Canoa · A product of ALPA · Private beta

Your AI specifications manager.

The AI specifications manager small studios couldn't afford to hire. Canoa works inside your FF&E master sheet — sources products, formats specs, scores embodied carbon, and catches what's gone stale before the spec ships.

· What's different

01

Stop starting from scratch.

Drop your last project's spec sheet. Or a Pinterest board. Or a vendor PDF. Canoa works in your sheet, in your structure — adds a couple of columns, doesn't reformat — and enriches what you bring with categories, carbon, vendor links, and certifications.

02

Lives where you already work.

The agent runs in Claude Desktop. The data lives in your Google Sheet. We see the one Drive folder you share with us, nothing else. You don't sign in to a Canoa app, you don't learn a new tab. Your firm's stack stays intact.

03

Catches what you'd miss.

Schedule it, walk away. Canoa runs in the background, daily or weekly, looking for the things that go wrong: stale prices, broken vendor URLs, missing carbon scores, discontinued items. Findings land in your sheet — Google emails you with a deep-link to the row. On for everyone from day one — no separate tier. Free trial, then $4 per million tokens.

· How it works

  1. Step 01

    Install in Claude Desktop.

    Paste the install prompt; the agent sets up your master schedule Sheet and offers to download the FF&E dataset.

  2. Step 02

    Hand it your last project.

    An existing sheet, a Pinterest board, a vendor PDF. Canoa normalizes it into your new master.

  3. Step 03

    Watching turns on automatically.

    Canoa checks your sheet daily or weekly — flags stale prices, broken URLs, missing data — and emails you when something's off.
