How I Stopped Despairing Over the Backyard Mess and Started an AI Side Project

Short summary

A developer solved their backyard-redesign problem using ChatGPT's visual guidance and decided to build a product around it. The planned app will let users upload space photos, specify style preferences, and get AI-generated design concepts plus practical suggestions for gardening, renovation, or decor. This is the start of a side-project journey from problem discovery to OpenAI API integration.
