In episode 74 of the AI for Interior Designers Podcast, host Jenna Gaidusek gets into the idea that tools most interior designers have been using to run their businesses were created by tech companies and accountants, not by designers. And that mismatch has been quietly shaping (and limiting) the way you work for years.
In this solo episode, Jenna breaks down why this happened, why the subscription sprawl is a symptom and not the actual problem, and why AI finally makes it possible to build tools that work the way you actually work — instead of the other way around.
If you have ever felt like your software is fighting you instead of helping you, this episode is for you.
What's covered in this episode:
Why off-the-shelf design software was never really built for designers
The subscription sprawl problem — and how the big LLMs are replacing most of it
What custom dashboards and mini apps actually look like in practice
The proposal builder example: discovery call in, formatted proposal out
Why technology is about to become invisible — and what that means for your business
Why small businesses have a real advantage over corporations in AI adoption right now
The question you need to answer before you rebuild anything: what would your ideal business look like if the technology didn't limit it?
