For interior designers · free 30-minute strategy call

My AI systems generated 46,800+ leads this year, with my home-design business leading the way. Now I build that machine for interior designers.

I'm Jon Dykstra. My largest business is a home design and home improvement publication, run on AI: millions of homeowners a year browsing rooms, saving ideas and signing up. I know how they find designers and fall for a look. This system makes sure the right ones find you, and that none of them slip away.

Leads = email sign-ups and home-equity lender leads across businesses Jon owns, Jan 1–Oct 14 2026. Not interior design client results.

Where interior designers lose projects

You don't need more inquiries. You need the right ones, answered first.

Most designers already get inquiries. The projects leak out between the first message and the signed contract.

  • Inquiries sit for two daysYou're on site or sourcing. By the time you reply, they've booked the designer who answered first.
  • Discovery calls with the wrong clientsBudget, scope and timeline come out 40 minutes in. The call should never have been booked.
  • The portfolio lives on a hard driveBeautiful finished projects never make it to Instagram, Pinterest, Houzz or your website.
  • Proposals go quietA US$60,000 proposal goes out and nobody follows up, so it quietly dies.
  • "Not yet" clients disappearThe homeowner planning a renovation next spring never hears from you again.
  • No idea which channel brings the big projectsInstagram, Houzz, Google or referrals? Without tracking, it's a guess.

The proof

Tens of thousands of leads. Millions of visitors. Every day, run by AI.

This isn't a course or a slide deck. It's the machine I run on my own businesses right now: 299 ad campaigns launched in a single week, 145 pages published, and 485 new leads a day, every one followed up and traced to its source.

A design lead isn't a newsletter sign-up. It's a homeowner with a six-figure renovation deciding who to trust with their home. But the machine underneath is the same.

Capture every inquiry, answer in minutes, qualify before anyone books a call, follow up until they sign, trace every project to its source, and keep the right people seeing your work every day. I run that machine on my own home-design business, at a scale few marketers ever touch. That's what I build for designers.

Jon Dykstra. I don't teach AI. I run my businesses on it.

  • Founder, Dykstra AI

In 2025 I went through my businesses one job at a time and gave every job AI could do better, faster and cheaper to AI: the content, the ads, the bidding, the social, the email, the lead follow-up and the reporting. Plenty broke. I fixed it with my own money on the line, and kept what worked.

The result is a lead machine running at a scale most marketers never see: 46,800+ leads, 27.3M pageviews and 1,878 AI-launched ad campaigns this year. I trained as a lawyer and earned an MBA, so I judge every system like an owner: does it make money, does it save time, and can I trust the numbers?

Now I'm building it for interior designers. You get the system without paying for my expensive year of lessons.

The AI operating system for a design studio

Every inquiry, post, proposal and project connected. AI doing the admin.

Your website, Instagram, Pinterest, Houzz, inquiry forms, client software and email all feed one core: the rules that decide what to do, and a memory of which projects and clients were the right fit.

You set the budget, the limits and the words AI is allowed to use. AI answers, follows up, books, measures and tunes inside them, every day.

Optional add-on · custom AI tools

Give your customers a tool they'll actually use.

A tool on your website that answers the question customers are already searching for, then offers an exact quote. We can build whatever you want; here are a few ideas. See tools I've built →

Example concepts
  • Design style quizTwelve image choices in; a named style, a mood board and "book a consult in this style" out.
  • Renovation budget plannerRooms and finish level in; a realistic budget range and the scope it covers.
  • Room layout plannerDrag furniture to scale in the client's own room, then send it to the studio.

What it looks like

A day in an AI-run design studio.

The owner's part is in gold. Everything else runs on its own.

Illustrative example · not a real company's data
  1. The designer gets a text: 6 new inquiries, 2 qualified and booked for discovery calls, 1 "planning for spring" added to the nurture list, 1 proposal due for follow-up.

    You
  2. AI posts last month's kitchen project to Instagram and Pinterest and publishes a project page on the website, all approved yesterday.

  3. A homeowner fills in the inquiry form at 10:15 while the designer is on site. By 10:17 they have a reply with three similar projects and a few quick questions about budget and timeline.

  4. Their answers fit the studio's criteria. AI books a discovery call for Thursday and builds a one-page prep sheet with their inspiration photos.

  5. A proposal sent last week gets its day-7 follow-up. The client asks about timing; AI routes the question to the designer.

  6. AI proposes a test: a "first-floor refresh" offer page for homeowners in two nearby neighbourhoods. The designer approves it from the phone.

    You
  7. Every inquiry, call and proposal is matched to whether it became a signed project. Qualification questions, follow-up timing and posting mix are updated from what actually worked.

Why it gets better every week

Kaizen: the system learns who your best clients are.

Most marketing stays the same until someone has time to fix it. This system improves itself every week. Every inquiry, post and proposal is matched to whether it became a signed project, and the rules change from what actually happened.

Which channels bring the big projects. Which questions screen out the wrong fit. Which posts make the right homeowners reach out. Week 20 is far sharper than week 1, and every lesson is written down so it's never relearned.

You stay in charge

AI does the admin. The design stays yours.

What stays with you

  • The goals, the budget and the limits
  • Approval of big decisions and new strategies
  • Pricing, hiring and customer relationships
  • Judgment calls on brand, ethics and risk
  • Any job AI can't yet do as well as a person

What AI takes over

  • Research, writing, design and production
  • Launching, judging and tuning ads inside your caps
  • Answering, following up and booking leads
  • Collecting, reconciling and reporting the numbers
  • Spotting patterns and proposing the next test

The guardrails

  • Hard spending caps and bid limits
  • Approval steps on anything sensitive
  • Read-only access to your books
  • A second AI checks work before it goes out
  • A short alert when a person is needed

Questions

What designers ask first.

Are your results from interior designers?

No, and we'll never pretend they are. The 46,800+ leads and the charts on this page come from businesses I own and run on AI, the largest being a home design and home improvement publication. What I'm offering is the same machine, built for your studio, on your accounts.

Will AI design anything?

No. The design, the client relationship and the creative judgment stay yours. AI handles the inquiries, scheduling, posting, follow-ups and reporting around them.

Will it sound like me?

Yes. AI writes in your voice, from your past posts, emails and project notes, and you approve the templates it uses with clients. Anything unusual goes to you.

Does it work with HoneyBook, Dubsado or Houzz Pro?

We connect to the studio software you already use wherever its API and your plan allow it. If a connection isn't possible, we'll tell you on the call and work around it.

How does it qualify inquiries?

With a few questions you choose, such as budget range, scope, timeline and location, asked politely in the first reply. Only projects that fit your criteria get a discovery call; the rest get a friendly nurture sequence.

What does it cost?

It depends on what AI should take over first and whether we run it or teach your studio. You'll get a straight answer and a clear scope on the free call.

Free strategy call

  1. Your studio. Your style, your ideal project, your channels and your software.
  2. Where projects slip away. Slow replies, unqualified calls, quiet proposals and "not yet" clients.
  3. What AI should take over first. And what it should be worth. A straight answer, no obligation.
