Finish selection and FF&E specification are where interior design concepts become real. The process involves evaluating hundreds of products against multiple criteria simultaneously — a task that is perfectly suited to AI augmentation.

AI-Assisted Finish Schedules

Instead of manually researching each finish, describe your requirements:

"Generate a finish schedule for a [space type] with these parameters: - Design concept: [paste concept description] - Durability requirement: [commercial/heavy commercial/institutional] - Budget target: [$ per SF for finishes] - Sustainability requirements: [LEED credits being pursued, VOC limits, recycled content targets] - Maintenance: [describe maintenance capacity — e.g., 'daily janitorial only, no specialized maintenance']
