AI Enhance is a tool powered by Google Gemini that helps you edit and transform real estate photos using AI. You can virtually stage rooms, remove furniture or clutter, add décor and objects, improve outdoor areas, create day-to-night or twilight effects, generate aerial-style views, and apply other enhancements.

It helps you quickly create polished, market-ready images that save editing time and make listings more visually engaging.

Where Your AI Versions Are Stored

AI-generated images are stored together with your original still photos.

Within Still Photos, images are organized into tabs:

  • All – shows all photos

  • AI Enhanced – shows only AI-enhanced photos

Once a photo is enhanced, it appears in the AI Enhanced tab, while the original remains unchanged in the Originals tab.

Important: Use of Artificial Intelligence in Virtual Staging

Giraffe360’s Virtual Staging feature uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) to create or enhance images using Google Gemini.

Generative AI may introduce changes beyond furnishings or decor and, in some cases, may modify the appearance or shape of windows, doors, walls, or other structural elements. Virtual staging may also add, remove, or alter visual elements that were not physically present in the property at the time of capture.

Laws, regulations, and platform rules governing the use and disclosure of AI-generated or digitally altered content vary by jurisdiction and by publishing platform.

You are responsible for determining whether disclosures are required in your specific circumstances and for complying with all applicable real estate advertising, consumer protection, and AI transparency requirements, including ensuring that any required labels, notices, disclaimers, links to original images, or other disclosures are properly displayed when publishing or distributing content created using Giraffe360’s services.
