Stage 2

Use the Concept Assistant

The assistant turns a rough build idea into a structured concept brief. It is for intake and planning only, not professional design approval.

Sign in before running the assistant so the AI run can be tied to the user account.
Enter the client's rough build idea in plain language.
Review structured intake, missing information, template ranking, and review questions.
Use the visual handoff link to continue into Studio.

Stage 3

Open the Visual Handoff

The handoff route carries template, goal, location, bedrooms, and floor values into the visual editor.

Confirm the incoming concept details.
Use Continue to Studio editor to open studio.habivista.com.
Keep Habivista as the system of record and Studio as the heavier visual workspace.

Stage 4

Understand the Studio Editor

The Studio editor is the visual workspace for walls, rooms, zones, levels, openings, roof, export, and review workflow.

Stage 5

Edit the Brief and Apply to Model

The Brief tab controls project setup. Apply to model rebuilds the starter scene from the current brief and selected template.

Edit project name, goal, template, location, floors, bedrooms, plot size, rooms, budget, parking, style, and use.
Click Apply to model after changing the brief.
Applying the model does not submit anything to Azunus.
The MVP saves drafts in browser local storage.

Stage 6

Export or Buy a Report Pack

The Export tab is the client take-away path. The Habivista report pack is separate from raw scene export.

Current package price: GHS 450.
Includes PDF concept report, printable HTML report, Markdown brief, SVG layout, and project JSON.
Payment is handled by the central Habivista Payments layer.
Downloads should unlock only after payment verification.

Stage 7

Send for Azunus Review

The Review tab frames the professional handoff. It helps decide whether Azunus, an architect, a quantity surveyor, or another professional should review next.

Confirm plot dimensions, access, boundary, and site information.
Confirm budget fit, land-use fit, parking fit, and family or rental goals.
Repeat that the output is concept-only and needs professional review.

Stage 8

Use Mobile for Review

Mobile works well for review and handoff links, but desktop or tablet remains better for dense visual editing.

Use mobile to review the concept, brief, or saved handoff link.
Use desktop for demonstrations, scene edits, report export, and client working sessions.
The editor opens on mobile, but the controls are intentionally compact.

Scene structure

Know what the editor is showing.

Studio separates the site, building, levels, walls, openings, zones, slabs, ceilings, and roof so the model can stay understandable as a concept sketch.

2Building
3Level
4Wall with items such as doors and windows
5Slab, ceiling, roof, zone, scan, and guide references

Troubleshooting

Fix the common demo blockers.

Most issues come from feature flags, sign-in state, local draft state, or payment verification.

Open visual Studio button is missing

Check HABIVISTA_FLAG_CONCEPT_STUDIO. The preferred deployment value is true, although 1, yes, and on are also accepted.

Assistant says sign in is required

Sign in through the normal Habivista login page. The assistant uses client auth context, so a server cookie alone is not enough.

Run Concept Assistant is disabled

Confirm the user is signed in, HABIVISTA_FLAG_CONCEPT_STUDIO_AI is enabled, and the prompt includes a short build idea.

Studio opens with a stale scene

Add reset=1 to the Studio URL or click New project. The MVP stores drafts locally in the browser.

Export download is disabled

Payment must be verified first. Do not bypass central payment verification for real users.

Mobile controls feel cramped

Use desktop for editing. Mobile is supported for review and light changes, but the editor has dense controls.

Operator checklist

Before a live client session.

Confirm Concept Studio loads.
Confirm Open visual Studio is visible.
Confirm Studio loads the 3D editor.
Confirm no broken toolbar icons are visible.
Confirm assistant sign-in works.
Confirm Apply to model updates the scene.
Confirm Export shows the report pack and price.
Confirm Review shows professional handoff guidance.

Production launch reminders

Add server-side report order storage, server-side PDF and ZIP fulfillment, persistent projects beyond local storage, and admin visibility for paid report packs and review requests.
