AI roof measurements

I built an AI model to measure roofs from satellite imagery. Would any roofers here pay a couple dollars for this as a service? The measurements are ready in under a minute.

No. Just like the other established sat. measuring services it can't tell me if there is more than one layer, any soft spots in the decking or if the house has say 12 hipped cornice return mini roofs. Those are time eaters for just requiring 6 or 8 shingles.

It seems that other sat. measuring services are used, so why do you think this wouldn't be?
Used by slimy sales creatures, not actual roofers that want to provide accurate estimates

What about if I integrated the AI measuring tool into existing roofers websites so they can provide free estimates?
Still wouldn't be able to give the needed info that an in person, on site inspection can. Besides, measuring the roof is the easiest part. An experienced estimator can glance at a house and say how many squares it is. Still going to get up there and look at things for the reasons I stated earlier.
