Dealers
run on gut feel because the numbers live in three systems and nobody has time to read them.
The AI coach for the whole HVAC channel
HVACGPT.ai is an AI CFO and coaching platform built for the three tiers of HVAC distribution. Dealers ask questions in plain language and get answers grounded in their own books, their distributor's library, and their manufacturer's documents — every source cited, every company's data kept its own.
No card and no checkout. We set you up and invoice monthly.
Three and a half minutes
A dealer's warranty question answered from the manufacturer's bulletin and the distributor's policy, the coach reading a real P&L, the distributor's on/off switch, and the walls between competitors — in the product, not a mockup.
Want the technical version — how the data is fenced, how retrieval works, and why any model works? That's the How it works page.
Why the channel needs it
Secure databases of business development resources supplied by the manufacturer, the distributor, and the dealer, all searchable from one chat. Everything the dealer needs to be successful in profitable growth without the high cost of consultants — and a reason for every tier to keep feeding the network.
run on gut feel because the numbers live in three systems and nobody has time to read them.
publish price books and programs that dealers never open, and have no view of how their dealer base is really performing.
send bulletins that die in inboxes and learn about a mis-handled claim after the customer is already unhappy.
What the platform is
Nine copilots in one chat. Answers to the questions you didn't even know to ask — and to any question you can come up with — through the chat, grounded in your own books and the libraries you are approved for.
Type any question. Specialists are one click away in the sidebar; every conversation is saved and searchable.
Upload P&Ls, price books, contracts, and job reports. Only that dealer — and the copilots working for it — can read them.
Price books, programs, warranty policies, and playbooks published once and searched by every dealer the distributor approves.
Manuals, bulletins, and warranty terms that flow to every approved distributor's dealers automatically.
When the coach uses a document it names the distributor or manufacturer and the file — never blended into its own opinion.
Distributors see averages across their approved dealers. Cohort minimums mean no single dealer's numbers are ever shown.
Each dealer connects Claude, OpenAI, or Grok. Keys are encrypted at rest; the platform never routes a dealer's data through a shared model.
P&L and KPI arithmetic runs in validated financial engines. The model explains; the engines calculate.
Every turn is logged in a tamper-evident ledger so dealers and sponsors can see exactly what was used.
All Contractor sets up each manufacturer, distributor, and dealer, connects and tests the AI, and loads the first documents.
Nine copilots
New chat opens on Ask anything. The specialists live in the sidebar for the deep dives — each one reads the dealer's KPIs and vault, follows the same benchmark-labeling rules, and says plainly where its authority ends and a CPA, attorney, or appraiser begins.
A ChatGPT-style assistant for the whole business, grounded in the dealer's own numbers and documents.
Reads the vault, runs the financial engine, and coaches margin leaks in contractor language.
Close rate, average ticket, and membership attach — without high-pressure scripts.
Turns job scope into a priced estimate using the dealer's labor and margin targets.
Designs membership offers from penetration, callback rate, and plan revenue.
Turns P&L problems into toolbox talks and 30-day tech skill plans.
13-week cash forecasts, annual budgets, and payroll safety through shoulder months.
Pay plans, spiffs, and job posts tied to labor %, ticket, and callbacks.
Normalized EBITDA, what drives a multiple, and what to fix before a sale.
How it works
A distributor approves a dealer. A manufacturer approves a distributor. The dealer inherits both libraries — automatically, for every dealer that distributor has approved. Revoke either link and access ends on the next request. Nothing is shared by default.
In plain language, in a chat that looks like the tools they already use.
On every request: the dealer's vault, plus each distributor library it is approved for, plus each manufacturer library those distributors are approved for.
Semantic and keyword search across everything the dealer is allowed to see — nothing else exists to the model.
With the retrieved documents, the dealer's KPIs, and the peer benchmarks it is entitled to. Every source is cited.
Who it is for
Dealers
Most shops run on gut feel because the numbers live in three systems and nobody has time to read them. The copilots read them for you and answer in your language.
Distributors
You publish policies, programs, and price books that dealers never read. Here they are read for the dealer, the moment the question comes up, with your name on the answer.
Manufacturers
Bulletins and warranty changes die in inboxes. Here a dealer's warranty question is answered from your current document, with your name and filename cited, two tiers down the chain.
Security and data boundaries
A distribution network only works if a dealer's books never reach another dealer, a distributor never sees a rival's library, and a manufacturer's material is always attributed. These boundaries are enforced in the database and the access chain, not just on the screen.
Every company's data is separated by the database itself, not just the application. A cross-company id returns a 404.
The manufacturer → distributor → dealer chain is derived from live approvals every time. Revoke either link and access ends immediately.
Dealer keys are sealed with AES-256-GCM and unsealed only for the request in flight. There is no platform fallback model — an unconnected dealer cannot chat.
Distributors see standardized metrics with cohort minimums. Benchmark cards built from seed_example data are labeled SEED/EXAMPLE — not live industry data — and are never mixed with opted-in peer figures.
Pricing
Every dealer connects its own AI account (Claude, OpenAI, or Grok), so the platform never marks up tokens — the dealer pays its provider directly for what it uses, typically a small fraction of the subscription. Everything is invoiced monthly. No card, no checkout, no seat counting: a dealer subscription covers everyone in the shop.
Individual dealer
$99/ month
per dealer, unlimited users in the shop
Distributor and manufacturer networks
A distributor or manufacturer subscribes on behalf of its approved dealers and is invoiced monthly for the dealers on the platform. Each sponsored dealer gets the full individual plan; the sponsor gets its library in every one of those dealers' chats and, for distributors, anonymized peer averages across them.
| Dealers on the platform | Per dealer / month |
|---|---|
| 100 – 500 dealers | $59 |
| 501 – 750 dealers | $49 |
| 751+ dealers | $39 |
Networks under 100 dealers are billed at the individual dealer rate. Library hosting, dealer authorization, and the distributor peer view are included at every band.
