WHAT DOVETAIL DOES
The specification workspace.
With an AI second set of eyes.
Dovetail helps interior designers, builders and residential developers turn material selections into detailed instructions for the people pricing, ordering and installing them.
Organize rooms and product records, keep supporting documents together, and use AI to examine missing fields, conflicting revisions and the knock-on effects of a change. Your team reviews the findings and controls what gets issued.

THE INTELLIGENCE IN THE DETAILS
Not another answer.
A better next decision.
AI that reads across your project context, explains what needs attention, and prepares the next step for a person to approve.

THE MOMENTS THAT MAKE OR BREAK A HANDOFF
Small decisions.
Project-wide consequences.
Three illustrative situations show where structured specifications and AI reasoning work together. These are workflow examples, not customer testimonials.

ONE CONNECTED SPECIFICATION
The beautiful part.
And everything behind it.
A finish is more than a picture. Keep the product, dimensions, installation notes, source, and approval attached to the same decision.
THE SPACE IS THE VISION. THE SPEC MAKES IT BUILDABLE.LESS RECONSTRUCTING. MORE DESIGNING.
Keep the intent.
Lose the guesswork.
The hard part is rarely choosing a finish. It is making sure the latest choice reaches the right people, with every detail they need.
Dovetail brings structured room specifications together with project-aware AI, so decisions remain understandable from the first selection to the builder’s handoff.

A workflow that
holds together.
One selection should not create five disconnected conversations. Carry its context forward instead.
Make the spec complete
Extract the useful details into room-based fields. Review what AI found and what is still missing.
Coordinate the decision
Compare versions, resolve conflicts, and record the people responsible for approval.
Issue with confidence
Prepare a clear, revision-aware specification package for the team doing the work.
BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE WORK
Not born in a pitch deck.
Born in a design studio.
Dovetail grew out of the specification work at Dana Lynch Design: the real complexity of choosing, documenting and coordinating the details of residential construction.
That hands-on origin shapes a simple standard for the product. A beautiful selection is only useful when the next person knows exactly how to carry it forward.
A FEW IMPORTANT DETAILS
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Is Dovetail replacing the designer?
No. The designer sets the intent and approves the selection. AI supports document reading, completeness checks, comparisons, and preparation of structured work. It does not make the creative decision for you.
What does the AI actually work with?
Dovetail brings room schedules, product sheets, approved selections, supplier messages, and project standards into a shared context. Source availability and connected workflows are scoped with each team.
Can AI approve a material substitution?
No. A comparison can highlight dimensions, finish differences, pricing assumptions, and open questions. The responsible project team still approves substitutions and any associated cost or schedule change.
Can I try the workflows here?
Yes. The interactive examples show sample project records and prepared findings. They let you inspect sources and export a review without uploading private project documents.
Do you support construction-code verification?
AI findings are not a code-compliance opinion, engineering approval, or installation authorization. Qualified project professionals and current manufacturer instructions remain essential.
