Home Depot is expanding its AI toolkit for professional customers with the launch of Material List Builder AI, a new feature designed to help contractors quickly create comprehensive project material lists.
The tool allows renovators, remodelers and specialty tradespeople to generate job-ready material lists in minutes by describing a project in natural language, using voice-to-text, pasting in existing lists or starting from prebuilt templates for common jobs such as kitchens and bathrooms.
The AI interprets project intent and produces a draft list organized by project phase, which users can edit before finalizing.
Once accepted, the list populates product recommendations tied to the user’s preferred pricing and local inventory availability, enabling pros to order everything they need from a single supplier.
Saved lists remain accessible for quick reorders.

“Material List Builder AI delivers reliable, comprehensive job lists in a fraction of the time it takes to do this manually.”
