Part of our Founders & Executives agents
AI agents for founders and executives in interior design
Actionist is an AI automation tool whose agents operate the apps your studio principals already use, from rebuilding the project picture by hand every Friday to a roll-up that assembles itself.
Studio principals get back the hours lost to status chasing, inbox sorting, and deadline tracking.

Where you spend your time
We know how your week actually goes
Running a design studio means being the last stop for every decision while also being the face of the work. The principal's week disappears into status questions, forwarded threads, and approvals that wait on a single signature.
These agents handle the assembling and the chasing across your project tools. You keep the rulings, the client relationships, and the design direction.
- A brief built around your site dayInstall windows, client presentations, and showroom visits laid out beside the open threads that touch each one.
- Every project's phase and risk in one viewConcept, design development, procurement, and install status rolled up so slippage shows before the Friday review.
- Decisions queued with the context attachedChange orders, markup requests, and agreement terms arrive as a short brief to rule on, not a thread to excavate.
- An inbox sorted by who is writingClients, architects, builders, and press are separated, with routine replies drafted and held for your approval.
- Capacity set against the pipelineBooked hours per designer are compared with signed and pending projects, so hiring and refusals come from numbers.
- Your hours go to the work only you can doTrade-fair, award, and renewal dates surface early, leaving you the design direction and the client relationships.
And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..
An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Interior Design Founders & Executives team's day.
Where the hours go
The principal's inbox mixes clients, architects, builders, press, and showroom reps, and every one of them expects a personal reply from the person with the least time.
An agent sorts senders into those groups, drafts the routine replies for your approval, and posts only the threads that need you to Slack.
The Friday partners' review starts by asking each designer where their projects stand, then retyping the answers into a list that is already stale.
An agent reads the time tracker, project sheet, and milestone dates and assembles the roll-up, flagging slippage for you to rule on.
Change orders, markup requests, and agreements wait on one signature, so projects stall while you dig through threads for the context to decide.
An agent prepares each decision as a short brief with budget and install-date impact, and holds it for your ruling, never acting on it.
Nobody notices the studio is overbooked until a designer is, and trade-fair, award, and renewal dates arrive a week too late to act on.
An agent sets booked hours against the pipeline and keeps a dated radar of fairs, entries, and renewals, raising each in good time.

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens
Your agents watch the apps you already use and act the moment something happens, usually within about a minute, handle it based on your instructions, 24/7.
Each weekday morning the agent reads your calendar, notes which projects have a delivery, install, or client meeting today, and pulls the latest open thread on each from Gmail. The brief lands in Slack within about a minute of the schedule firing, so you leave for the first site already knowing what is waiting.

You stay in control
An agent working on the principal's side sees client addresses, budgets, and agreements, so control matters more than speed. Actionist is built so you approve what leaves the studio, rule on every decision yourself, and see exactly what the agent read.
Replies to clients, architects, and press are drafted and held. Nothing is sent in your name until you approve it, unless you widen autonomy through Approval Modes.
Change orders, markup exceptions, agreement terms, and hiring are prepared as briefs. The agent shows the numbers and the context, and you make the call.
Decisions and drafts reach you where you already are, so you can approve a reply from a site visit without opening the laptop.
Budgets, floor plans, and agreements are encrypted, never used to train AI models, and every file the agent reads or drafts is logged for you to audit.
