Industries

Pick your industry. See the actual work.

Not a list of features. This is the work our agents already do, day to day, for owner operated businesses. Choose an industry and the job you need covered.

1. Choose your industry

Built alongside a builder who is also the general contractor and the owner, so the agent covers the office work, not just the site. It reads real contracts, drawings and compliance records through your own systems.

2. Choose the job you need covered

Buyout and subcontracts

Owner, GC, estimator

  • Review a subcontract scope against a 32 trade checklist and report what is missing, undecided or excluded
  • Draft a scope exhibit for a trade, with every open decision marked for a human to answer
  • Map responsibility boundaries across trades and flag the ones written into only one subcontract
  • Pull a contract from your portal, read it even if it is a scan, and review it unattended
  • Flag the items that are chronically nobody's scope, such as firestopping, sleeves and hoisting

Drawings and documents

PM, estimator

  • Ingest a full drawing set and check sheets against the set's own index for revision mismatches
  • Find where drawings and specification contradict each other, with both sides quoted
  • Answer questions with a page level citation, and refuse to answer when it cannot cite
  • Read scanned documents that have no text layer

Compliance and payment

Compliance, office manager

  • Track certificates of insurance, lien waivers and missing document holds against every contract
  • Run a daily check and send only what changed, not the same list every morning
  • Watch the regulatory documents a job needs, including the conditional ones
  • Update a compliance record in your system, previewed and confirmed by a person first

The base

Every agent starts here

These run the same way whatever the trade. They are the base an industry agent is built on.

Front desk

Whoever answers first

  • Take an enquiry, ask the qualifying questions, and book it into the calendar
  • Answer the questions customers actually repeat, in your own words
  • Recognise who is asking from your own staff list, and refuse instructions from anyone else
  • Stay quiet unless it has something worth saying, on your instruction

Money out and in

Owner, bookkeeper

  • Produce a quote or an invoice in your own format, from a conversation
  • Send it from your own address, with attachments
  • Pull the bank and card feed into one ledger
  • Chase what is unpaid on a schedule you set

The admin nobody has time for

Owner, office

  • Check a document for what is actually wrong with it, including the layout
  • Drive a real browser on a real desktop for the portal that has no integration
  • Send a morning brief and an end of day summary
  • Run overnight and report what happened by the time you open
  • Build the owner's day and protect the time that mattersIn pilot
  • Source prospects, verify them, and send a first approach held for your approvalIn pilot

Channels

It works where you already work

No new app to open, no dashboard to learn. The agent lives in the tools your team already has open.
