The stall
You might use ChatGPT. It doesn't see this software. Someone still has to chase the work.
Buildertrend has the job. Change orders, punch, and closeout still live in email.
Bids age without a next step
Follow-up depends on who remembers.
Change orders are verbal
Yes on site. Missing from the contract.
Closeout drags on
Punch, warranties, final invoice. Cash waits.
The customer has an old date
Weather moved the week. Nobody sent the update.
The work between the software
Not because one remodel is hard. Because aging bids, verbal extras, and closeout pile up every week.

What we install
Custom AI around the software your firm already uses.
We don’t replace Buildertrend, Procore, JobNimbus, your CRM, or your books. You don't have to understand AI. We build agents into that software so follow-up, monitoring, and reporting get done without anyone pasting jobs into ChatGPT.
Named tools are examples operators already run, not a pack you have to buy, and not a rip-and-replace list.
Specialized agents
Built around your firm. Not a predetermined pack.
Bid follow-up
Aged estimates get a follow-up instead of sitting until someone remembers who was supposed to call.
Change-order capture
A yes on site gets written up, not fought over at the end. Drafts go to the PM.
Closeout watch
Punch, warranties, waivers, final invoice. Cash shouldn’t wait on missing paperwork.
Owner briefing
Bids open, extras missing, jobs that look done but aren’t collected. Ready every morning.
Sensitive sends can require approval. Agents get only the access they need. Your team keeps the judgment.
The free audit
We’ll show you where AI can realistically help. If it can’t, we’ll say so.
Before the audit
You tell us remodel vs commercial mix, the job software, and which file still lives in email.
During the audit
A 30-minute walkthrough of how bids, change orders, subs, and closeout actually move.
After the audit
A ranked map of bid follow-up, change orders, closeout, and reporting, sorted by return and risk. What we’d build first. What we would not automate.
In the field
Detail Driven
Shown so you can see how it works, not as a fake contracting case study.
We only publish work we have actually installed. Our automotive build is on the site so you can see how Cortex gets set up, not as a made-up contracting case study. Remodel and light-commercial firms run Buildertrend, Procore, or JobNimbus. The work that slips through is aging bids, extras okayed on site, and closeout that still holds up the final payment.
See how the system was installed“Most operators do not have a software shortage. They have a people-operating-the-software problem. Cortex connects agents to those systems so the repetitive work between them no longer depends on someone remembering.”
Questions from contractors
Do I need to understand AI?
No. That's the point. We understand it. We implement agents in the software you already run. You stay the operator.
I already use ChatGPT. Why would I need this?
ChatGPT is a tab you open. It waits for a prompt. It does not watch your shop software, CRM, or books unless you paste the job in. Cortex builds agents inside those systems so the follow-up gets done without you becoming someone who 'does AI.'
Do I have to replace Buildertrend, Procore, or JobNimbus?
No. We connect to the systems you already run. The point is to make that software work harder, not add another login.
Will this replace my PMs or estimators?
No. Agents watch, draft, and flag. Money, promises, and judgment calls stay with your people. Sensitive messages can wait for your approval.
We are remodel, not commercial. Does that matter?
No. Remodel, custom, or light commercial, the follow-up that slips between the job file and the office is the same.
Do you sell a pack of agents?
No. We start with your firm, your software, your bottlenecks. The audit is how we find the first thing worth building.
What do I leave the audit with?
A ranked map of where AI can realistically recover bids, catch gaps in the job file, and show you what needs attention, plus what we would not automate.
You don't have to understand AI to find out what it could do inside your firm.
A minute to apply. Thirty minutes on how the work moves. You don't have to learn AI. If we can help, we'll show you the build. If we can't, we'll say so.
