Transform Your Design Firm with AI-Powered Client Intake
Stop losing high-net-worth clients to missed calls and email backlogs. Our AI chatbots handle 24/7 lead capture, consultation booking, and project status updates.
Interior designers often find themselves trapped in 'administrative friction,' spending up to 15 hours a week on vendor coordination and project updates rather than billable design hours. With residential projects typically ranging from $5,000 to $50,000, a single missed inquiry or a delayed response to a product sourcing question can result in a lost contract or a frustrated client. Current workflows rely heavily on manual entry into platforms like Ivy or Studio Designer, which creates bottlenecks during the procurement phase.
Read Laboratories bridges the gap between your creative vision and operational efficiency. By implementing an AI-driven interface, firms can automate the initial 'vibe check,' budget qualification, and scheduling of site visits. This ensures that when you finally step into a consultation, the client is already pre-qualified and their data is already synced with your project management software.
Problems We Solve
Missed High-Value Consultations
High-net-worth clients expect immediate responses. If you are on a job site or at a showroom, an AI chatbot captures their project scope and budget instantly, preventing them from calling the next firm.
Repetitive Product Status Inquiries
Clients frequently ask for updates on backordered items or custom furniture timelines. Our AI can pull data from procurement logs to provide instant shipping and delivery updates.
Manual Lead Data Entry
Stop re-typing client details from emails into Mydoma Studio or DesignFiles. The chatbot automatically pushes contact info and project preferences directly into your CRM.
Vendor Coordination Delays
Automate the collection of lead times from fabricators and upholsterers, allowing you to give clients realistic project timelines without manual follow-up calls.
