📌 We're pushing launch by a week — here's why (and how you can already try it)!

Hey everyone!

We were ready to launch this week, but we decided to delay the official launch by seven days. We didn't hit a wall; we want Aera Vibe to feel right from day one. This is especially true on mobile devices.

👉 Aera Vibe on Product Hunt

This week, we're doing something radical. We're testing it as real users, on real devices, in real homes. This helps us find and fix problems, and improve the experience.

But here's the fun part:

🟢 You can sign up now.

🧠 You can already create your visual taste profile.

🏡 You can already compare it to real interiors.

💬 You can tell us if something feels off or magical.

We believe in building with the community, not just for the community. If you're reading this, you're early, and we're listening. I love it! ❤️

👉 https://vibe.aera.rent

Tell us what you try, what you love, and what you'd change.

We'll be back next week with a version that's ready for the public.

But for now, it's already real, and that's something to celebrate! Come play! 🌟💫✨

Where do you find your potential clients and reach out to them (respectively, what kind of channels do you use?

Sergei Kovalev
Launching soon!
@busmark_w_nika, thanks for the question! Nika, we’re targeting two segments: 1. Design-aware renters & homeowners (B2C). They use Aera Vibe to analyze their style and compare it to real interiors. 2. PropTech & retail partners (B2B). Agents, developers, design studios. We integrate where visual taste matters — rental portals, smart staging, and design-led discovery flows.

@skovalev Interesting, have you ever targeted your ads on other "house-based/accommodation" platforms, like Booking, Airbnb, or platforms for décor inspiration? (e.g. Pinterest)

@busmark_w_nika, B2C channels: product-led growth via visual-first ads on Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, Dribbble, etc. B2B channels: API integrations with CRMs, PropTech platforms, and home decor marketplaces.

@busmark_w_nika, Not yet — we haven’t launched ads on platforms like Airbnb or Booking so far. Right now, we’re finalizing the product and shaping the go-to-market strategy with our marketing team. Aera Vibe is a standalone entry point to the larger Aera ecosystem, and once the core “paid-worthy” features are in place, we’ll be testing distribution across both inspiration (like Pinterest) and accommodation platforms. We’re also actively showing the product to design professionals and developers to refine value-fit before scaling outreach.

@busmark_w_nika, curious to hear if you’ve seen any great examples of similar positioning in this space ❤️

@skovalev To be honest, deco and housing are not my main topics, I just remember how big the boom was with AR a few years back, so people could try to see how things fit in their rooms. :)

Sergei Kovalev
Launching soon!
@busmark_w_nika, that’s exactly the vibe I’m chasing — playful, visual, a bit futuristic. Maybe we should test a mini-experience like that together? Something like «Does this Airbnb match your design DNA?» — in AR, or even just with images. Let’s brainstorm if you’re up for it? 🥰
Nika

@skovalev Do you have AR options as well? :D

Sergei Kovalev
Launching soon!
@busmark_w_nika, we don’t have AR functionality implemented yet. But your question made me think… AR enhancer that analyzes your current apartment in real time. Technically, that could mean scanning a room and overlaying evaluations like style-match percentage, visual noise detection, or layout improvement suggestions — based on your taste profile. It’s not developed yet, but the concept of comparing your actual space to a reference aesthetic in AR might be more relevant than simulating a different one. Worth exploring.
Nika

@skovalev Cool, how could we test it? :D

Sergei Kovalev
Launching soon!
@busmark_w_nika Haha, honestly this idea literally popped up yesterday thanks to your comment 😅 Right now we’re focused on hitting product–market fit for the core experience — taste profile, property matching, and visual feedback. But once that foundation is strong, this kind of AR extension could be a super fun (and useful) next step. We’re definitely keeping it on the roadmap backlog. If you’re up for ideating together later — I’m in 💯

Hello.

What is this?

Sergei Kovalev
Launching soon!
@chrismessina, hey Chris! Aera Vibe is a neural taste profiler for interiors. 1. You upload the styles you love. 2. We build your design DNA. 3. Then show how well real apartments match your taste. It’s like “Spotify Wrapped”, but for spaces. https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
Sergei Kovalev
Launching soon!
@chrismessina, and we’re kinda obsessed with seeing how far this can go. What if taste could replace filters? What if your visual preferences were the interface? Still early — but the beta’s already usable. Would love your take, especially on where this could fit in the broader “taste tech” space. https://vibe.aera.rent

Launching soon!

@skovalev definitely interesting — would be great if you allowed importing a Pinterest board, since I already collected my interior taste over there!

Sergei Kovalev
Launching soon!
@chrismessina, yep! Importing from Pinterest (and other moodboard-type sources) is 100% in the plan. In fact, we originally designed this flow for the core Aera platform (https://aera.rent) — to pull style cues directly from things like Pinterest boards, or Instagram saves. Aera Vibe is the standalone taste engine, but it’s running on the same core — so yes, that feature will land here too 😎 🙌 Appreciate the validation — you’re spot on 🔥 Curious if you’ve seen anyone do this really well? Always hunting clean flows. Behance? Houzz? Milanote?

Product looks amazing mate. Just few cents from my side, being a fullstack web dev:

I'd suggest adding a few more details to your landing page. Right now, it's simple CTA. Perhaps, you could add few examples, how it works etc. No doubt the CTA is amazing and people will definitely wanna try it out but once they hit the `Analyze` button, in my opinion, they'd be in the dark and ask themselves what to do next.

Other than that, it's really amazing.

@jealousgx, I truly appreciate your kind words. You're so right! We were so focused on getting the core flow live that we skipped that part. You're so right about the CTA! We've got some great plans to add a few handy examples or maybe even a mini preview so people aren't lost right after hitting Analyze. Thank you so much for pointing that out. It's such a helpful thing to know. If you have time, would love your take once we push the next version 😁

@skovalev Definitely. Would like to try this product out once it's out!
