This page captures the long-form vision behind DomiDo: where the product is going, what the platform offers at first launch, and how it expands from there. It complements What is DomiDo?, which is the shorter orientation piece. DomiDo is developed by Avvyland Limited (United Kingdom) and sells universal blocks and fasteners only; every construction shown on the platform is a user-generated design, which means the platform's contribution to those constructions is the tooling and infrastructure rather than authorship. The vision frames how the AI design surface, the conversion pipeline, the manufacturing chain, and the marketplace fit together into a single product that grows in capability over time.
DomiDo's vision is to democratise physical outdoor construction by making it as easy to build a custom outdoor structure as it is to describe one. The product sits at the intersection of three things: artificial intelligence (turning descriptions and references into 3D models), computational geometry (turning 3D models into buildable block layouts), and physical manufacturing (turning block layouts into objects in the customer's hand). Each capability exists today as a discipline; no consumer product fuses them. The vision is a single continuous experience from "I have an idea" to "I have built it".
The mission is to enable anyone to create, share, and build custom outdoor structures using AI-powered design tools and the DomiDo block system — without specialist knowledge, expensive tools, or contractor dependency. Four reinforcing capabilities make that mission feasible. AI-assisted design translates natural-language descriptions, reference images, or existing 3D models into manufacturable block layouts. A proprietary interlocking block system, with patent-pending self-complementary connection geometry, eliminates the need for specialist construction skills, adhesives, or specialised tools. An automated computational pipeline handles mesh repair, voxelisation, block optimisation, structural validation, bill-of-materials generation, and assembly-instruction sequencing without human intervention. And a community-driven content gallery lets users publish, discover, and purchase designs, creating network effects that strengthen the platform over time.
The platform meets customers at whichever level of digital comfort they bring. Upload mode is the path for users who already have a 3D model — a hobbyist with a Blender file, a professional with a SketchUp model, a maker with an STL export from Fusion 360. DomiDo accepts GLB, GLTF, STL, and OBJ, and the model goes directly into the conversion pipeline. The target latency from upload to viewable block layout is under thirty seconds on the fast solver and under ninety seconds on the most efficient one; the cost to the user is a single credit per pipeline execution. AI mode is the path for users without a 3D model — by far the majority. The user describes the object in plain language ("a raised garden bed, L-shaped, two metres by one and a half, knee height, with a sittable top edge") and may attach a reference photograph for visual style. The platform produces a sequence of preview views (front, back, sides, top, bottom, plus two oblique angles), each checked automatically for quality; the user reviews the previews, approves the ones they like, and regenerates the ones they do not. The approved set is assembled into a full 3D model, which then flows into the same conversion pipeline as Upload mode. Target latency from prompt to viewable model is under two minutes excluding the user's own review time, and the cost is a single per-generation credit allotment.
The initial release — Phase A and Phase A.5 together, as introduced on Start here — is a fully functional software platform. Customers design, browse, comment, follow designers, place non-binding interest, and place pre-orders with card verification. No money moves until manufacturing is triggered for a design. Both creation modes are fully operational and converge on the same conversion pipeline. The content gallery is an open publishing platform where any user can submit a design they created themselves through Upload mode or AI mode, with every gallery entry being user-generated content and DomiDo not curating or supplying a catalogue of finished products of its own. Content goes live immediately with asynchronous AI-driven moderation across previews, descriptions, and tags. Social features include like and dislike voting, threaded comments with moderation, follow-a-designer feeds, collections, and social sharing with rich metadata. Multi-modal search makes the gallery searchable three ways — by natural-language text, by voice with on-device transcription, and by image (uploading a photo of any real-world object to find similar designs) — all three sharing the same vector-search backend. An interactive 3D viewer lets customers spin, zoom, and step through any design in four view modes (assembly step-through animation, source model, exploded block view, and fastener view) and is designed to run at smooth frame rates on mid-range phones for models up to several hundred blocks. Pre-order capability holds card-verified pre-orders in a queue without charging the card until manufacturing is cleared. An admin dashboard supports pipeline monitoring, moderation, customer support, and infrastructure health.
DomiDo's commercial offering is the block system itself: the universal blocks and the matching fasteners that ship in any kit. The platform does not market or sell finished constructions of its own. Every kit is composed from a user-published design, with the customer either authoring a design through Upload mode or AI mode or selecting one from the community gallery. The categories of object the block system commonly enables include raised garden beds, where buyers face a painful trade-off between cheap timber that rots, expensive metal that overheats the soil, and fixed-size concrete that is inflexible — and a user-authored block design fills the gap with custom-sized, ultraviolet-stable beds whose dimensions are tuned to a specific garden's shape and sun exposure, allowing modular tiers and L-shapes. Heat-pump covers are another common case: government policy is pushing heat-pump installations into the hundreds of thousands annually, each producing an aesthetically utilitarian metal box bolted to the house exterior with strict clearance requirements for airflow and serviceability, and a user-authored block design can respect those clearances precisely (the AI mode can retrieve manufacturer spec sheets for each model), reduce fan noise via staggered gap patterns, and offer an accessible alternative to bespoke joinery. Privacy screens are another good fit, since the existing market offers fixed-width timber that warps, brittle bamboo, or expensive composite panels, whereas block designs can be custom-sized in both width and height with patterns ranging from solid wall through lattice to stepped heights and integrated planter tops. Mini-maze walls are a category with essentially zero existing competition, with designs sized for any garden shape, configured for child or adult navigation, tuned in difficulty, and rearranged for replay value. Planters — decorative freestanding planting containers, distinct from in-ground raised beds — let custom dimensions match specific locations (windowsills, balconies, entrance ways), drainage match plant types, and patterns express the user's style preferences. These are example use cases that the block system enables, not products DomiDo ships; the platform's value is in the universal blocks themselves and in the AI-and-pipeline machinery that lets anyone compose a design and order a kit.
Phase B comes online when accumulated pre-order interest reaches the threshold for manufacturing investment. The decision is gated explicitly; an automatic activation is not assumed. Once projected pre-order interest for a kit clears the manufacturing threshold (with cancellation and verification rates inside acceptable bounds), production begins, cards held under SetupIntent during Phase A.5 are converted into PaymentIntent charges, and customers are notified before any charge. Phase B opens three new capabilities. Physical kit manufacturing produces universal blocks by injection moulding using production tooling, with the launch tooling supporting a starter library of block types and additional stock-keeping units added as catalogue breadth grows. A third-party logistics partner runs a single United Kingdom warehouse that picks each kit from the universal block inventory and assembles the unique combination per the bill of materials, targeting most orders shipped within five working days of payment confirmation; returns operate through a workflow that meets and exceeds the United Kingdom Consumer Contracts Regulations minimum window. Designer royalty payouts transition the gallery from open publishing into a marketplace: designers receive a royalty on each pre-order of their design, paid out through Stripe Connect, with the royalty rate set per design within bounds defined by the marketplace policy.
Beyond the initial product, the roadmap extends along several dimensions, each building on what Phase A and Phase B establish. Augmented-reality assembly guidance extends the build companion (which already renders the assembly sequence in 3D, step by step) by overlaying the next block placement onto the live camera feed — the user holds up their phone and sees a translucent block hovering in exactly the position where it goes next. Visual fiducial markers printed on the quick-start card provide the initial registration, and feature-based tracking takes over once the partial build is large enough. Multi-colour blocks extend the launch's single natural colour into a small palette of coloured-compound options (slate grey, terracotta, sage green, charcoal, cream, natural-stone), enabling pattern designs, accent features, and AI-generated colour-blocked layouts; the transition is gated on volume, since each colour requires a separate compound and grows inventory complexity, so colour variants come online when base demand justifies the carrying cost.
International expansion follows the same staged pattern. The United Kingdom is the launch market. The United States follows, with adaptations for imperial units, United States shipping infrastructure, region-specific use cases (front-porch planters, mailbox enclosures, fire-pit walls), and the relevant consumer-product-safety regimes; the United States market for several of DomiDo's common use cases is multiple times larger than the United Kingdom market, with heat-pump and air-conditioner-cover demand particularly differentiated by the much larger installed base of central air-conditioning units. The European Union follows the United States, with metric measurement already native to the platform and adaptations focused on language support, European Union consumer-protection regimes, and CE-marking compliance.
Native mobile applications are a natural next step. The launch platform is delivered as a universal React Native application running on the Web via react-native-web with a Progressive Web App manifest enabling "add to home screen", and the architecture is built from the start to compile natively to iOS and Android without code divergence. Native apps add push notifications, native camera integration for photo-to-design flows, and native augmented-reality capabilities for assembly. Custom exterior blocks extend the universal structural blocks with blocks that retain the standard self-complementary interlocking pattern on their connecting faces but feature a custom-designed outer face — sculpted, textured, organic — enabling structures with a precise internal geometric grid but artistic, natural, or brand-specific external surfaces. Manufacturing modes for these blocks span injection moulding for high volume, polyurethane casting to silicone moulds for medium volume, and 3D printing for one-off pieces; a third-party manufacturing network would integrate local rapid-prototyping companies via a standardised API, enabling local fulfilment of small custom runs with quality enforced by spec.
The Phase A gallery becomes a full marketplace in Phase C with the economic layer activated: designer onboarding and verification, multiple licence types (one-time, multi-use, exclusive), revenue sharing, and design-uniqueness protection via embedding-based similarity detection. The marketplace creates the long-run network effect that the entire platform is built around.
