After Spending $100k on Windows, He Found 80% of the Industry Doesn't Use AI

Maker entrepreneur tibo shared his home renovation experience: spending $100k on windows through a nightmarish process — confusing choices, constraints on every detail, and high costs. More striking: roughly 80% of people he talked to in this industry don't actually use AI (beyond random free ChatGPT queries).
His takeaway: the gap between traditional physical businesses and AI is a massive opportunity. If starting from zero, he'd build an AI-native physical business and prepare for the robotics wave.
