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

And in industries where the work is just purely cognitive, those are the industries where AI is going to replace these businesses.

Most aggressively.

And then in industries like the trades where the work is very much cognitive, but also involves a lot of physical dexterity and movement in uncontrolled environments, like technicians having to crawl into attics and crawl spaces or get on top of rooftops.

Like it's going to be a very long time before, I don't know.

And Optimus version 14.0 is able to do that.

And so that disruption isn't going to happen from the outside.

This industry, the demand for it is going to continue to be resilient.

But even in these industries, like the trades, what's going to happen is the disruption is going to happen between the players, those that adapt and embrace AI and automation.

are going to increase revenue and become wildly more profitable.

And then what do you do, Tommy, every year that you generate immense profits?

You take those profits and reinvest it in more growth, right?

Reinvest it in better lead generation and whatnot.

And what's going to happen is guys like you that automate are going to be able to pay a higher price for the next incremental lead.

And so you're going to start to consolidate most of the lead volume.

That's going to come at the expense, unfortunately.

All of the contracting businesses that don't automate, that don't see increased profits and can't match the level of spend you're going to make.

And guys like you are going to be the bigger winners.

And you'll build even more phenomenal businesses than ever before.

It's because you run such an efficient, such a profitable business.

It's going to depend on the trade.
