Vertical 05 — Design

Qualified briefs, not tyre-kickers. 

A studio assistant that captures the full brief — scope, carpet area, budget, style, timeline — books the site measurement, and keeps clients updated through the eight-month project without a single 'any update?' message.

The gap

What an unanswered message actually costs.

Numbers from the businesses we deployed into, not from a landing-page generator.

6 hrs

per unqualified consult

Site visit, concept, travel — then no budget.

8 mo

average project length

Eight months of update requests you can automate.

40%

of enquiries under budget

Filterable in five questions, before you travel.

01

Free consultations that were never going to convert

You travel across the city, measure a flat, produce a concept — and discover the budget was a third of the scope.

02

The brief arrives in fragments over three weeks

Carpet area on WhatsApp, style on a Pinterest link, budget in a phone call nobody wrote down, timeline never.

03

Clients ask for updates because you didn't send one

Every 'any update?' message is a project-management failure that costs you an hour and a little bit of trust.

Try it out of order

Answer three questions in one sentence. The agent harvests every slot it can and only asks for what is left.

Try being difficult

Vague answers, typos, changing your mind. The reprompt is designed to stay useful rather than repeat itself.

Try the escalation

Pick the most urgent option and the run branches to the human-handoff path instead of completing the booking.

Walkthrough

Watch it run

An Instagram DM becomes a quotable brief

Scope, area, budget, style and timeline captured in one conversation — with the under-budget enquiry filtered out before anyone booked a cab.

Modules

Four modules. Turn on the ones you need.

Each is an independent n8n workflow sharing one data layer, so you can start with booking alone and add inventory or follow-up later without a rebuild.

Brief Capture Bot

Turns a vague enquiry into a structured brief a designer can quote from — scope, area, rooms, style direction, timeline and a real budget number.

  • Room-by-room scope with carpet area capture
  • Style profiling from reference images and Pinterest links
  • Budget qualification with a per-sqft reality check
  • Possession date and move-in deadline capture

The n8n workflow

Five stages, visible end to end.

Exported as importable JSON. Open it in your own n8n instance, change a prompt, add a node — it stays yours.

  1. 01

    Enquire

    Instagram DM, website form or a referral WhatsApp — the studio's three real intake channels, unified.

    • Instagram
    • Webhook
    • WhatsApp Trigger
  2. 02

    Brief

    The agent walks the full brief structure and stores it as a quotable, structured record.

    • AI Agent
    • Structured Parser
    • Data Table
  3. 03

    Qualify

    Budget is sanity-checked against scope and area. Under-budget enquiries get an honest answer, not a wasted site visit.

    • IF: viable?

    Meet

    Designer matched by specialism, consult booked, brief pack sent to both the client and the designer.

    Deliver

    Once the project starts, milestone triggers drive updates, approvals and payment-stage reminders for months.

Integrations

Wired into what you already run.

Anything with an API, a webhook or a calendar sync. These are the connectors this vertical uses most.

Questions

The ones that actually get asked.

  • It gives per-sqft ranges from your own rate card and is explicit that the final number comes after the site measurement. It will never commit the studio to a figure.

Only meet the clients worth meeting

Bring your rate card and last month's enquiries. We'll show you which ones the brief bot would have filtered — and which it would have closed.
