AI agent for builders: site running, office not on fire
Toby Banks — Founder, Skillzy
The dispatch
New listings, creator interviews, the occasional discount. Every other Friday.
A builder’s day is on site. The variations, the supplier chase, the “when can you start” messages — that all piles up for after dark, and the jobs that need a fast answer go to whoever answered first.
What gets handled
- Inbound enquiries triaged and answered while you are on the tools
- Variations captured and priced before they are forgotten
- Maintenance and callback requests sorted by urgency, not by who shouted loudest
- Supplier and subbie follow-ups that do not need you to remember them
Where the human stays
It never commits to a start date or a final price. It buys you the first reply and the paperwork — you keep every decision that costs money.
The variations stopped slipping. That alone paid for it the first month.Featured listing

Field Notes, every other Friday. No spam.
AI for contracts and proposals: from clause to signed SOW
Reading the contract and writing the proposal are the slow, expensive bookends of every deal.
AI for agencies: client updates and content that ship themselves
Two things eat agency margin: the weekly update nobody has time for, and content that never gets repurposed.
AI for photographers: shoot to invoice without the chase
The shoot is the easy part. The enquiry, the booking, the gallery, the invoice — that is the business.
