Welcome to Roofer Growth Hacks! In this roundtable, Chris Hunter and the AI Marketing Experts crew break down the AI marketing tools for roofers and small business owners that will save you hours every week as you kick off 2026 including ChatGPT Projects, AI agents + inbox automation (Comet Browser), NotebookLM, Google Gemini, Claude Code, and voice-first workflows (Whisper/Whisper Flow).
This episode is a practical, no-fluff playbook for using AI as your thought partner and building simple systems that compound all year.
You’ll learn:
- How to start simple with ChatGPT and build toward agents/chatbots (without overcomplicating it).
- How to use agents + browser tools to sort/screen your inbox and surface only what’s actionable.
- How to organize workflows inside ChatGPT Projects and turn inputs into infographics/roadmaps using NotebookLM.
- What’s happening with Claude Code (and why tokens matter if you’re coding with AI).
- Why voice + dictation is about to explode and how Whisper/Whisper Flow fits into daily work.
- Why “people aren’t searching anymore they’re asking” and how FAQ content helps you show up in AI answers.
- Why 2026 is a watershed year for brand visibility in AI recommendations (and what to do about it).
