OverKill Hill P³ · Incubator Project · Evolved into AskJamie™ BrandGuard™
A live, working experiment with Builders FirstSource that answers a hard question: who tells your story inside large language models when they become the default interface?
Originally built as an OverKill Hill P³ project, BFS Framing Intelligent Futures became GPT‑BFS01 — the first AskJamie™ BrandGuard™ lens. It turns public BFS knowledge into a conversational expert for wood‑frame construction, and quietly routes every meaningful path back to BLDR.com.
Prototype only · Uses public information about Builders FirstSource · Not an official corporate product. For official details, go to BLDR.com.
This project started as a very personal OverKill Hill P³ question: “If BFS is our house, who’s protecting it in the AI era?” The creator has spent 13 years at Builders FirstSource. Their spouse, daughter, and other close family members also work there. BFS isn’t just an employer; it’s the economic house the family lives in.
BFS Framing Intelligent Futures was the incubator answer: build a tangible custom GPT that claims semantic territory around “Builders FirstSource” inside large language models — before that terrain gets settled by default.
A public‑only, BFS‑aligned GPT that behaves like a seasoned insider on:
It explains, educates, and then hands off to official BFS channels. It does not touch internal systems or proprietary data.
If OverKill Hill P³ is the R&D universe, BFS is the first house on the hill. It’s where the creator’s livelihood sits. That made it the ideal proving ground for the thesis:
“In the next decade, people won’t start with search. They’ll start with an AI interface. Whoever that interface has learned from first will quietly own the conversation.”
BFS Framing Intelligent Futures was built to stake that claim early.
As the project matured, its pattern became clear: a reusable chassis that could protect any brand’s story in the model era.
That pattern became AskJamie™ BrandGuard™, with GPT‑BFS01 as the first live lens.
This project is less about one company and more about a sociotechnical inflection point.
For 20+ years, the game was: own the domain, rank in search, capture the click. Users typed queries, search engines redirected them to your website, and your pages told your story.
In the emerging model‑mediated world, users ask an AI directly. The interface itself:
The model becomes the new front door.
For OverKill Hill P³, the strategic insight is simple: whoever first teaches the model, wins disproportionate influence.
In practice, that means:
BFS Framing Intelligent Futures is a live example of that land grab in the lumber + components space.
On the personal level, this project is about protecting a house: the company that pays the mortgage and funds the futures of multiple family members.
On the systems level, it’s about proving that any serious brand can:
The best way to understand BFS Framing Intelligent Futures is to look at the conversations it handles — calmly, concretely, and always within bounds.
A multi-generational yard owner in the Ohio River Valley is quietly considering selling to BFS. They don’t want rumors, panic, or damage if nothing happens.
The prototype explains BFS’s acquisition playbook for family yards, outlines confidential Corporate Development paths, and drafts a respectful introduction email — all from public information.
A driver on I‑15 wants to report a BFS truck that cut them off near St. George, Utah.
The GPT routes them to the correct local yard and corporate safety contacts, explains what details to capture, and sets expectations around how incidents are traced via dispatch and GPS.
A Montana superintendent is striking out on his own. His former employer is also a BFS customer, and he’s worried about information cross‑contamination.
The GPT walks through confidentiality, account separation, credit setup, and how to ask for a neutral sales rep — even drafting the email to a regional market manager.
Two coworkers in North Texas are thinking about building a house. They want to know who BFS is, what it provides, and why they’d use it vs. big‑box.
The assistant explains BFS as the structural backbone (not the GC), how it supports builders and owner‑builders, and where legacy consumer‑facing brands like Dixieline and Spenard fit.
A framer in Portland wants to know how many 2×6×104‑1/2" studs they can safely haul in a pickup, and how many trips a unit will take.
BFS Framing Intelligent Futures calculates board‑feet, approximate green weight per stud, unit weights for common piece‑counts, and suggests safe payload‑based trip counts.
A builder is comparing READY‑FRAME® against stick‑framing.
The GPT explains how the digital‑to‑physical workflow works, what independent studies have shown for cycle‑time and waste reduction, and how BFS uses prefabrication to ease labor constraints and improve safety.
Curious users ask about BFS culture, Glassdoor/Yelp reviews, and BLDR’s stock volatility.
The assistant synthesizes public ratings, recurring employee and customer themes, macro housing headwinds, and executive biographies — without spin — and points back to official BFS investor materials.
The BFS project is important on its own — and as the seed of a larger system.
AskJamie™ is the persona and design discipline that grew out of this work: part masterclass web designer, part GPT architect, part calm explainer of complex systems.
On the OverKill Hill side, Jamie builds experiences and instructions that:
BrandGuard™ is the name for one of the lens within the Lens System which emerged from BFS Framing Intelligent Futures:
GPT‑BFS01 is the BrandGuard · BFS lens. The same pattern can protect any serious brand that wants to be known accurately and early in AI interfaces.
OverKill Hill P³ is the experimental universe this project lives in. P³ stands for:
BFS Framing Intelligent Futures is one of the early hills: a project that shows, in concrete terms, what it looks like when a company quietly secures its story in the next era of digital reality.
If you see your own brand in this story, that’s not an accident.
For BFS leadership and strategic partners, this project is a ready‑made sandbox:
The prototype’s next steps could include deeper integration with digital channels, additional lenses (Safety, Sustainability, Supplier), or an internal training companion.
If you’re responsible for a brand that will be deeply affected by AI‑mediated discovery — construction, healthcare, manufacturing, finance, education — you don’t have to start from zero.
