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 practice a useful workflow with guidance. Leave with a first draft to test in your business.

Join the waitlist for the next workshop. We’ll email you when a date is set. 2.5 hours, start to finish. Bring a laptop.

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. They bring the practical experience of putting these tools to work in their own business. See the examples in our read the case study.
