Project inquiries
Turn architecture and design inquiries into fit summaries, budget signals, and consult next steps.
Architecture & design
Turn project inquiries into clear next steps before the day piles up.
Design studios are full of projects that are technically active but practically stalled, waiting on a client decision, a permit response, or a consultant who has not confirmed their deliverable. The principal has usually chased all of it at least once. Imagine keeps the open threads visible and drafts the follow-up so the team can stay on design work.

Design signal
Architects are framing AI as amplification, not automation.
AIA research and commentary argues architects should shape AI around creativity, analysis, and practice operations. Studios can use that lens for proposals, redlines, permits, and reporting.
One architecture & design queue for the workday.

Questions, answered
What work can architecture and interior design studios hand to Imagine?
Imagine handles the repetitive coordination around project inquiries, proposals, decisions & permits, project reporting. It reads the systems your team already uses, prepares the next step, and asks for approval when human judgment matters.
Does Imagine replace our CRM, proposal, project, document, design, accounting, and client messaging tools?
No. Imagine works on top of CRM, proposal, project, document, design, accounting, and client messaging tools and keeps those tools as the systems of record. It handles the operational follow-through between them and records what changed.
Can owners set the rules?
Yes. You set the rules, thresholds, and owners for each workflow. High-confidence work can move automatically, while exceptions and client-facing changes can stay in a review queue.
Make project inquiries feel handled before the day gets busy.
Bring the project inquiries, proposals, decisions & permits, or related workflow that keeps slowing the team. Imagine will show how it becomes a review queue with a full trail.
