Remi 2.0: AI-Driven Roofing Solutions

Victory at the Utah Developer Hackathon was about more than just code; it was about solving a real-world friction point in the roofing industry using the latest in AI and Geospatial technology.

The Problem

Roofing quotes are traditionally manual, time-consuming, and prone to error. Marketing to potential clients with damaged roofs is equally inefficient.

Our Solution: Remi 2.0

We built two core pillars:

  1. AI Roof Analysis: Users input an address, and our system uses the Google Maps API to fetch satellite imagery. ML Vision models then analyze roof dimensions and solar energy potential to generate a detailed PDF quote.
  2. AI Target Marketing: A strategic tool that analyzes whole neighborhoods. Using Transformers and Vision models, we detect roof locations and evaluate their condition (e.g., potential damage) to generate personalized marketing materials automatically.

Impact & Recognition

Competing against some of Utah's top developers, our team (Jonghyuk Lee, Taehoon Kim, Yirang Lim, and myself) secured 1st Place. The judges included leaders from OpenAI, Google, and Y Combinator, who praised the immediate viability of the product.

I'm grateful to my mentors at Pattern® for their ongoing support and for encouraging this kind of bold innovation.
