“We wear a lot of hats here… sometimes it could take a day before we can get back to people. And this really helps streamline the decision-making.” – Evan Gouzie, Hi-Fi Vents
When you’re running a lean startup, time is your scarcest resource. For Evan Gouzie and his team at Hi-Fi Vents, juggling product design, customer service, and operations meant customer questions often had to wait. In the HVAC world, where projects involve architects, contractors, and homeowners, delays can quickly stall momentum.
That’s where bringing agentic technology into the mix made all the difference.
Hi-Fi Vents built an AI-powered buying guide agent trained on their catalog of 100+ 3D-printed parts. Instead of sifting through PDFs or waiting on email replies, customers now get tailored recommendations in real time:
“Just go look at these… here’s a link, this one is your best bet, but you might also consider this.”
For builders, the takeaway is clear:
What’s especially interesting here is the industry: HVAC. A space not traditionally associated with cutting-edge AI now has an agent sitting at the heart of the customer journey. It’s a reminder that the best agent use cases are often hiding in plain sight, inside workflows that look “old school” on the surface.
For builders in the community: where else are you seeing “hidden agent opportunities” in industries that aren’t usually first-movers on tech?
