How to Use AI in Houzz Pro

Using Houzz Pro AutoMate AI is one easy way to improve the productivity and efficiency of your business. It allows you to streamline tedious and time-consuming tasks so you can prioritize other things that move your business forward.

Our AutoMate features are incorporated in several different areas throughout the desktop experience, including:

• Financial Documents
• Estimate to Schedule
• Daily Logs and Notes
• Takeoffs
• 3D Floor Plans
• Clipper

Please Note: The desktop AutoMate experience does differ from the mobile app AutoMate experience — to learn more about mobile, read How to Use AI in the Houzz Pro Mobile App.

Let's go over how AutoMate is used to improve each feature.

AutoMate Financial Documents

In Financial Documents — including Estimates, Proposals, Invoices and Change Orders — you can use Houzz Pro AutoMate AI to quickly create a new document from scratch or edit an existing document to include more details.

With this feature, you type in an in-depth project description into the AutoMate prompt box, or use voice commands to explain the details of your project. AutoMate will then create document line items and categories based on your description. You can edit and further customize your financial document as needed.

You can create an AutoMate-generated document from both a desktop computer or the Houzz Pro mobile app.

It will also review the text and suggest potential tasks for you and your team to complete, which ensures you never miss anything on your to-do list.

AutoMate 3D Floor Plans

In 3D Floor Plans, you can use Houzz Pro AutoMate AI to create a new floor plan, or even customize an existing floor plan with the exact product you plan to use in your design.

Create New Floor Plan

To start, upload a 2D plan, and our AutoMate AI will scan it and build an accurate, detailed 3D floor plan based on that design. You can then further edit and customize your floor plan as needed. Read How to Create a 3D Floor Plan to learn more.

Create Custom 3D Product

To start, select a 2D product from your Houzz Pro product library (you can use the Clipper here to help). Our AutoMate AI will scan that 2D image and create a detailed 3D version of it. This 3D product can then be added directly to your 3D floor plan to use throughout your designs. Read How to Add a 2D Product to Your 3D Floor Plan to learn more.

AutoMate Clipper

In Clipper, you can use Houzz Pro AutoMate AI to automatically fill out product details so you don't have to manually input field-by-field. It makes adding products to your Houzz Pro product library faster and more accurate.

With this feature, our AutoMate AI extracts product information from any vendor website and automatically maps it to the correct Clipper fields. It will even pull product images — you can select up to 5 relevant images to include with your product.
