Houzz Inc., the leading platform for home remodeling and design, has announced AutoMate, a suite of artificial intelligence (AI) tools powered by Houzz Vision AI technologies and generative AI models. This feature is integrated into Houzz Pro, the industry’s leading all-in-one project management and design software, aimed at helping professionals save time and increase productivity by streamlining frequently performed tasks.
“At Houzz, we’re constantly evolving our tools and harnessing cutting-edge technology to help pros run even more efficient and profitable businesses. With AI, we saw the opportunity to automate manual tasks in our software, so we developed Houzz Pro AutoMate,” said Alon Cohen, Houzz co-founder and CEO. “We continue to build out our suite of AI tools, bringing practical applications of the most relevant technology to this industry.”
How does AutoMate improve project efficiency?
For Houzz Pro Takeoffs, AutoMate AI accelerates on-screen measurements by automating manual tasks, allowing professionals to turn bids around faster. When a professional uploads construction plans, the Takeoffs AutoMate feature scans them. Instead of clicking multiple times to identify endpoints of a room or wall segment, a user can simply hover over the desired space and with one click, add the automatically measured wall or area to the measurement list. Additionally, counts can be added by selecting a group, such as doors, and hovering over a door on the plan.
What features does AutoMate Assistant offer?
In the Houzz Pro mobile app, AutoMate Assistant utilizes voice activation to help professionals advance their projects while in the field. This assistant can generate professionally formatted estimates based on voice inputs, including project type, size, location, and scope. The AI-generated estimates come with an itemized list of labor and materials that can be edited as needed.
Moreover, AutoMate Assistant helps professionals stay organized on the job site or while traveling, enabling voice-created notes, assignable tasks, daily logs, change orders, and time and expense entries. It can also assist in finding records and documents, starting a room scan, and pulling up directions to a job site using voice commands.
AutoMate is available to Houzz Pro subscribers in the U.S. and Canada. Houzz Pro provides cloud-based, AI-powered project management and design software that helps professionals manage their entire project lifecycle efficiently. Tools include Estimates, 3D Floor Plans, Selections, Invoices, Online Payments, and more. Sign up at houzz.com/pro.
