Overview

The creator explains and demonstrates how he overcame the challenge of designing a gallery wall by using the AI tool Perplexity Computer. He shows the process of instructing the AI to build a custom layout app, feeding it a photo and dimensions, and having it pull artwork data from his emails. After showcasing the resulting digital mockup, he hangs the physical artwork and reveals the finished wall, comparing it to the AI's plan and ending with a call-to-action.

Transcript

I turned a blank wall into this using Perplexity Computer. Here's how. I'd been avoiding hanging this artwork in my studio for months. Guessing at gallery wall layouts and putting a ton of holes in the wall sounded annoying. So I had an idea. I told Perplexity Computer build me a gallery wall layout app. I snapped a photo of the wall, gave it the dimensions, walls, windows, all of it. Then I told it to pull the artwork sizes and thumbnails straight from my order confirmation emails. It did that via the email connector. The result, personal software in minutes. I played with arrangements and then landed on this one. No, I started hanging. It gave me every dimension I needed. Here's tier plexity computer's layout, and here's my finished wall. Pretty cool. Comment computer and I'll send you more ways I use it in my life and business.
