How to build an AI agent for electricians (real example)
Toby Banks — Founder, Skillzy
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

The shoot is the easy part. The enquiry, the booking, the gallery, the invoice — that is the business.
