About AI4Trades
Built by tradespeople. Powered by AI. You know the trade. We help you find the AI, automation and analytics that fit your business.
Our Story
AI4 Trades didn't start in some Silicon Valley office. It started in the real world, working inside a trades business. Missed calls costing us money. Scheduling so complicated it ate up the whole afternoon. Working 60 plus hour weeks just to keep things running.
After years of personally testing, implementing, and evaluating AI tools inside an established trades company, we discovered something powerful: AI isn't just for big corporations. When implemented correctly, it's transformative for small and mid-size service businesses.
We evaluate the options against the work you need done, test the fit and help put useful changes into practice.
Hard-Hat Experience Meets Modern Tech Strategy
Chris
Chief AI Officer, AI4 Trades
Real Trade Experience Meets AI Innovation
At AI4 Trades, we understand the real-world pressures of running a home services business. From missed leads and scheduling bottlenecks to tight margins and software that field crews refuse to use, traditional trade operations often leak time and revenue.
As Chief AI Officer, Chris brings experience in pest control operations, sales, customer support and business systems to the work. Bridging hands-on job site experience with modern business technology, Chris helps trade owners, contractors, and home service operators modernize their systems, plug operational leaks, and scale predictably.
