The Custom AI Agents Guidebook is a practical handbook for architects and design professionals who want to stop prompting AI and start putting it to work.
A prompt is a sentence you write again tomorrow. An agent is a colleague you brief once. This guide teaches you to build both kinds β Custom GPTs in ChatGPT and Gems in Google Gemini β that automate real tasks inside architectural practice: building code and bye-law research, document and standards analysis, drawing set QA, client brief translation, fee proposals, and visualisation prompt writing.
Everything is built on the INFUSE-R Framework β a seven-part instruction structure that produces agents which cite their sources, hold their format, and refuse to answer when the documents donβt support it. That last part is what separates a research assistant from a liability.
No coding. No API. No plugins. Every agent is built from a form, and every one works on both platforms.
Whether you are a freelancer, an architecture student, or running a studio, this guide turns AI from a novelty into a dependable part of your workflow.
