Building Different: From Construction Sites to Building with AI
From Power Tools to AI: A Contractor's Unexpected Journey
Here's something wild - yesterday I woke up at 3 AM with an idea buzzing in my head, and by 7 AM, I had built an AI agent with memory capabilities. Not impressed? Well, here's the kicker: I'm a contractor, not a programmer. The most coding I've done in my life wouldn't fill two pages of a notebook.
Let that sink in for a moment.
I run Walls Home Pros, where my usual tech involves measuring twice and cutting once. But lately, I've been playing with tools that are way different from my usual hammer and saw - I'm talking about AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini.
You know what's crazy? While everyone's freaking out about AI taking their jobs, I'm over here having the time of my life figuring out how to make AI work FOR me. It's like having a super-smart apprentice who never gets tired and is always eager to learn.
What I've Actually Built (With Almost Zero Coding)
Remember, I'm the guy who's more comfortable with drywall than Python. But in the past few months, I've created:
- An AI agent that actually remembers our conversations (that's the 3 AM project!)
- Systems that help manage my contracting business
- Personal assistants that make my daily grind so much smoother
Why This Matters (Even If You're Not a Tech Person)
Look, I've always said success comes from having the right team around you. These days, my team includes some AI assistants. They help me with everything from writing up proposals to planning projects. And the best part? I didn't need a computer science degree to make it happen.
Real Talk
If you're reading this and thinking, "That's cool, but I could never do that" - stop right there. I'm living proof that you don't need to be a tech wizard to make AI work for you. Remember, just a few months ago, I was exactly where you might be now - curious but clueless about AI.
Want to Start Your Own AI Exploration?
Here's the thing - I've been where you are, and I know how overwhelming it can feel. If you're curious about using AI in your business but don't know where to start, shoot me a message. I'm not selling anything fancy - just offering to share what I've learned as someone who's figured this out the hard way.
Whether you're a fellow contractor, small business owner, or just someone interested in AI, I'd love to help you avoid the mistakes I made and find your own way to work with these incredible tools.
Drop a comment below or reach out to me directly. Let's figure out how AI can work for YOU - no coding experience required.
Remember: If a contractor who spends his days handling home improvements can build AI tools at 3 AM, imagine what you could do with a little guidance and curiosity.
P.S. - Still think AI is too complex? Let me know what's holding you back. I bet I've had the same doubts, and I'd love to show you how I got past them.
