HOW BUILD-A-WAY AI IS GIVING TRADESMEN THEIR TIME BACK | With Ashton Hilliard | Business Spotlight

In this episode of Business Spotlight, host Everardo Recendiz speaks with Ashton Hilliard, Co-Founder and CEO of Build-A-way AI, about his mission to eliminate administrative chaos for small home service businesses. Built for teams of one to five, Build-A-way AI helps plumbers, electricians, and HVAC professionals reclaim their time by automating up to 80–90% of back-office work.

Inspired by his father’s struggles as a solo entrepreneur, Ashton explains how Build-A-way AI functions as a “zero-input CRM,” automatically handling inbound calls, scheduling, and invoice generation using AI and automation. By removing these daily friction points, the platform saves tradesmen two to six hours per day—time typically lost to paperwork after already working long hours in the field.

Ashton also shares how a non-technical founder can scale an AI company through strategic partnerships with nonprofit trade and workforce organizations, venture backing, and a relentless focus on execution. The conversation closes with Build-A-way AI’s ambitious growth goals and Ashton’s advice to business owners: keep going, even when it’s hard.
