AI for the Trades

You know AI can help. This is where you start.

A hands-on evening for home service business owners who’ve been meaning to put AI to work, but have never found the time. See what’s possible from operators who’ve actually done it, learn the foundation, and build one real workflow live. You walk out with a job off your plate.

Dates announced soon — join the waitlist and you’ll be first to know. 2.5 hours, start to finish. Bring a laptop.

Who it’s for

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, tree care, roofing, cleaning — owner-operators and their office managers. No technical background needed. If you can send an email, you’re qualified.

What you’ll leave with

01

A clear mental model for putting AI to work — how to give it context, skills, and tools so it does real work, not just answers questions.

02

Real examples from Amherst Nurseries — the actual systems a 25-year-old local operation runs every day.

03

One simple system you build yourself in the room, ready to use the next morning.

What to build next, and how the Assessment works

Who’s teaching

Taught by Jon and Claire, the husband-and-wife team who own Amherst Nurseries — a 25-year-old landscaping company and tree nursery in Hadley. They’ve turned it into a tech-enabled operation, largely with AI: more time to work on the business, grow it, and actually enjoy the freedom owning it was supposed to give them. These aren’t tech consultants. They’re home service operators who did this in their own business, and the systems you’ll see tonight run there every day — read the case study.
