OUR STORY
We talked to 120 businesses. The trades needed this the most.
Every shop we walked into had 2–4 people doing work that software should be delivering as an outcome, not just enabling.
We started by talking to businesses across every industry. After a month, the pattern was obvious — trades and field services had the most "glue work" and the least tech sophistication to solve it themselves.
Walk into any mid-sized HVAC, plumbing, or electrical company and you'll find the same thing: one person generating estimates, another chasing parts vendors, another answering calls and Yelp messages, another doing invoices. None of that requires a human — it requires software that delivers outcomes, not just dashboards.
The technology to solve this — AI agents that can read UIs, navigate between tools, and make context-aware decisions — finally exists. And the trades are where it makes the biggest difference.
We're not replacing people. We're giving them back the time they're currently spending on tasks that software should handle as an outcome. That's what TradesAI is.
The trades have the most to gain from AI — and the least access to it.
The Problem
Mid-sized trades businesses spend thousands monthly on office staff doing repetitive data entry, phone tag, and copy-pasting between systems. They can't afford enterprise automation consultants, and generic tools don't understand their workflows.
Our Approach
TradesAI deploys AI agents that sit on top of existing software — the tools the business already owns. No rip-and-replace. No new systems to learn. The agents handle the glue work autonomously, and your team stays in control.
Built by people who've sat in the office and seen the problem.

How we build.
Outcome over features
We don't sell tools. We sell outcomes — leads that get answered, estimates that go out fast, invoices that get paid.
Your software, not ours
We integrate with what you have. We'll never ask you to rip out a system that works.
Humans in the loop
AI does the work. You set the boundaries. Nothing happens without your knowledge and approval.
