Key Things to Know
- Jetbuilt will showcase Recommend, its AI-powered system design assistant powered by the company’s proprietary Jetbot engine, at CEDIA Expo 2026.
- Recommend generates equipment suggestions and complete system starting points based on a user’s project requirements.
- The tool works natively inside Jetbuilt, so recommendations flow straight into estimating, proposals, project management and installation workflows.
- CEDIA Expo 2026 runs Sept. 1-4, 2026, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.
- You can see Recommend in action at Jetbuilt booth #1728.
What Does Jetbuilt’s Recommend Do?
Recommend helps residential integrators design systems faster by turning project requirements into a complete starting point in seconds. Integrators can describe an entire project or individual spaces, and the tool builds equipment lists, quantities and system configurations. It preserves the products, brands and design approaches already established within their business, so the output reflects how a firm actually works.
The goal is efficiency. By handing integrators an accurate, comprehensive baseline, Recommend cuts the repetitive engineering work that slows every project down and moves jobs from concept to proposal in a fraction of the usual time.
How Does Jetbot Power Recommend?
Jetbot is Jetbuilt’s proprietary AI engine, and it powers every suggestion Recommend produces. It’s been trained for years on audiovisual design practices, integration standards and extensive product documentation. That training lets Recommend read a set of project requirements and respond with practical equipment lists and system configurations rather than guesswork.
Jetbot also adapts to each firm. It draws on a company’s historical projects and preferred manufacturers, so the recommendations line up with the way that integrator designs and specifies systems.
What Makes Recommend Different From Generic AI Tools?
Recommend differs from generic AI tools because it’s built on proven design methodology, not theoretical output. Where a general-purpose tool might return abstract suggestions, Recommend creates practical system recommendations grounded in real integration standards and product data.
That difference matters on the job. The tool adapts to each integration firm’s past projects and preferred brands, giving integrators recommendations they can trust and refine instead of starting from scratch.
How Does Recommend Fit Into Jetbuilt Workflows?
Recommend operates natively within Jetbuilt, so every recommendation flows directly into estimating, proposal generation, project management and installation workflows without re-entering information. Once the tool builds a project framework, integrators keep control of the design.
They can refine it manually or prompt Jetbot to make adjustments, swapping products, changing quantities or modifying individual spaces without rebuilding the project from scratch. The result is a continuous workflow from first draft to finished proposal.
What Does Paul Dexter Say About Recommend?
Paul Dexter, chief executive officer and founder of Jetbuilt, says Recommend is built to remove the repetitive work that slows projects rather than replace the designer.
“CEDIA Expo is where residential integrators come to discover technologies that will immediately impact the way they work,” he says. “Recommend is not designed to replace the system designer. Instead, it is designed to eliminate the repetitive work that slows every project down. By giving integrators an accurate and comprehensive starting point in seconds, they can spend more time refining the design, serving their clients, and winning more business.”
What Can Integrators Expect at Booth #1728?
Integrators can expect a live look at Recommend at Jetbuilt booth #1728 during CEDIA Expo 2026, Sept. 1-4, 2026, at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. The demonstrations will show how the tool accelerates system design, reduces repetitive engineering work and moves projects from concept to proposal.
Attendees can also see how Jetbot helps integrators design faster while keeping the workflows, brand preferences and standards that make their businesses successful. It’s a practical, hands-on way to judge whether the tool fits your process.
