Archome AI Is Now in ChatGPT: Staging and Renders

29 October 2026. Archome AI passed OpenAI's review and is now listed in ChatGPT under Plugins.

You can now stage a room, render a sketch or restyle a house photo without leaving ChatGPT. Install Archome AI once, connect your Archome account, and describe what you want. The finished image comes back in the conversation, with a link to the full-resolution file, and it is saved to your Archome library like any render made on archome.ai.

What it does inside ChatGPT

• Virtual staging. Furnish an empty room, or replace the furniture that is already there, in a style you name: Japandi, modern luxury, minimal, Scandinavian, classic. The tool is designed to keep the walls, windows, floor and camera angle of your photo.
• Interior and exterior renders. Restyle a room or a facade from a photo, a SketchUp or Revit screenshot, or a massing model.
• Sketch to render. A hand sketch or line drawing becomes a photo of the built project.
• Edits in plain language. "Remove all furniture", "make the sky blue", "day to dusk", "warmer light", "change the sofa to dark green velvet".
• Upscale, text to image and short video. Sharpen a result to 4x, create a concept from a description, or turn a still into a short clip (paid accounts).

How to install it

1. Open the Archome AI listing in ChatGPT, or search for "Archome" under Plugins.
2. Press Install. A window opens: sign in to your Archome account (or create one) and press Allow.
3. Start a new chat, attach a photo and ask. No developer mode and no server URL to paste.

Prompts that work on the first try

• "Stage this empty living room in a Japandi style, keep the walls and windows." (with a photo)
• "Replace the furniture in this bedroom with a modern minimal set."
• "Turn this house photo into a twilight shot with warm window light."
• "Render this hand sketch of a two-storey house as a photorealistic exterior."
• "In my last render, add a large jute rug and swap the coffee table for round oak."
• "Show my Archome credit balance and the style presets I can use."

The photo rules that make staging look real apply in ChatGPT too: corner angle, level camera, the floor in frame, even daylight. Our photo checklist covers all ten.

Why use it in ChatGPT rather than on the website

It is the same engine and the same results, so the choice is about where you already work. If you plan a listing description, a client email or a renovation brief in ChatGPT, the images now arrive in the same conversation: ask for the staging, then ask ChatGPT to write the listing copy around it. The website is still better for batch work, side-by-side comparisons and the full set of 14 tools.

Credits and privacy

• Renders made in ChatGPT use the same credit balance as archome.ai; there is no separate plan. Failed renders are refunded automatically.
• ChatGPT only gets access after you press Allow, and you can disconnect it any time in your Archome settings under Connected assistants.
• Every result is saved to your Archome account with a share link, so nothing is lost when the chat ends.

Frequently asked questions

Can ChatGPT do virtual staging? With Archome AI installed, yes. General image generators tend to redraw the whole picture; Archome is built to keep the room's walls, windows and camera angle and change the furnishing, which is what a listing photo needs.

Is it the same quality as the website? Yes. ChatGPT calls the same rendering engine and returns the same full-resolution file.

What if I do not see Plugins in my ChatGPT account? Archome works the same on archome.ai, and the connect page lists the other ways to use it.

Does it work in Claude? Yes, as a custom connector. See the connect page.

Do staged photos from ChatGPT need a disclosure? Yes, the same as any virtually staged image. Our disclosure guide explains the rules.
