Adam Sand predicts AI will become a personal shopping agent for homeowners, assessing roof conditions and matching them with financing and contractors. The real opportunity is the middleware layer connecting AI to service providers. He describes an AI proposing a $200-per-month metal roof plan, estimating size, and scheduling installation without the homeowner contacting brands directly.
It's important to understand the direction, the outcome of AI in a general sense. If we're looking at how AI is going to be in less than 5 to 10 years, we have to understand that AI will shop for you, which means it's going to shop for your customers. Like being the middleware between the purchase and AI is where the opportunity is. And we have to be ready for that middle ground. When you say my roof is leaking or my roof looks old, it's going to say, according to your finances, your banking app, you don't have the money to pay for a roof, but you could afford $200 a month. There's a roofing company that's offering $200 a month for a metal roof, and your size of your roof is this much, and they could have it installed in 6 weeks. If you'd like, I can apply for the financing for you. That is not as far away as you think. So if you don't think someone's just going to order a roof from the AI agent without ever choosing a brand or talking to a salesperson or even going to a website, then you're missing it.
