What Kimi does in interior design

Core tasks in interior design
Where Kimi excels
  • Flagship K3 (2.8T parameters, 1M context) and open-weight K2.6 are self-hostable
  • Multimodal: text, image and video in one architecture
  • Strong in agent work and deep research
  • Affordable API with substantial cache discounts

Kimi has a specific GDPR concern. The parent company is based in Beijing and falls under Chinese security legislation; the privacy policy does not explicitly name that jurisdiction. No confidential data in the consumer app; self-hosting the open weights is the safe route. Weigh this heavily before using it in interior design.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Client room photos are often personal data: they show the home and sometimes people, addresses or personal belongings. Check what happens to uploads in each tool. Coohom may use your uploads and outputs for model training without opt-out under its terms, RaumKI and Planner 5D use (anonymised) data for their own models, Gendo does so on the free plan and ReimagineHome only for its own models with opt-out. Archicad AI Visualizer and Veras say they do not use your data for training, RoomSketcher only with your permission. Many tools process images in the US or Asia (Coohom and Homestyler mention China). For client photos, obtain consent, remove identifiable details and choose a tool with a data processing agreement for project data.

The international service is provided by Moonshot AI Pte. Ltd. (Singapore); according to the privacy policy, data is stored on servers in Singapore and content may be used to improve the service. The K2 models are open-weight and can be self-hosted.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
