Collov AI
Collov AI (Collov Labs) is a Redwood City visual-AI company that turns a single phone photo of a room into a fully furnished, photorealistic redesign in seconds. Founded by Stanford PhD Xiao Zhang, it started as an AI interior-design and virtual-staging tool for homeowners, designers and real-estate agents, and is now expanding into broader 'agentic visual intelligence' - systems that read camera input and act on it. The company reports more than 6 million users across 200+ countries and 300+ business customers, and raised a $23M Series A in April 2026 to launch a dedicated research lab.

Xiao Zhang is the co-founder and CEO of Collov Labs (Collov AI), a Redwood City visual-AI company that turns a single photo of a room into reimagined interior designs and staged real-estate listings. A Stanford applied-physics PhD who trained machine-learning models on free-electron lasers before pivoting to product, he is betting that the next interface for AI is the camera, not the chat box. In April 2026 Collov raised a $23M Series A and launched a research lab to push diffusion models, spatial reasoning, and agentic workflows toward AI that understands and acts on the physical world.
