How AI is Being Used in the Home

June 1, 2025

Hi Reader,

This week's newsletter is focused on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming home renovations, including new constructions, and the importance of tech-enhanced visualizations for purchase decisions.

A homeowner we know once repainted her dining room three times in three weeks! Unable to visualize the finished product accurately, she kept her painter busy for almost a month until she finally settled on a color she could live with...for the time being.

AI is taking the guesswork and inefficiencies out of visualization, measurements, product compatibility, and project workflows. Today's AI-enabled renovation tools, such as those powered by Hover, are exactly what contractors and homeowners need to minimize dissatisfaction, wasted time, and unnecessary expense.

Even the spatially- and visually-challenged can get accurate representations of their elaborate curb appeal projects even before the contract is signed. Purchases such as furniture, window treatments, area rugs and artful décor will fit perfectly the first time with AI's effortless and accurate measurement abilities.

AI even allows you to perform your own interior design services with virtual staging apps that allow you to change furniture placement, wall treatments and flooring materials. See it, rearrange it, and envision it, before you commit!

Virtual repairs to your home are also possible with AI-powered solutions that allow remote experts to walk you through a DIY repair in the comfort of your home. Even preventive maintenance is AI driven, a boon to homeowners who fear costly unforeseen breakdowns.

A key to learning to live with AI is viewing it as Augmented Intelligence — technology that can assist all of us to be more knowledgeable, capable, efficient, productive, and confident!
