What is the main topic of this episode?
Real people versus artificial intelligence. Some people say that AI is going to replace blue-collar jobs, while others say it's going to make us unstoppable. So who's right? In this video, we're going to break down exactly how bots, wearable AI, and tech like ChadGBT are completely changing the game for home service pros, and why it's either your biggest opportunity or your biggest threat.
How is AI changing the home service industry?
Let's dive in. Yo, so AI is changing the game, especially in the home service and the trade space. Where do you guys see it impacting the most?
It's so crazy how fast it's moving because every day it feels like I'm looking... through the news and there's like a new feature that I didn't know that you could use or that it's a new use case. Just yesterday, I've been going back and forth with this person to see if they're a good fit for the community. I screenshot of the text messages and gave it context of, hey, this is the conversation.
What practical AI tools can business owners use?
I can't get them to book an appointment. How can I get them over the hump? I sent that to ChatGBT with all the context of who I am as a person and how I like to sell. And it gave me a text message that I copied and pasted and they immediately... It was perfect. They immediately booked appointment right after.
So let me just speak to whoever's watching or listening to this right now. If you... If you are using the free ChatGPT, you are literally using a model that was created in 2022. We've had so many other models that existed up until 2025. So one, you got to start paying for ChatGPT. That's like baseline entry level, get into the AI game. Outside of that, there are a million and one tools.
How can wearable AI improve employee performance?
So they actually just released ChadGBT 4.1. Did you hear about this? So 4.1 is like an advanced version of 4.0. And then you have 4.5, which is more for like copywriting and those type of things. But like ChadGBT, we just did a workshop like six weeks ago. And it was wild to me that... Like, how much people's minds were blown from the very basic of AI. I think most people, you guys can agree or disagree, right now are like, they've replaced Google with chat GBT. Most people are using that in some aspect or form, but that is so elementary to really understanding how to create a prompt is so vital in 2025, 2026. And because the prompting, it's amazing, like you can use ChatGBT to learn more about AI. Right.
And so the way that you create the prompt to ChatGBT is going to then dictate how you use AI and everything else, creating automations and everything else. So like that's like base level.
I think there's a, you know, there's a lot of posts out there like, hey, these are the nine ways you should be using ChatGBT. There's a lot of people saying how you should use it. There's also posts out there that are, like, saying, like, I rebuilt my whole CRM in three days or two hours or whatever. So there's a lot of, like, stuff out there that just doesn't... Clickbait. Yeah, it's clickbait.
What are the effective ways to use ChatGPT?
It doesn't really work. And what I'm thinking about is, like, what are the actual things that people should be doing and what are some things that are kind of far-fetched? Because, you know, no one's going to... Who doesn't know how to build software is going to build software with AI, at least today. In a year from now, that could all change. But I think there are some valuable tools. I mean, let's say you're a home service business. What would you recommend prescribed today for someone who's trying to build a business, trying to get more customers? You talked about sales, understanding how to communicate better. What are some other tools?
So I think it's, yeah, how do we integrate it? So first of all, you're wearing a little plaid note pin. So that guy right there, I wear it all the time. It just so happens that mine's charging right now and so I don't have it on, but it's like one of the few times that I don't have it on. So that right there is a game changer in the way that you can utilize AI. So one is like, if I have a sales team, people that are out in the field, I am making them wear a wearable AI that is recording. So essentially what this does is it records our whole conversation. It can distinguish between the technician and the customer, right? And it has voice recognition. The only downside is you have to reset it every three hours.
