AI Assistant
Overview
The AI Assistant is a context-aware chat interface embedded throughout the CRM. Unlike a generic AI chatbot, it has access to your actual data: job records, customer history, estimates, schedules, notes, and messages. Ask it a question about a specific customer and it pulls their record. Ask it to draft a follow-up message and it writes one that references the actual job details.
It's designed for the moments when you need to move fast — a customer calls with a question, a dispatcher needs to write a professional response, a technician wants to check notes before arriving on site. The assistant reduces the time between "I need to do this" and "done."
Features
- Contextual Q&A — Ask questions about any job, customer, estimate, or schedule; the assistant searches and synthesizes the answer from live CRM data
- Message Drafting — Generate SMS, email, or internal note drafts personalized to the current job and customer
- Estimate Assistance — Help drafting line items, scope descriptions, or pricing explanations
- Note Summarization — Summarize long job histories into a concise brief
- Action Suggestions — Recommends next steps based on job status (e.g., "This estimate has been open 5 days — send a follow-up?")
- Voice Input — Available on mobile; speak your request hands-free

Notes
The AI Assistant does not automatically send messages — it drafts them for human review. All outbound communication requires explicit approval by a staff member. Conversation logs are retained for 90 days and visible to account Admins. The assistant respects role-based access controls — it will not surface records the current user cannot view directly.
