Houzz Inc. has introduced a series of updates to sourcing and procurement features within Houzz Pro, aimed at streamlining workflows for interior designers and architects. The latest update sees the Clipper tool become available on mobile, offering a native, AI-powered experience within the Houzz Pro app.
Integrated directly into the app, the AI-powered Clipper enables professionals to capture product details, pricing and imagery from any mobile browser. Items can be saved instantly to a centralised library and added to proposals, selection boards and project budgets, removing the need for additional extensions or third-party tools.
“The future of sourcing is mobile, AI-powered and completely seamless, and now we’ve brought this to the Houzz Pro app”, said Alon Cohen, co-founder and CEO of Houzz. “With the mobile Clipper, it’s easier for pros to capture products from anywhere and easily move from inspiration to execution. Combined with new selection board templates and placeholders, Houzz Pro provides a more complete solution for managing sourcing, selections and project budgets in one place.”
Further updates to the Selections tools focus on improving organisation and visibility across projects. A new clip from URL function allows users to add products directly into a Selections Board by pasting a link, enabling fast specification without additional setup.
Selection Boards Placeholders have also been introduced, allowing designers to map out quantities and product types before final decisions are made. Once specified, placeholders are automatically replaced with full product details, while maintaining quantities and project structure.
In addition, Selection Boards Templates offer a repeatable framework for common project types. Users can save existing boards or build new templates from scratch, helping teams standardise workflows and ensure consistency across multiple projects.
“As interior designers, we’re constantly saving inspiration and product ideas while on the go,” said James Karpin, director at Studio Akiva. “The Houzz Pro Clipper has already made that process incredibly efficient, and the new AI-powered functionality takes it a step a further by automatically adding key product details. It makes a big difference to how quickly we can build mood boards and share ideas with clients.”
The Clipper and Selections tools are available to all Essential package subscribers. The mobile Clipper is currently available on iOS, with Android support expected to follow.
Fully integrated within Houzz Pro, the new features sit alongside existing tools including estimates, invoicing, take-offs, 3D floor plans and mood boards, supporting professionals across the full project lifecycle.
