How to Use ChatGPT to Plan and Prep for Your Move
Planning a move can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. With AI tools like ChatGPT, you can create checklists, generate box counts from photos, and even design floor plans for your new home. Pair AI planning with LiteMovers for a smooth, stress-free move.
Why Use ChatGPT for Moving Prep?
- Packing Lists – Customized lists for every room.
- Timeline Planning – Week-by-week countdowns.
- Decluttering Guidance – Keep / donate / sell suggestions.
- Budgeting Help – Rough estimates for supplies, movers, and storage.
- Neighborhood Research – Schools, commutes, permits.
- Image Analysis – Inventory from photos + box count estimates.
- Space Planning – Floor plan layouts for your new rooms.
Step 1: Analyze Pictures to Build an Inventory
Snap a few photos of each room and ask ChatGPT to identify items and generate an inventory. It can also flag fragile or oversized pieces that need special packing.
Prompt to try: “Create an inventory list from this photo and estimate how many small, medium, and large boxes I’ll need to pack it.”
Step 2: Generate Box Counts and Packing Supply Lists
With photos and brief notes, ChatGPT can estimate small/medium/large boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, tape, bubble wrap, paper, and moving blankets.
Prompt to try: “Based on these kitchen photos, estimate how many dish packs and medium boxes I need. Include a packing materials list.”
Step 3: Create a Floor Plan for Your New Home
Upload a basic floor plan (realtor plan or sketch with dimensions) and ask ChatGPT for layout options that maximize space and flow. Share your preferred layout with our crew so we can place furniture exactly where you want it.
Prompt to try: “Here is the floor plan for my living room (15×20). I have a sectional, TV stand, coffee table, and two armchairs. Create three possible furniture layouts.”
Step 4: Combine AI Planning with Professional Movers
AI is great for planning, but it won’t pack a kitchen or carry a sofa. That’s where LiteMovers comes in. We turn smart prep into a safe, efficient move—local, long-distance, or senior relocation.
Sample ChatGPT Prompts
