as a founder building an architectural AI visualisation platform, i think professional architects don't need a tool that creates a dream villa in one prompt.

they want AI to solve the messy real workflow:
existing floor plans, bad references, material swaps, relighting scenes, endless revisions, etc.

that’s where the actual product has to work.

[Ayush Agarwal @ayushagarwal]

we have a new case study out. this one is with @vibe3dai, an AI rendering tool for architects and interior designers.

before switching to @dodopayments, their checkout couldn't handle international payments well. architects from Europe and North America were signing up but dropping off at payment.

after integrating Dodo Payments, their conversion rate doubled. immediately.

they went live in one day. today they have paying customers in 150+ countries. they expected maybe 10-20.

$20K MRR. bootstrapped. three-person team. tax and compliance across 150+ countries handled automatically because we operate as merchant of record.

WE JUST GAVE ARCHITECTS A RELIGHT BUTTON

Relight any 3D render instantly.

Tired of creating the same render again and again just to change the mood? That ends now.

One design.
Infinite lighting moods.
Any time of day.
Lights on. Lights off.
Design stays exactly the same.

Because changing the vibe should just take one click.

Interior designers are going to love this.
Launching soon on https://t.co/FCUZtQlHFR

[Brijesh Patel @erione_]

most architects i talk to are still spending 2–3 days waiting on renders.

they send a model to a rendering farm or use traditional rendering softwares on their system, wait for hours, get something back that looks almost right, tweak it, wait again.

we built Vibe3D because that loop is brutal when a client presentation is in 48 hours.

upload your 3D models from SketchUp/Revit/Rhino/Blender/3DS Max, get a photorealistic renders in ~30 seconds. geometry, materials, textures all stay intact.

the time you save doesn't go to the tool. it goes back to the actual design work and execution of the project.

Just returned from a fascinating couple weeks in China meeting robotics teams/manufacturers and retail/Internet operators. Found @ericjang11 and @vhmth's reflections useful and wanted to share themes/tradeoffs I've been reflecting on.

Came home with more questions than answers!

[Shubh Agrawal @ShubhAgrawal26]

It's quite frustrating how @IndiGo6E employs this dark UI pattern . When you try to check in for a flight, they indicate that all free seats are sold out and only allow you to check in early if you pay for a seat.

In the past, you could be assigned a random seat, but that option is no longer available.

Now, you either have to pay for a seat, or if you choose to proceed without paying, it simply prompts you with "Hey, select a seat now," without offering a free seat option. It's disappointing to see this kind of behavior from a company, and I honestly don't understand how it's legal.

@DGCAIndia is this legal?

@airtelindia @airtelindia It’s been 4 days since my last tweet and there is still no meaningful response or resolution from your team. Please have your support team review my existing case and close it on priority. I’m done repeating the same details over and over. #AirtelFail

[Smit Patel @smitrp]

@airtelindia Your Thanks app is broken. added family member post-dues clear, but still hit with 2 months separate bills despite shared family plan! no 121 follow-up after calling multiple times. Pathetic service! #AirtelScam

[Smit Patel @smitrp]

@airtelindia Your support is a nightmare! Airtel app clearly shows family member added to my plan after dues cleared, yet records lie & you're refusing to waive 2 months duplicate charges. Endless emails/calls met with "your fault, no order placed" pure incompetence! #AirtelFail

No clear resolution for a week. MH Vouchers provided to me don't work for booking new tickets and no one in @MAS knows why. Support request is going back and forth between social media team and customer support call centers. #WorstAirline

[Smit Patel @smitrp]

Dear @MAS I received vouchers from Malaysia Airlines as a gift due to flight cancellation during the pandemic. Vouchers will expire by January 2023, so I won't be able to use them. I've called your support and the problem hasn't been resolved #MalaysiaAirlines

[Smit Patel @smitrp]

@MAS After being forced to use vouchers, I still am not able to book tickets. USD vouchers don't work even after opting to pay in USD currency. Call support is also unable to book using these vouchers. 😔
