In a bid to help customers get better designs and ideas when doing a makeover of their homes, offices, and other spaces, IKEA has launched its new AI Assistant that will help complete the new look for users. It is now available in the GPT Store, particularly as it uses the GPT large-language model from OpenAI to bring intuitive suggestions and ideas to match the customers' needs.
Using AI to plan and design a space aims to bring a quick and easy application whenever creating a new look, leveraging IKEA's products in the process.

The Ingka Group announced a new technological development available for the world to experience, and this is the IKEA AI assistant that is powered by OpenAI's GPT. This new AI tool will help deliver intuitive information for users that will bring new design ideas that will fit their descriptions and prompts regarding a specific space, offering AI-powered ideas to bring to life.
According to the company, the IKEA AI Assistant is now available from OpenAI's GPT Store, helping users with a more personal touch to offering designs.
The new IKEA AI Assistant on GPT Stores is an ongoing initiative, and the continuation of a journey that looks to enrich the retail experience and explore additional avenues to interact with our customers and coworkers, as they help us improve and develop further.

Through the IKEA AI Assistant, users may get articulated designs that are specific to their needs, also offering customized recommendations for various applications including small homes and apartments. It will also leverage IKEA's catalog which has thousands of products available in different designs, bringing inspiration to help design and transform places and spaces.
IKEA's Smart Home Developments and Tech
Despite being popular for its home and office furniture, fixtures, accessories, and iconic Swedish foods, IKEA is also one to innovate on the products widely available to consumers from its stores. Since the era of smart homes started, IKEA positioned itself to be a part of it, with multiple developments available, including the Vindstryka smart indoor air quality monitor.
The Swedish ready-to-assemble and DIY furniture company also went big with smart home developments throughout the years, known for its Matter integration and being part of this coalition among the Big Tech. Amidst Matter's release, IKEA launched the DIRIGERA, a smart home hub that supports Matter, compatible with most of the tech offers available here, including Apple's HomeKit.
Before this new AI assistant feature from IKEA and OpenAI's GPT, the company also had a virtual design tool that will help give inspiration and fitting looks for one's room.
IKEA's new AI assistant from the GPT Store will bring a combination of its virtual design tool and the LLM's power, helping users get a more intuitive inspiration and design instantly.
