Where owners lose the most time
Owners of contractors, small shops and fab shops lose hours every week to follow-ups, scheduling and keeping track of who owes what. An AI assistant can take over much of that busywork, once the process underneath it works.
Endless follow-ups
Texting crews, subs and vendors for updates that should have come to you.
A tracker nobody updates
The whiteboard, the spreadsheet, Jobber: never quite current.
Missed dates
Bids, inspections and deliveries that sneak up on you.
Process first. Bots second.
A bot bolted onto a messy process just makes the mess faster. So I start the way a Director of Operations would: watch how the work really moves, fix the bottlenecks, and only then let the AI take over the busywork.
Ops audit: process first, bots second
I map how your business really runs, find your 3 biggest time drains, and hand you a written plan to fix them. It's yours to keep, whether or not you hire me for the rest.
What I set up
Missed-call text-back & lead log
When you miss a call, the caller gets an automatic text back. Calls, texts and web form leads land in one list so you can follow up and nobody slips through the cracks.
Quote & proposal assistant
Drafts quotes and proposals from your notes and pricing, so you review and send them faster.
Owner's morning brief
A short email each morning with what matters: open jobs, overdue invoices, follow-ups due and new reviews, pulled from the tools you use.
Back-office automation
Invoice reminders, scheduling help, review requests, and your SOPs turned into a bot your staff can ask questions.
Monthly retainer
I keep an eye on what we set up, fix what breaks, and add one improvement each month. Monthly, quoted after the audit.
Setup runs on your own accounts: you sign in to your tools yourself, so I never handle your passwords. Builds are quoted after the audit, and nothing goes out to a customer without your OK.
AI for small manufacturers
In a plant, the best first uses of AI are usually in the office, not on the machines: drafting quotes from past jobs, summarizing the day's late orders, chasing supplier confirmations and answering "where's my order?" from the schedule. I add these as part of fractional operations work or on their own, after the process they depend on is solid.
I set up AI assistants in person for owners in Greenville, the east side of DFW, Sulphur Springs and Paris and Tyler.
Common questions
Will the AI send emails or texts without me knowing?
No. You approve every outside message before it goes out. The assistant never makes payments, deletes data or changes permissions.
Is my data safe?
Everything runs on your own accounts. You sign in to your tools yourself, so I never see your passwords. Access is kept to the minimum, I keep what I learn about your business confidential, and an offboarding checklist revokes access if we part ways.
Do I need to be technical?
No. I set it up in person, show you how it works, and keep an eye on it if you choose the monthly retainer. You'll mostly interact with it by email or text.
What tools does it work with?
It's built around the email, calendar, phone, spreadsheets and job-tracking tools you already use. The ops audit confirms what you have and what will connect before anything is quoted.
Can I get the AI setup without fractional operations work?
Yes. The AI setup is offered on its own, starting with the $300–500 ops audit.
