“I see other companies using AI, but I don’t know where to start.”
Give yourself permission to put AI to work.
A-Type Research is your starting point: build your company knowledge base and AI assistant in 30 days, with a free community and guided cohorts.
Built for home-service owners and the team member who builds it with them. No technical background needed.
Easy to join. Easy to leave.
See the forest through the trees.
Every week brings a new AI tool, headline, or promise. Those are the trees. The forest is your business: how your jobs actually run, from the first call to the paid invoice. Start there. Look at what your team does today, find the tasks still done by hand, and automate part or all of them with the technology available right now. We teach you the best practices to do it.
You do not need to be technical.
You need to know your business, and you already do. We teach the rest, one step at a time.
You do not need to figure it out alone.
Learn alongside other home-service owners, with live help every week.
You do not need to change everything.
Start with how your jobs work today and one manual task worth automating. Build from there.
Your first steps, week by week.
Understand how your jobs work, document it, then automate the manual parts. The owner picks what matters and checks the results; the team member who implements does the hands-on work. This is the plan for the four-week foundation.
- Week 1
Map the company
Roles, responsibilities, and the customer journey.
- Week 2
Map the work and tools
How jobs and orders move, the software behind them, and a list of the tasks your team still does by hand.
- Week 3
Choose what to automate
Pick the manual tasks worth automating first, and set up your assistant around the knowledge you documented.
- Week 4
Test and put it to work
Check the results against real jobs, decide who keeps it current, and pick the next task to automate.
