered home renovation shopping platform, allowing users to redesign their spaces with AI while connecting every featured item to real products available from local retailers, complete with pricing and vendor information.

    Users can browse an extensive catalog of furniture and home improvement products, seamlessly replacing existing items or adding new ones to their redesigned spaces. Beyond furniture, ouda.ai allows users to explore wall colors, flooring, tiles, and other renovation options, while providing estimated costs for both materials and labor.

    Users can also connect with the right skilled professionals to bring their AI-generated designs to life, turning their vision into reality.

    For retailers, ouda.ai offers a powerful platform to showcase their products directly within customers' homes through realistic AI visualizations, increasing brand awareness, product engagement, and the potential for higher conversion rates.

    The founders summarize what sets ouda.ai apart with a simple distinction: while tools like ChatGPT have made it easier to visualize a redesigned space, ouda.ai bridges the gap between inspiration and execution by integrating real, purchasable products, transparent material and labor cost estimates, and access to skilled professionals who can bring those designs to life.

    One Vision, Four Founders, 30 Days

    Founder and CEO Serge Khairallah recognized that while AI had transformed how people envision their living spaces, the process of bringing those designs to life remained largely unchanged. His vision was to bridge that gap through an AI-powered platform connecting users with real products from local retailers, skilled renovation professionals, and transparent estimates for materials and labor.

    To turn this vision into reality, he assembled a team of highly skilled and talented people, bringing on Michel Bitar as CTO, Anthony Badran as COO, and Christian Khairallah as CISO. Through relentless dedication, countless late nights, and a shared commitment to their vision, the four founders transformed ouda.ai from an ambitious concept into a fully functional web app in just 30 days.

    2,000 Users in Just Three Weeks

    The early response has been encouraging. Within just three weeks, ouda.ai attracted more than 2,000 users, reflecting growing interest in a simpler approach to home renovation. This startup also gained recognition by winning the pitch competition at the Creator Summit, marking another important milestone in its journey.

    With ouda.ai, the team set out to transform what traditionally takes months of renovation hassle, from redesigning spaces and sourcing real local products to estimating costs and finding skilled professionals, into a seamless experience with just one click.
