"Sentimentality says 'keep things the way they were.' Adaptability says 'let’s evolve.' That mindset is how we survive." — Chris Kiper

Chris Kiper isn’t just designing homes. He is designing better ways to live, work, and adapt to a world that continues to shift at an accelerating pace.

In his recent TEDx talk, Chris explored how form, function, and fallout affect the spaces we inhabit. But the deeper thread running through his work is the belief that our ability to adapt, rather than cling to nostalgia, is what carries us forward. That mindset now extends into the way he is building and using AI agents.

Chris brings a unique perspective to his Agent.ai builds. With a background that spans carpentry, welding, property management, restoration, and design, he has built a deep understanding of how homes and people work. Now he applies that same insight to agents that save time, build trust, and simplify complexity.

One example is the agent he built to analyze home images and identify recurring architectural patterns. After running it for a client, both of them landed on the same insight. The client trusted the agent’s pattern recognition as much as Chris’s own. "It almost made him trust me more," Chris reflected. "It gave us both confidence that we were making the right decision."

Another example is the zoning and site analysis agents he uses before client meetings. What used to take hours of manual prep now takes minutes. Those meetings now start with trust, not guesswork.

This is what happens when builders take their expertise, pair it with AI, and focus it on real problems.

Chris isn’t building agents for novelty. He is building them to help himself and others adapt. As he said in the interview:

"We know everything's going to change. It always does. So how do we be more adaptable?"

For Chris, building AI agents is part of the answer. Each one reflects his effort to respond to real-world needs with smart, thoughtful solutions.
