How to Visualize a Renovation Before It Happens with Copilot
Visualize a Renovation Before It Happens with Copilot and ToolRouter. Upload a before photo and get a cinematic timelapse showing the transformation to a finished state.
Tool
Share the before photo and project details and Copilot will produce the timelapse with workspace-integrated project documentation. This fits when the video is part of a tracked renovation project or architectural proposal.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Renovation Timelapse tool:
- Share the before photo, project brief, and workspace documentation format.
- Run `renovation-timelapse` with `create` to generate the transformation clip.
- Ask Copilot to create a project asset entry: project name, space type, design direction, video URL, and approval status.
- Add the entry and clip to your project workspace.
Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the Renovation Timelapse tool
Use renovation-timelapse to create a timelapse for this 1970s kitchen. Design direction: modern white cabinetry, quartz countertops, warm lighting. Then add a project asset entry: Project Name, Space Type, Design Direction, Video URL, Approval Status: Pending Client Review.
Tips
- Track approval status so the project team knows exactly which visualization is awaiting client sign-off.
- Use the project name in the video filename so assets are traceable across multiple spaces in the same project.
- Ask Copilot to flag if the before photo is too low resolution to produce a quality transformation output.
