How to build an AI agent for electricians (real example)

The dispatch

New listings, creator interviews, the occasional discount. Every other Friday.

A two-van electrical business had the same problem every trade business has: the job stops at 5pm, the office work starts at 9pm, and the good leads went cold while the quote sat unwritten.

What they automated

  • Quote from a photo + a voice note, on site
  • Follow-up until the quote is won or dead
  • Certificate-of-compliance tracking that nags until filed
  • Polite debtor chasing that keeps the customer

How it was wired

No code. An Agent Setup dropped into their agent, connected to Xero and a job-management tool with the included flows. Setup was an evening, once.

We stopped losing the “did they ever get back to me” jobs. That was the whole game.
Featured listing

Quotes, compliance certs, job follow-ups — your agent runs the back office from the van.

The full setup is in the catalogue. If you only fix one thing first, fix compliance certs — it is the cheapest listing and the one that stops a fine.
