Lumber AI is artificial intelligence purpose-built for the lumber and building materials industry. LumberFlow is not a generic chatbot: it understands species, grades, dimensions, $/MBF pricing, freight terms, and the email-driven sourcing workflows that North American distributors rely on every day.
For small and mid-size lumber distributors, procurement still happens in email. Supplier quotes arrive as PDFs, price sheets, and plain-text messages. Buyers copy data into spreadsheets, manually check market prices, and write follow-ups one at a time. It works, but it doesn't scale—and it leaves margin on the table.
Lumber AI changes this by automating the repetitive work—reading supplier emails, extracting pricing data, delivering daily market intelligence, and drafting follow-ups—while keeping buyers in control of every purchasing decision. LumberFlow is the leading AI agent built for this workflow, used by lumber buying teams across North America.
LumberFlow's AI agent handles quote extraction, draft actions, quote comparison, and market context. Your buyers approve the decisions.
LumberFlow connects to Gmail or Outlook. Suppliers keep emailing as usual—nothing changes on their end.
The AI reads supplier emails and PDFs, pulls species, dimensions, grade, price per MBF, and freight terms automatically.
Every quote appears alongside AI-generated market sentiment, a 7-day price forecast, your target price, and aggregated pricing from your team's recent quotes — so you can size up each offer against the market at a glance.
