Workflows
Start from the job you need done
Studio is organised around workflows, not features. Each one names an input, a job, an output, and the person who stays responsible for it.
Avisual Studio is the visual agent workforce for interior businesses. A workflow is a defined visual job: what you bring, what a specialist agent team produces, and what your staff member reviews before it reaches a client. Three workflows are open today.
Choose by business moment
Design development, client review and approval, or employee-led customer consultation.
Visual work in an interior business tends to cluster around three moments: developing a design, getting a client to approve it, and helping a customer decide in front of a product. Each moment has a different input, a different audience, and a different definition of done.
You do not need to know which agent team or which model applies. Name the moment you are in, and the workflow that belongs to it is the one to read. Using one does not commit you to the others.
Choose by bottleneck
Waiting, revision, misunderstanding or customer hesitation — and the workflow each one points to.
We are waiting on visuals.
The visual step is a queue: one visualiser, or one external supplier, and everything downstream waits on the slot. Design visual production is the workflow that lets your own staff start that work and review what comes back.
We go through too many revisions.
Direction gets argued in words and each round trip is a fresh interpretation. Client review and approval is the workflow for producing versions your client reacts to directly, and for recording what they decided.
The client misunderstood what we showed them.
A drawing that is clear to a designer is not always clear to a client. Design visual production turns the drawing into something a client can read; client review and approval is where you confirm they read it the way you meant.
The customer hesitates in the showroom.
The sample is small and the room is somewhere else. Human-led visual sales consultation is the workflow your salesperson runs to show a real product surface in the customer's own room, while the salesperson stays in the conversation.
A workflow is a job with a defined start and end
You do not choose a model or a setting. You choose the job, and the workflow decides which specialists run.
Most visual tools ask you to know what you want before you can start. A workflow asks a simpler question: what do you have, and what do you need to show?
Each workflow below states the inputs it accepts, the output it produces, which agent teams do the work, and where your staff member's judgement is required. If your job is not one of these three, it is not open yet — and this page will not pretend otherwise.
Three workflows are open today
Two design workflows and one sales workflow. Each has published evidence and a working route.
Design visual production
You have a drawing, a sketch or an unfinished render, and you need an interior visual your client can read. Four stages: scene design, drawing-to-interior, lighting and mood, editorial presentation.
Explore design visual productionClient review and approval
You have a prepared visual and you need your client to react to it, mark it up, and come back with a clear decision. Studio produces the versions; your team runs the conversation.
Explore client review and approvalHuman-led visual sales consultation
Your salesperson is with a customer and needs to show a real product surface in the customer's own room. Category pathways cover tile, quartz and stone, flooring, paint, panels and cabinetry, and furnishing.
Explore visual sales consultationWhat each workflow is for
Four facts per workflow: best for, starts with, produces, and does not replace.
- Design visual production — best for
- Design and cabinetry teams that need an interior visual a client can read, from a drawing, a sketch or an unfinished render.
- Design visual production — starts with
- An elevation, section, plan, hand sketch or unfinished render, plus the direction the visual has to follow.
- Design visual production — produces
- A reviewable interior visual, with a record of what was preserved from your source and what the agent team inferred.
- Design visual production — does not replace
- It does not replace construction documentation, a designer's judgement, or a technical check of dimensions.
- Client review and approval — best for
- Teams whose visuals are ready but whose approvals stall in email threads and verbal feedback.
- Client review and approval — starts with
- A prepared visual your staff member has already reviewed, and the question you need the client to answer.
- Client review and approval — produces
- Versions your client can react to and mark up, and a record of the decision your team then acts on.
- Client review and approval — does not replace
- It does not replace the conversation with your client, and it does not approve anything on your behalf.
- Human-led visual sales consultation — best for
- Showrooms, retailers and material brands whose customers cannot picture a product surface from a sample.
- Human-led visual sales consultation — starts with
- A photograph of the customer's own room and the product surface they are considering.
- Human-led visual sales consultation — produces
- That same room with the selected surface in place, shown while your salesperson is still with the customer.
- Human-led visual sales consultation — does not replace
- It does not replace the salesperson, and what is on screen is not a colour-calibrated match to the physical product.
What each workflow has to show
A workflow gets a page here once it has a working route and a worked example behind it.
Each workflow page carries its own worked example: the source that went in, the direction given, the output that came back, what the agent team preserved, what it inferred, and what the result cannot be used for.
Every published visual carries one of four labels, and the four are not interchangeable. A controlled demonstration shows capability under defined, controlled conditions. A representative example shows a normal supported use case and realistic expected behaviour. A case study shows use within a real customer process, including business or operational outcomes where available. A product claim is a factual statement supported by current product behaviour, approved documentation or measured evidence. Read the label before you read the picture.
Design visual production and client review and approval are separate workflows, not two halves of one. The first produces a visual from your source material. The second takes a visual you already have and runs the conversation that gets it approved. A team can use either one without the other.
Human-led visual sales consultation is operated by your salesperson during a conversation with a customer. It is not a self-service tool you hand to a customer to run on their own, and nothing leaves for a customer without your staff member deciding to send it.
What changes in the business
The value sits downstream of the process change, not in the pictures themselves.
The visual step changes
Each visual job starts from a named input with a named owner, instead of joining a queue behind one specialist.
Staff capacity changes
Your specialists spend more of their time on the judgement calls and less on repeat production work.
The conversation changes
The client or the customer sees the option while the conversation is still open, with your staff member present.
What a pilot has to measure
Whether any of this moves a number in your business is something a pilot measures on your own work. This page does not promise it.
What is not on this page
Capability that is not validated does not get a workflow page.
Marketing visual production — campaign imagery, catalogue sets, social assets — is a later expansion. It is not one of the flagship workflows today and there is no route for it.
If the job you need is not one of the three above, the honest answer is that Studio does not do it yet. Ask Studio Consultant and it will tell you the same thing.
What Studio does not do
The limits are part of the product. Read them before you plan work around Studio.
- Studio produces communication visuals, not construction documentation, and does not verify dimensions.
- Studio does not approve a design, a specification, or a technical decision.
- Every workflow is operated by your staff. None of them is a self-service tool for your customer.
