Lead capture
Inquiry assistant
Every call, text, and form gets an instant reply, the job scoped with the right questions, and a slot booked — so you stop losing small jobs to slow response.
Built on the tools you already run — you own it at launch.
Built for handyman businesses doing $1M–$5M
A handyman business lives on volume — lots of small jobs, lots of inquiries, lots of scheduling. We build the tools that handle the back-and-forth so you stay on the tools, not the phone.
Built in two weeks. $1,500 to $6,000. No retainers, no long contracts — and a real person who knows your world.
Where the time goes
You didn't get into this business to live on the phone or write quotes at midnight. These are the things we hear about on almost every first call with an owner in Handyman.
If two or three of these sound familiar, there's a tool worth building.
What we'd build for you
Not a chatbot with a monthly fee. Small, reliable tools that do a specific job inside the workflow you already run — so your team is free for the work that grows the business.

Estimating
It drafts ballpark quotes for common jobs from your standard rates, so a customer gets a number fast instead of waiting for you to get off a ladder.
Live in 1–2 weeks, with 30 days of tuning included.
Sales follow-up
Open quotes get a friendly nudge if the customer goes quiet, so the small jobs that add up don't quietly disappear.
A real person walks your team through it — no manual to read.
Daily brief
One morning text: today's stops in route order, materials to grab, and what's still open to fill.
Quietly pays for itself, then runs without you watching it.
What this looks like
These are illustrative examples of the kind of change these tools make — not named clients. The dollar and time figures are realistic, plain-English estimates of typical impact.
Inquiries piled up while he was on jobs; many callers booked someone else.
An assistant answers, scopes, and books every inquiry while he works.
Representative result: a consistently full schedule without the owner touching the phone mid-job.
Quotes went out and were forgotten if the customer didn't reply right away.
Every open quote followed up automatically until the customer decides.
Representative result: more small jobs closed from the same lead volume.

Common questions
For common, well-defined jobs, yes — it gives a ballpark from your standard rates. Anything unusual gets flagged for you to price personally.
It's the opposite. When you're the whole company, the phone is your biggest bottleneck. Handing the booking back-and-forth to a tool is what lets a solo operator actually grow.
Yes. We build on top of Jobber, Housecall Pro, or whatever you already use — or set up something simple if you're running on a notebook.
We'll tell you. Honestly — plenty of our first calls end with us saying “you don't need AI for that, you need a better process” or “this is a $200 Zapier zap, not a $5k build.” We make our money on great fits, not by selling everyone an automation. The 15-minute call is free either way.
Every build has approval gates wherever the stakes are real — sending a customer message, processing a payment, booking a job. The tool drafts, you approve. For the first 30 days after launch we monitor it daily and fix anything that drifts. After that you can keep us on retainer or take it fully in-house — your call.
