«RE-FORMA» — A Telegram media channel about updating and refurbishing furniture for absolute beginners. The focus is not merely on aesthetically pleasing pictures of finished interiors, but on the real, step-by-step experience of transforming old items: selecting safe materials, simple cleaning algorithms, error correction, and working without toxic fumes or complex professional tools in a regular apartment setting.

For the RE-FORMA project, several types of sources are utilized. These vary in terms of reliability, method of information acquisition, and the degree of human involvement in their processing. The foundation comprises information regarding furniture restoration, wood treatment techniques, materials for alterations, vintage items, and contemporary interior design solutions. The data gathered is used to prepare useful guides, visual assets, interactive publications, and proprietary content for the Telegram media.

Data Integrity Priority1. Official SourcesPaint, varnish, primer, and other material manufacturers are the primary source for product specifications, application methods, compatibility, and limitations. 2. Professional SourcesRestorers, furniture makers, interior designers, and wood specialists—for refining techniques, practical advice, and expert commentary.3. User SourcesDIY blogs, social media, specialized communities, and subscriber feedback—for inspiration, topic generation, studying personal experiences, and identifying common difficulties

Example WorkflowTo publish «Soviet Nightstand: 48-Hour Transformation Guide, ” the system collects information regarding old lacquer removal techniques, wood surface preparation, painting, and hardware replacement.The editor reviews the recommendations and verifies the correctness of the proposed work stages. Then, AI prepares the publication text and the visual concept description, and the designer formats the material in the consistent RE-FORMA style.The editor approves the final post, after which an automated service publishes it on Telegram.An important feature: if information about the furniture’s condition, material compatibility, or the safety of the chosen technique is absent or contradictory, it cannot be presented as a verified recommendation.

For RE-FORMA, we propose utilizing four automated services. Each service has its own function, operational rules, and limitations.All services operate using a unified editorial database. Automation speeds up the material preparation process, but the final decision regarding publication is always made by a human.

The guidelines define the operating rules for four automated services: the data collector, the AI editor, the visual content generator, and the publication scheduler.The main objective is to accelerate the creation of high-quality content about furniture restoration and DIY projects while maintaining a unified visual style and factual accuracy. Automation covers the entire process—from information retrieval to publication and statistics analysis. Special attention is given to fact-checking, copyright, recommendation safety, and editorial review.

01. CopyrightPhotographs, texts, and references are used in compliance with copyright law. Publication of third-party materials is permitted only with the necessary permissions.02. Editorial OversightAI assists in content creation, but the final decision always rests with a human. Every piece of content undergoes review before publication.03. Limitations of Creative AutomationAI suggests ideas and visual solutions but does not always account for the actual properties of materials or furniture characteristics. Therefore, creative concepts require editorial evaluation.04. AccuracyAll technical recommendations must be based on verified sources. Unconfirmed information is not published as an established fact.05. SafetyAI cannot independently guarantee the safety of restoration technologies. Recommendations are checked against manufacturer instructions and professional sources.Core Principle: Automation accelerates the RE-FORMA process, but quality, creative direction, and responsibility remain with the human.
