Intiaro Introduces Dating App for Furniture OKSOFA.ai

Finding the perfect sofa may soon feel a lot like finding the perfect date. Intiaro unveiled OKSOFA.ai, the first-ever dating app for furniture, designed to help shoppers discover pieces that match their personal taste through a simple swipe-based experience.
The idea behind OKSOFA is simple, according to the app’s visionary, lead engineer and Intiaro CEO, Pawel Ciach: researching and buying furniture is remarkably similar to dating. The experimental concept invites users to browse furniture displayed in a variety of stylish room setting and swipe right if they like what they see—or left if they don’t.
“Looking for the right sofa is almost identical to looking for the right partner,” said Ciach. “There are analytical aspects—size, functionality, durability—but there’s also a strong emotional component. In the end, visual appeal matters a lot and often becomes that deciding factor.”
OKSOFA explores whether those preferences can be learned quickly through interaction. The platform presents users with a series of furniture pieces displayed in different interior settings. Users swipe right to ‘like’ items, left to ‘dislike’ or pass, and star any they want to consider for purchase.
After as few as 10 to 20 swipes, the system begins identifying patterns in what the user responds to—learning not only preferred furniture styles but also favored room aesthetics, layouts and atmospheres. As the system refines that “taste vector,” explains Ciach, the next set of products and spaces adapts to reflect the user’s emerging design profile.
The experience is powered by large libraries of photorealistic product visuals that place furniture into a wide range of interior environments. Using scalable visualization technology, a single product can appear across many different room scenes and design styles without requiring traditional photography.
Intiaro describes OKSOFA as a showcase of what a future direct-to-consumer furniture retail experience could look like—one where brands and retailers better understand each shopper’s aesthetic preferences and dynamically adapt the content they present.
One important detail: OKSOFA is an April Fool’s prank. But the technology behind it isn’t.
Intiaro’s AI Photo Studio already allows furniture brands to generate photorealistic lifestyle and product images at scale—placing products into countless environments and styles in minutes instead of weeks.
“On a serious note, we plan to launch the Customer Taste Discovery Service this year, which will give retailers and brands the ability to use the power of AI to learn customer taste and make recommendations on the fly,” said Ciach.
