Top 10 Ways to Start Using AI in Your Closet Company Today

No sci-fi degree required. Just smart shortcuts and better margins.

1. Analyze Your Reviews for Gold (and Landmines)

Use AI to read all your Google/Yelp reviews (and those of your competitors) and summarize:

• Top compliments (“Designers were amazing!” → double down on them)

• Frequent complaints (“Poor communication” → time for a script or SOP)

• Brand perception (“Affordable custom” vs. “Premium luxury”)

Tool tip: Paste all reviews into ChatGPT or Claude and ask:

“What themes do you see? What should we fix or highlight in our marketing?”

2. Build a Smart Photo Database

Stop digging through your camera roll. Use AI to:

• Auto-tag photos by room type, finish, lighting style, layout

• Let your team search “two-tone reach-in with drawers” and actually find it

Tool tip: Use something like Sharepoint and r Picsella or Lightroom with smart tagging + a chatbot layer

3. Draft Job Descriptions & Interview Questions

Need a new installer? Designer? Office admin?

Use AI to generate:

• Role-specific job postings

• Behavioral interview questions

• Training checklists based on real tasks

Bonus: You can generate different JD versions for Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and your internal culture deck.

4. Turn Internal Emails into SOPs

Instead of writing the same “Please don’t forget to email clients a day before install” message again…

Feed those emails into ChatGPT and ask:

“Write a professional SOP and a checklist from this thread.”

5. Create Sales Follow-Up Sequences

AI can write:

• Warm follow-up emails

• Texts that don’t feel like a robot wrote them

• Upsell drip sequences (“Have you considered lighting?”)

Tools like Mailerlite, Microsoft Copilot, or even Canva Magic Write can help you build these today.

6. Spot Problems in Service Ticket Data

You’ve got service tickets. Now let AI show you the patterns:

• Which accessories fail most?

• Which installer has the highest callbacks?

• Which room types have the most trouble?

Feed your notes into a spreadsheet, then ask:

“What trends do you see here?”

7. Build a Design FAQ Bot for New Designers

Tired of answering the same questions?

Train a bot on your install guidelines, design standards, and price list.

Think: “Can I span 36” without a support?” → Boom. Instant answer.

Use Microsoft Copilot Studio or ChatGPT custom GPTs.

8. Summarize Appointments

Record an appointment (with permission), or voice-dump your notes post-appointment. Then ask:

“Summarize this client’s design preferences and budget. What follow-ups should I do?”

Great for sales managers too:

“What did this designer do well? Where can they improve?”

9. Generate Social Media Captions from Photos

Upload a finished project photo and say:

“Write 3 Instagram captions for this custom pantry in a playful tone.”

Let AI vary tone, hashtags, and CTAs so your feed stays fresh without burning your brain.

10. Simulate Client Objections in Sales Roleplays

Need to train a new designer? Or want to practice price objections?

Ask AI:

“Pretend you’re a hesitant client. Push back on price, timeline, and value. I’ll reply, and you respond like a real person would.”

We here at Nesting Systems are fascinated by the potential for the effective use of AI in closet company work and leadership ok forward to helping our business customers integrate these solutions into their workflow.
