About the project

What Kuester Design was facing

The challenge

Interior design work depends on creative judgment, client trust, and careful project execution. But the business around the work also includes lead follow-up, proposals, invoices, drawings, specifications, and coordination that can consume time and attention.

The challenge was to imagine AI as an operating layer for the business, helping the team move administrative and production workflows forward without crowding out the creative work clients value most.

About the project

What we built

Agentic OSLead GenerationProposal AutomationSpecification WorkflowsDesign Operations

We designed an agentic operating system for Kuester Design that supports lead generation, proposals, invoices, drawings, specifications, and delivery workflows.

The system concept connects the recurring business workflows that surround commercial interior design: intake, sales follow-up, proposal drafting, invoicing, document preparation, drawing support, and specification management.

CoPilot shaped the operating model around agents that can assist each step, keep context moving, and help the team spend more energy on design decisions and client experience.
