AI assistant for tradespeople: small jobs and renovations organised in one inbox
One moment a loose fence, the next a complete bathroom. Slimbot organises requests from WhatsApp, e-mail and your website, asks for photos and requirements, and shows you which job is at what stage.
Hello, can you repair our garden shed? The roof is leaking.
Assistant's draft
Good afternoon! What type of roofing is on it and how big is the shed approximately? Can you send a photo of the roof?

In practice
What comes in for handyman businesses — and what Slimbot does
"Can you do a few small jobs in one go?"
The assistant asks for a list of photos, so you can estimate how much time and what materials you'll need.
"We'd like to have our kitchen renovated."
Ask for requirements, surface area and photos and suggest a site visit; you prepare the quote.
"What's your hourly rate?"
Only a rate if you fill it in yourself; otherwise the question goes to you.
"When can you start?"
Draft reply based on your diary; you confirm the schedule.
"I've sent the photos of the loft."
Photos are on the customer card instead of scattered across colleagues' phones.

What you get
Features that Slimbot has today. No promises we don't keep.
What's the job?
What needs doing, where, when and with which photos: the assistant asks and puts it on the customer card.
Photos with the request
A photo of the wall, fence or frame says more than a long explanation and is kept with the conversation.
Planning in one calendar
Suggest site visits and jobs from your connected calendar, with a reminder from your own number.
Follow-up after the site visit
A friendly reminder if a customer doesn't respond to your quote. You approve the text yourself.
Payment link after completion
Small job completed? Send the customer a payment link directly from the conversation.
