The big AI firms start at $2,500 a month and chase corporate CEOs. You run trucks, not a boardroom. Come sit at a roundtable, leave with a plain-English plan built for your shop, and we build it one win at a time — no retainer to get started.
Zero pitches. IRL > URL. Walk away with a real plan either way.
The high-end shops do fine work — for companies with a corporate budget. Everybody below their floor gets left to figure AI out alone. That's exactly who we're for.
Built for PE-backed, roll-up CEOs. Nothing offered under that floor.
A polished firm and an account manager who's never been on a roof.
Built for real trades shops — a few trucks, a small crew, a phone that won't stop ringing.
A neighbor who talks like you do and starts you small, no cliff.
No giant leap. Climb one rung at a time — most owners start at the table and never look back.
Same game plan, tuned to how your trade actually runs. HVAC's live now — the rest roll out city by city.
The AI Game Plan isn't some outside consultant parachuting in. It's powered by The Trades Room — a real Texas trades community with a weekly newsletter and monthly dinners. Zero pitches. Built by trades guys, for trades guys.
Join the Tailgate — free weekly readThe free newsletter that started it all — practical AI and business tips for Texas trades, in five minutes a week.
Missed calls in the busy season. Quotes that never get followed up. A tech who knows everything and no way to clone him. That's the stuff AI is actually good at — and we set it up for you, plain and simple.
Conroe and Houston first — that's where the demand is.
Every one of these has an AI fix we can stand up fast — usually starting with a single build.
Auto text-back the second you can't pick up, so the lead doesn't just dial the next guy.
Automatic, friendly follow-ups on every estimate until you get a yes or a no.
Turn your best tech's know-how into a searchable playbook the whole crew can use.
Reminders and rebookings that keep your recurring revenue from leaking out.
Sit with other owners in your area. Free, no pitch — or grab the $149 audit and go one-on-one.
A custom 48-hour report: what to automate first for your shop, and what it's worth in real dollars.
Usually the missed-call fix. One build, one price, no retainer — then grow from there.
