AI for trades and home services

Do you need an AI team?

We find the hours your business loses to the phone, the quotes and the paperwork. Then we get them back.

We run small businesses too. We learned this so you can skip that part.

Free. You keep the list whether or not we work together.

Already running, every weekday. At Baja Llama, an apparel company doing over $1 million in revenue a year, an AI system sorts the support inbox and drafts every reply for a person to approve.

How It Works

Four steps, and you choose every one

  1. Map the workA short call, then a few conversations with whoever answers your phone and builds your quotes. We write down where the hours go.
  2. Rank itEvery fix gets an hours and dollars estimate. You see the list in order and pick where to start.
  3. Build it with youWe set up the first one around how you already work and show your team how to use it. An hour or two of your time, booked in advance.
  4. Prove it every monthOne page: hours back, dollars back, what's live. If a fix isn't earning its keep, we switch it off.
Where it leaks

Where do your hours go?

Pick the one that costs you most. Here is the fix we'd start with.

Sample readout

The phone rings while you're on a roof

The leak
You're under a sink or driving between jobs. It goes to voicemail. Most people don't leave one. They call the next name on the list.
The fix
Something that answers when you can't, books the job, and texts back anyone it couldn't help inside a minute. It can tell an emergency from someone collecting three quotes.
How we measure it
Calls answered after hours, jobs booked from them, and how fast every caller heard back.

Do this sum before we talk.

Work out what one job is worth to you. Then count the calls you didn't answer last month. We won't quote you an industry statistic. You're the only one who knows that number.

Every month

You see the results on one page

Hours back, dollars back, and what's live. Short enough that you, your office manager and your bookkeeper all read it.

Every number is measured against where you started, so nobody has to take our word for it.

Got it. We'll be in touch.

We'll read it properly and email you the ranked list. If anything's unclear, we'll ask first.

Questions

What owners actually ask us

What do I get from the free assessment?

A ranked list of where AI can save your business time and money, with a rough hours and dollars estimate for each. You keep it whether or not we work together.

Do I need to know anything about AI?

No. We talk about your calls, quotes and jobs, not models and prompts. If you can describe a bad week, we can start.

Will people know it isn't a person?

Some will. Most of them mind that far less than they mind holding, or leaving a voicemail nobody returns. And if somebody asks it directly, it won't pretend. We'd rather set that up honestly than have you find out the hard way.

Does this replace whoever answers my phone now?

No. It takes the calls nobody got to: after hours, the second one ringing while you're on the first, the follow-up that went cold. Your person keeps the conversations that need a person.

What happens when it gets something wrong?

You set in advance what it can handle and what goes straight to you, and you can change that whenever you like. Every call is recorded, so when something goes sideways you can hear exactly what happened instead of guessing.

What does it cost?

It depends on the size of the business and the work we pick. We set it after the assessment, once the numbers are on the table. Any price before that would be one we made up.

Get hours back on every job

We're taking on a small number of these, because we'd rather the first few go well than go fast.
