Dabble

Hey Makers! 👋🏽 After months of hard work, we're thrilled to finally launch Dabble! Thanks for hunting us @katmanalac! ✨ What is Dabble? Dabble is an A.I.-assisted creative tool for interior design. It lets you clip furniture and decor products from anywhere online, design your space with them and manage your budget, all in one place. 💡 The problem we're solving. My wife and I bought our first home in 2020 and decided it was time to be adults and buy some non-IKEA furniture for the first time. We didn't realize it then but we were in for a rabbit hole of infinite scrolling, Googling, and endless arguments over what looked good together, fit our space, and came in under budget. Many vendors have AR design apps, but they're limited to their own inventory, and designing in AR is painful for longer periods. We wanted to build something that was simple, web-based, and worked across all vendors, even local stores. That’s why we built Dabble. ⚙️ How Dabble works When you clip a product via our Chrome Extension, Dabble scrapes the product details and auto-removes the image background. You can then design an entire room with the products you've clipped, and Dabble makes it really easy to mix and match products and visualize various design options to find one you love. 🔥 Why is this important now? We are currently in a renaissance of creative tools powered by A.I. From A.I. copywriting to image editing and deep fake videos, it's going to completely change how content is created. Sam Altman (@sama) recently tweeted about this. With Dabble, we're extending this idea to designing physical spaces. 🏆 The Dabble Golden Kitty Design Challenge 🏆 We thought it would be fun to run a design challenge for the PH community! Remote work became the new norm last year and our work-from-home spaces have become our sanctuaries. ➡️ The Challenge: Design your dream work-from-home office ➡️ The Prizes 3 Winning designs will win gift cards totaling $1200 to any home store of their choice! 🥇 GOLD: $500, 🥈 SILVER: $400, 🥉 BRONZE: $300 ➡️ How To Participate Design the most epic home office space you can imagine, on Dabble.

Timely! We're moving into a new place next month. This may be useful when furnishing.

?makers Love it! Is there an API for services that would like to optimize the ordering process with the help of your product? :)

Dabble has been amazing as we've switched to WFH, and we had to rethink our space + redesign several areas. I've been loving the chrome plugin, and been using it to pin certain furniture items (to find through sales l8r). Also, the automatic transparency on images is pretty cool (ie no need to use photoshop to remove solid backgrounds). P.S. Couldn't resist designing yet another dabble. Using it as a vision board, really need that Moroccan desk: https://app.dabble.so/share/REpS...

Dabble is a super interesting tool for a very complex problem. It really takes the design/inspiration part of buying furniture and makes it super easy to play with different options all while staying in an online editor. The fact that it works on literally any website was enough to get me to use it. I've seen the work that this team has poured into this tool and it really shows in the progression since it was initially started. +1 from me :)

I've been using Dabble for my personal remodels for a while. What I really love is the ability to track budgets. Usually when you're remodeling or just revamping a room you start with a budget and then lose all that information as its spread across carts and lists different platform. Dabble puts all of that into one place and it's also helped me understand the cost of my current rooms. The chrome plugin works really well and you can add items from almost any site, I even added items from amazon into mine. Here's a remodel I'm currently working on for my work area, a mix of World Market, Crate & Barrel and West Elm furniture. Definitely over my 3K budget, going to have to toss out some trinkets later. Threw in a golden kitty on my top shelf for aspirational reasons. https://app.dabble.so/share/SjrG...

Hi everyone, Nav here from the Dabble engineering team. It's been a ton of fun building Dabble over the past year and seeing how much the product has evolved since we got started. Over the course of developing the product there's been a ton of interesting problems to solve! One thing that we've emphasized at Dabble is using ML to make the little things easier. As an example, we noticed that most websites have a ton of irrelevant images (banners, logos, duplicates of different sizes, etc), that would fill up our clipper extension when trying to save a product. Different vendor websites are inconsistent with how these images are laid out, and so we decided to build and deploy an ML-based system in the browser to bubble up the "best" images to the top. We've called this system HeroNet (since it finds the "hero" images), and it looks to prioritize images of furniture with clean backgrounds facing forward, at an angle, or sideways, over context images and closeups. Below is an example of how our extension ranks images, compared to Pinterest! We found that this reduced a significant amount of friction in the clipping process, and is one of the many ways we're using AI to help make things a little easier when you're designing your dream space. As a small startup, we're always looking for creative ways to supercharge our product using AI, and this is definitely something we're planning to continue doing as we move from 2D to 3D and work our way to a future of spatial e-commerce. If you're working on something similar or have any questions about some of our tech, leave a comment below! Always happy to do a technical deep dive :D
