Industry intel
What's actually moving in the elevator trade. Modernization trends, code changes, OEM moves, and the deals that matter — stripped of the PR fluff.
A newsletter for the vertical trade
AI is reshaping every industry. The elevator trade is worth $100B+ and still runs on fax machines and tribal knowledge. This newsletter connects both worlds — written by someone who works in the hoistway and ships the software.
Weekly intelligence at the intersection of vertical transportation and artificial intelligence. Not news rehash — analysis with a point of view.
What's actually moving in the elevator trade. Modernization trends, code changes, OEM moves, and the deals that matter — stripped of the PR fluff.
Where artificial intelligence meets vertical transportation. Predictive maintenance, computer vision in hoistways, AI dispatching, and what's real vs. what's vaporware.
Analysis from someone who actually turns wrenches. How technology lands when it hits the jobsite — what works, what doesn't, and what the corner office doesn't see.
Elevator mechanic. AI builder. The duality is the point.
I'm a temporary mechanic with IUEC Local 74 out of Tampa, FL. During the day I'm on jobsites — new construction, modernization, service. I've been in the vertical trade for 7 years, most of it at KONE.
I also build AI software. PullSheet is an AI diagnostic tool I built for elevator techs — it has 54+ organic users and growing. IntentMesh is the company behind it. I ship web apps, AI workflows, and tools that survive the real world.
Most people writing about the future of this industry have never pulled a rope or traced a wire. Most people building field service AI have never worked a service route. I do both. That's why this newsletter exists.
