An AI Agent For The Procurement Side Of Interior Design
So much of design is project management. Your agent checks order status on vendor trade sites, updates the FF&E schedule, drafts POs and client invoices in Studio Designer or Houzz Pro, and writes the status email before the client calls.

Where The Day Goes
-
Vendors Don’t Send Tracking
The sofa shipped “sometime last week” and the client wants to know if it’ll arrive before Thanksgiving.
-
Status Calls You Never Priced In
Anxious clients call about orders, and every one of those calls is time you don’t bill.
-
Approvals Stall While Lead Times Grow
Selections sit in the client’s inbox, and the chair that was six weeks out is now twelve.

Handle Damage Claims And Returns
When a piece arrives damaged, it gathers the photos and the PO and drafts the claim to the vendor or the receiving warehouse.
Ask In Your Own Words
Type it in a project chat, or send it from your phone. Your agent does the work and reports back in the thread.
- Check every open PO for the Whitman house and update the tracker.
- The Hollis dining chairs are backordered 10 weeks. Find two in-stock options from our usual vendors and draft a note to Claire.
- Claire approved the rug and the lamps. Draft her deposit invoice and the two POs.
- Write Friday’s update for the Patel project. The console arrived; the sectional is still on the truck.
- The receiving warehouse says the mirror came in cracked. Pull the photos and draft the claim.
- Which selections are still waiting on client approval across all projects, and for how long?

Questions From Interior Designers
Can it sign in to vendor trade sites?
Yes. You connect each one once at Settings › Connections, and the login stays in the Vault. The agent uses it without ever seeing the password.
Does it work with Studio Designer, Houzz Pro or Programa?
Yes. It works in your design software the way your coordinator would, updating items and drafting documents from its own browser.
Can it source products?
It can look through the vendor sites you name and suggest pieces that match size, finish and lead time. You choose.
Will it place orders by itself?
No. Orders spend money, so it builds the order and waits for your OK by default.
Can it update clients by text?
Octopus Prime has no texting line. It drafts emails, or messages in your design software’s client portal, for you to approve.
Does my agent see my passwords?
No. Your logins stay in your Vault, a safe your agents can use but never read. You connect each app once at Settings › Connections and choose which agents can use it, and you can remove that access at any time.
Hand the busywork to your agent. You stay in charge.
