Many homeowners in sunny, warm states are considering solar projects, but they really have no idea how to go about budgeting for one. Let's take a look how you can use advanced AI to create a great budget. First, reasons to have a budget is you want to determine how much you're going to invest in your home. How are you going to pay for it? You're going to need to evaluate bids from potentially different contractors, and if you have a budget, you're much more likely not to overspend. In addition, how does AI create these budgets for users? It really combines the list of all of the materials that are required for a solar What's the dimensions of your roof? What type of products are you going to do? And are you going to hire a contractor or do it DIY? Obviously, with a solar project, most people are going to hire a contractor. So here's HomeZada. It's a digital home management platform. It manages all the data about your house in one place. But let's go to the project section where it's got its dashboard here of projects. And you hit new project, and HomeZada has templates, over 50 of them, of common home improvement projects. So all you have to do is come in here and pick the solar project, and here's the template. You hit Create Project, and the first thing you see on the left is it gives you the ability to kind of do a quick high-level SWAG. Is this low, high, medium? And this is just a high-level sort of aspect of it. You can pick moderate, you're going to use a contractor, and you hit Create Project. Now the mad— first magic happens, which is HomeZada automatically has a template. Of essentially the typical materials that are going to be required. Solar panels obviously on the roof being the biggest, but you got to have a roof racking system, you got to have some equipment to convert power, and those kinds of things. And notice the detailed budgets of all of these are currently zero. Here's where you can engage in the upper right-hand corner, Zotta AI. You click on that and it opens the AI chat window, and this is where it's going to start to create a dialogue with you to essentially help you create a budget. All within your fingertips.

It's calculating essentially the size of my roof, and it's basically creating a unit price estimate. For the project, it being $17,000, right? It's calculating, you know, how many panels, the inverter from direct current to alternating current, roof racking system, and those kinds of things. Now you can even continue to ask it even more questions. Budget for a higher-end system for me. Right? And it's going to come back with perhaps different estimates based on the types of efficiency of the solar panels you want to create, because obviously there are different choices, right? So here you can see the magic of Zada AI is now it's rebudgeting based on a dialogue that you're actually having with it. And here it's basically saying in the— once it returns the list in the table format, in the assumptions section here, you can see it's got high-efficiency panels. And it's estimated the cost, and now you're basically coming up with about $25,000. Now you could always scroll back and continue to engage with Zada AI with different questions.
