The Home Service Expert Podcast · How ServiceTitan Took Over the Trades Industry (Ara Mahdessian) · 16 Mar 2026 podcast

At their houses, they cooked us dinner.

And then we reciprocated anytime they came out to LA.

And so I think organically, this culture was cultivated around Service Titan.

And now you see it even at scale, even at something like Pantheon, where you have three, four, 5,000 people coming to an event.

Of course, it's very insightful and everybody's all about performance now that we raised the bar.

But the level of camaraderie and friendship and a relationship is just the most beautiful thing.

I think to your point, this industry as a whole, that includes you as contractors and us as the software company for the trades, the industry as a whole is seeing far greater level of attention than any time in the past.

Naturally, all of that is because of the incredible success that you and others have seen and how you've built these wonderful businesses in this industry.

And look, I think for a lot of folks, they see the dollar signs and they see an opportunity to come and find a way to make money, which is all great.

You know, competition just results in better products.

So that's all fascinating.

I think the really exciting thing is of all the innovations that have come our way, this AI wave is the single greatest innovation that has ever happened.

And it will result in two things.

One, it will result in those that adapt and embrace it correctly and successfully will see far greater success than what was ever possible before.

But unfortunately, that will come at the expense of those that do not adapt and embrace it.

And unfortunately, they will suffer.

And we see our mission as making sure we help democratize access to this technology and this capability to make sure this is like the one time where contractors are not going to have to play catch up, where contractors can lead from the front.

and have the best-in-class AI and automation tools, and not tools for the sake of having fancy software, but specifically for the sake of these things helping increase revenue and increase profits.

I think what gives me a lot of excitement is when I think about AI impacting industries negatively,

If you probably went to chat GPT and asked which trades are going to be least destroyed by AI, probably the trades is going to rank at the very top, probably literally number one.
