Looking for a technical co-founder - AI + interior design platform

Looking for a technical co-founder - AI + interior design platform, UK-based

I'm an interior designer based in London building something I haven't seen done properly anywhere: a platform where a real designer's taste is encoded into the AI — not just a generic tool that spits similar renders time and time again.

The core idea: can be discussed privately if you feel you are interested in exploring this space.

I'm looking for someone who:
— Has built a SaaS product before, ideally solo or small team
— Has integrated AI APIs (Replicate, OpenAI, Anthropic — any of these)
— Wants equity and ownership – this currently has no paid role
— Is genuinely curious about the design world

I bring the domain expertise, client relationships, creative direction, and the IP that makes this different. UK/EU timezone preferred but not essential.

Drop me a comment or DM if this sounds interesting.

    This is a really interesting direction, especially combining domain expertise with AI like this. finding the right technical cofounder for something so taste-driven is probably more about alignment than just skills.

    I’ve been exploring this space a bit, around how people find collaborators who actually match their thinking and vision early on. how are you planning to evaluate that fit before committing?

      Hi, Its very tricky especially with no technical background so I was planning on using the old fashioned method of starting with a conversation! Happy to hear of alternative thoughts.

    Hey, I am a software architect with around 10 years of exprience building enterprise grade products for various fortune 500 companies. I have worked on similar projects before and I use AI extensively to assist in my daily tasks. I am a hands-on developer and take pride in designing and incubating products from infancy before scaling. I would be happy to connect with you so that we can have a detailed conversation and explore possibilities.

    Hi, I’m a full-stack developer with 12+ years of experience building SaaS products and integrating AI APIs like OpenAI and similar platforms. I’ve worked on scalable web and mobile applications and understand how to turn product ideas into production-ready systems. I’m genuinely interested in AI-driven products, especially where design and personalization play a key role. I can help you build the technical foundation, from architecture to AI integration and scalable backend systems. Happy to connect and explore how we can bring this vision to life together.

      That's great I have sent you an email.

    This is an interesting direction, encoding a designer’s “taste system” into AI is harder than it sounds because consistency vs variation becomes the real tension.
    Curious how you’re thinking about capturing design style in a structured way?

    The real moat here is not “AI for interiors.”

    That part gets commoditized fast.

    The defensible layer is whether the output carries recognizable taste instead of just producing prettier generic renders.

    If what you’re really building is taste infrastructure, the product likely outgrows “AI interior design tool” pretty quickly.

    That also means the brand probably matters earlier than most tools in this category.
    A generic descriptive name will make this feel like another prompt wrapper fast.

    Something tighter like Auryxa.com would hold premium positioning much better if this becomes taste-led software instead of just render generation.

      Thankyou for your thoughts!

        Of course.

        The reason I mentioned it is because interiors is one of those categories where the brand has to feel premium before the product is even tested.

        If this becomes taste-led software, not just AI rendering, the name will carry a lot of the trust.

        Auryxa.com fits that lane well if you ever want a cleaner premium .com direction around this.
