The problem
Design projects should not live in five different places.
Most studios juggle Pinterest boards, vendor links, email threads, and spreadsheets. Clients get confused. Budgets drift. Approvals slip through the cracks.
Scattered product links
Selections live across tabs, spreadsheets, and vendor sites — hard to find when clients ask.
Approvals buried in email
Yes/no decisions get lost in long threads and text chains with no clear record.
Clients unsure what to do
Without a clear view, clients don't know what needs their attention or by when.
Budgets drifting quietly
Approved and pending costs add up without a shared picture of where the project stands.
Too much time chasing decisions
Designers spend hours following up instead of moving the work forward.
How it works
A simple workflow from first consult to final approval.
Kadra keeps the project moving without turning your studio into a complicated platform.

Kady
Kady, your AI studio assistant
Ask Kadra what needs attention — from missing prices to overdue tasks and client approvals.
Kady is our planned AI assistant for interior design studios. The goal is simple: help you understand what is happening across projects without digging through every tab. Ask about budgets, selections, tasks, approvals, and missing details — then review suggested next steps before anything changes.
Kady helps you find what needs attention without digging through every project, table, and tab.
- Ask questions across projects
- Find missing selection details
- Summarize project status
- Surface budget risks
- Identify overdue tasks
- Prepare safe action suggestions
Designed to stay careful
Kady is being designed around Kadra’s permissions. It should only work with the studio data you can access, and any meaningful changes will require confirmation.
Kady
Concept preview
Westbourne Residence has 3 selections missing prices, 2 client comments awaiting reply, and one task due tomorrow.
Suggested next step
Create tasks for missing prices
Stage 1
Read-only studio intelligence
First, Kady will help you ask questions across your studio — from missing selection prices to overdue tasks and budget risks — without changing your data.
Stage 2
Suggested actions with approval
Next, Kady will suggest helpful actions — like creating tasks for missing prices or preparing a client update — and wait for your approval before anything changes.
Stage 3
Voice and trusted workflows
Later, voice dictation and trusted workflows could let designers update Kadra faster while reviewing boards, sourcing products, or leaving a client meeting.
Client portal
One client link. Clear decisions.
Clients should not need to learn design software. They open one link and see exactly what needs their attention — approvals, comments, and project overview.
- Approvals
- Comments
- Project overview
- Budget visibility
Files and invoices will come later — the portal is built around what clients need most: clear decisions on the work in front of them.
