The Challenge of Modern Homeownership

‍Owning a home is complex—there are a lot of systems, appliances, and service providers to keep up with. Missed maintenance or undiagnosed problems can lead to skyrocketing energy bills, expensive repairs, and even health risks like mold or poor air quality. Shipshape’s solution? A personal AI assistant that not only alerts homeowners to potential issues but also guides them through resolving them.

“With SAM, homeowners no longer need to be experts in home systems,” said Alexander Linn, Founder and CEO of Shipshape Solutions. “Our AI assistant, powered by ChatGPT, can diagnose problems, recommend tailored solutions, and connect homeowners to trusted service providers. It’s like having a 24/7 virtual handyman for your home.”
