StyleSmith AI™
designs the whole house.
Not a mood board. A finished selection set.
Name a home. Name a look. StyleSmith AI™ composes the whole house from real live data— your actual product catalog in the Design Center, at your own retail pricing, steered by the inspiration photography your design team curates and by your buyer's own style profile.
Every pick is a product you already sell, chosen inside your style guidelines and held to one palette. Say “cap it at Upgrade II” and the entire look stays there.
Then it writes the set into your Design Center — on your say-so.
- A buyer stares at a wall of samples with no starting point, and the appointment burns three hours.
- Selections get made one category at a time, so the hardware fights the lighting and nobody notices until install.
- Flooring changes at the hallway because two rooms were picked on two different days.
- Your best designer's taste lives in your best designer's head, and it does not scale to forty homes.
- The buyer walks in and a complete, priced look is already on screen — a real starting point, not a blank slate.
- The whole house is composed at once, so the finish family and palette hold together by construction, not by luck.
- Flooring carries room to room because continuity is a rule, not a habit.
- Every designer on your team starts from the same standard — and every appointment starts 80% done.
AI-generated looks, built on your live data.
Every single thing StyleSmith AI™ suggests is a real product you already sell. It composes from two live sources inside your own Cornerstone account — and nothing else.
Your design-center product catalog
Your actual options, your option categories, your spec levels, your live retail pricing — read straight out of your Cornerstone Design Center. When StyleSmith AI™ proposes a faucet, that faucet is in your catalog, at your price, orderable today. It cannot suggest something you don't carry, because it has nothing else to suggest from.
Your curated Style Inspiration library
Your design team uploads the inspiration photography they're already collecting, and StyleSmith AI™ vision-tags every image automatically — colors, materials, finishes, motifs. Nobody sits there labeling photos. Those tags roll up into per-theme style signals that weight the composition, so the looks come out sounding like your brand instead of like a generic algorithm.
To be precise about how this works: inspiration photos shape the style direction at the theme level. Matching an individual reference photo to a specific room is on the roadmap, not shipped — and the library is curated by your staff, not uploaded by buyers.
The difference is what happens after the buyer says yes. A mood board hands your designer a research project. StyleSmith AI™ hands them a priced, in-spec, orderable selection set — because it was never allowed to imagine a product in the first place.
Four steps. One coherent house.
StyleSmith AI™ is a chat page your design and sales staff open like any other tool — with the whole Design Center behind it.
Pick a look
Open the StyleSmith AI™ chat, name a home, and pick one of the style themes — or let the buyer's own style profile drive it. Ask in plain English: “compose a Modern Farmhouse look for 116 Bayside Drive.”
It composes the whole house
Every pending design placeholder on that home gets filled in one pass — flooring, tile, cabinets, counters, plumbing, lighting, hardware. Not a mood board. Real options out of your real catalog, with live retail pricing.
Review, ask why, swap
Ask it why a look works and it tells you — the palette family, the finish family, the flooring logic. Don't like one pick? Swap that single selection and the rest of the composition stays intact. Start over clean any time.
Apply it for real
On your word, it writes the set into the home's actual Design Center selections — through the exact same guarded path a person uses. Nothing is locked, nothing is approved, nothing is forced. Your normal approval flow is still the only way anything locks.
One catalog. 10 different houses.
Every design option you own is scored against all 10 themes, so the same catalog composes ten genuinely different homes. Each look carries its own finish language — and StyleSmith AI™ holds the whole house to it.
Nobody has to tag anything
An automated tagging pipeline style-scores every design option against all 10 themes, and it runs every night. Add a hundred new options today and they're style-scored by tomorrow morning with zero manual upkeep. If one of your designers hand-corrects a tag, the nightly pass leaves that human edit alone — your judgment always outranks the model's.
Your buyer doesn't get the neighbor's house.
A fixed design package solves the builder's problem, not the buyer's. Three families on the same street all pick “Package B” and end up with the same kitchen, the same floors, the same everything — and every one of them notices at the block party.
- One of three or four fixed bundles, take it or leave it.
- The buyer bends their taste to fit a package somebody wrote last year.
- Personalization means à la carte swaps that quietly break the palette.
- Identical houses, three doors apart.
- You feed it this buyer's specifics — their style profile, their spec level, their ceiling, the look they keep coming back to.
- It composes for that house, from your catalog, against your guidelines.
- The palette holds together because it was composed as one house, not assembled from swaps.
- Same catalog, same rules, genuinely different result every time.
Still want packages? It builds those for you too.
Plenty of builders want curated packages anyway — for spec homes, for a quick-move-in program, for the buyer who would genuinely rather not decide. StyleSmith AI™ drafts those as well: hand it a theme and a spec level and it composes a complete Design Package for your review.
So you don't have to choose. Bespoke for the buyer who wants their own house, and a package factory for when you want a shelf of ready-made looks — out of the same catalog, under the same guidelines, from the same agent.
It doesn't stop at inspiration.
It fills the Design Center.
The gap between “here's a nice look” and “here's this buyer's house, priced” is exactly where design tools usually quit and hand the work back to your designer. StyleSmith AI™ closes it.
It picks inside your style guidelines
It composes within the rules you already set up — your option categories, your spec levels, and what counts as standard versus an upgrade in that specific community. You are not handing the AI a blank canvas; you are handing it your rulebook.
Real selections, not a PDF
It writes to the home's actual Design Center selection records — the very same rows your designer edits by hand. There's no export step, no re-keying a mood board into the system, and no second source of truth to reconcile later.
Through the same guarded path a person uses
Approved and locked selections are refused rather than overwritten. Structural options are never in scope. Nothing is auto-approved and nothing is auto-locked — it writes only to open design slots.
Priced as it goes
Every line carries live retail pricing out of your own catalog, so the buyer sees the number in the same moment they see the look. No stored costs, no invented numbers — the same hard-cost rule as the rest of Cornerstone.
From there your normal process takes over, completely unchanged — buyer approval, change orders, purchasing, POs. StyleSmith AI™ gets the house to 80% designed and fully priced before the appointment starts. It does not try to be the rest of your workflow.
See how the Design Center worksAn AI you can let touch real selections.
A design agent is only useful if you can trust it with the data. So the interesting part of StyleSmith AI™ isn't what it can do — it's what it refuses to do.
Say “cap it at Upgrade II.”
It stays at Upgrade II.
Tell StyleSmith AI™ the ceiling in plain English and the entire composed look respects it — every room, every category, every line. The ceiling is set before it composes, so nothing above your line ever enters the set. It is not a filter you apply afterward, and it is not a warning you get at the end.
That's the difference between an AI your design team can actually run with and one somebody has to audit line by line. An AI-composed look cannot produce a surprise upgrade overage.
It respects the spec band
A home's included spec level is a hard floor — StyleSmith AI™ never proposes something below the tier the buyer already paid for. Give it a ceiling too (“stay at or under Upgrade II”) and it holds that line strictly.
Gaps, not substitutions
If a slot has no candidate inside the allowed band, it says so — “no in-spec candidate” — and leaves the slot open. It will not quietly reach up a tier to make the set look complete. An honest hole beats a surprise overage.
It cannot overwrite your work
Approved and locked selections are refused, not overridden. Structural options are never in scope. It writes only to open design slots, and it never marks anything approved or locked on its own.
Real prices only
Every proposed selection carries live retail pricing straight from your catalog. Nothing carries a stored or default cost — same hard-cost rule as the rest of Cornerstone. Unpriced lines read as unpriced instead of guessing.
Know their taste before they sit down.
In the homeowner portal, your buyer plays 12 rounds of this-or-that — two rooms, pick the one you like — plus three quick sliders: warm to cool, light to dark, classic to modern. It takes a couple of minutes and it feels like a game, not a form.
The pairs are deliberately blind. The buyer never sees a style label, so they can't answer with what they think they're supposed to like. What comes out is a real style profile — a personal blend across the 10 looks.
That profile then biases StyleSmith AI™'s composition. Your designer opens the appointment with a house already leaning the buyer's direction — which is a very different conversation from “so, what are you thinking?”
Availability: the buyer style quiz is part of the StyleSmith AI™ early-access rollout and is switched on per account — it is not yet turned on for every Pro+ and Enterprise org by default. Ask us where your account sits.
More than a chat window
StyleSmith AI™ shows up wherever design decisions actually get made.
Drafts your Design Packages
Hand it a theme and a spec level and it drafts a complete builder Design Package. It arrives as a draft — unusable by buyers until a human publishes it — and it leaves the bundle price to you. StyleSmith AI™ composes; the builder prices.
Built into Foreman AI™
The same capabilities are exposed as Foreman AI™ tools. If your team already runs the business out of Foreman, they can list looks, compose a house, and apply it without switching pages.
Learns from your inspiration
Inspiration images your team uploads are vision-tagged and rolled into per-theme trend signals — your own design direction is the backbone. A weekly refresh from design-press feeds and search trends keeps it current. No social media APIs, so nothing breaks when a platform changes its rules.
What's next for StyleSmith AI™
- AI concept renderings of a composed look, so the buyer sees the room and not just the line items.
- Buyer self-serve “Design My Home” — a pre-appointment flow where the buyer explores looks on their own before they ever come in.
- Per-room photo references — point at one specific inspiration photo for one specific room and have the composer match products to that image. Today inspiration photography steers the look at the theme level; per-photo, per-room matching is not shipped yet.
Not available today. Listed so you know where this is going — we don't sell roadmap as shipped.

Why this lives at the top of the stack
StyleSmith AI™ only works because everything under it is already real: a structured options engine, spec levels per community, attribute groups, and vendor-awarded retail pricing on every line. It isn't a style filter bolted onto a catalog — it's an agent reasoning over a fully modeled design center.
That's why it ships with Pro+ and Enterprise. Those are the tiers where the full platform — and the full AI suite — is already turned on.
