The AI assistant for construction & DIY

Good advice was long a privilege of the store counter. Not anymore.

homie AI advises online just as competently as your best sales associate in store – on materials, quantities and projects. Around the clock, even when the counter is closed.

DIYer – construction & DIY advice with homie AI
Challenge & solution

Advice that thinks along with the project.

Your customers get answers instead of product lists – and sales gets fewer queries and returns.

Problem

Products that need explaining – the right choice depends on the project, not the product name.

Solution

Project-based advice instead of product search

Customers describe their project, homie AI recommends the right material – clear instead of technical.

Problem

Large baskets, high uncertainty about quantities – ordered wrong means sent back or not bought at all.

Solution

Buy the right amount

homie AI calculates quantity and material to suit the project – fewer returns, more completed purchases.

Problem

Expertise has so far only been available at the counter – online it mostly goes unused.

Solution

The same advice online and at the in-store kiosk

Whether customers shop online from home or use the self-service kiosk in your store, they get the same expert advice.
