The stall

You might use ChatGPT. It doesn't see this software. Someone still has to chase the work.

The drawings are in a folder. Permits, verbal extras, and unbilled work still live in email.

Estimates wait on one person

When they are out, the pipeline freezes. Follow-up is whatever they remember.

Permit status is buried

It lives in an email. The crew finds out on the driveway.

Change orders are verbal

The customer said yes. Billing is an argument later.

No single job file

Drawings, emails, and photos are scattered.

The work between the software

Not because one panel is hard. Because bids, permits, and verbal extras pile up every week.

  1. 01Follow up on the aging bid
  2. 02Check the permit before the crew rolls
  3. 03Capture the verbal extra
  4. 04Match the takeoff to the truck
  5. 05Get the photos into the job file
  6. 06See what’s still unbilled

What we install

Custom AI around the software your company already uses.

We don’t replace your field software, estimating tools, CRM, or 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.

ServiceTitan
Jobber
Accubid
GoHighLevel
Google
QuickBooks

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 company. Not a predetermined pack.

Estimate queue

Aging bids get a follow-up instead of sitting until the estimator is back. Won and lost bids stay marked in the file.

Permit and inspection watch

Permit dates and holds live on the job, not in an email thread. The crew shouldn’t find out on the driveway.

Change-order capture

Verbal extras get written up before the work is done. You approve the draft. The file stays complete.

Job-file gaps

Missing photos, open materials, unbilled extras. One owner summary instead of digging through email.

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.

  1. Before the audit

    You tell us service vs bid mix, estimating tools, and which file still lives in email.

  2. During the audit

    A 30-minute walkthrough of how bids, permits, change orders, and closeout actually move.

  3. After the audit

    A ranked map of bid follow-up, permits, change orders, and unbilled extras, 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 electrical 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 electrical case study. Electrical companies add Accubid and permits on top of their field software. The work that slips through is aging bids, surprises on inspection day, and extras the customer okayed on site that never made the invoice.

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 electrical owners

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 ServiceTitan, Accubid, or my CRM?

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 estimators or project managers?

No. Agents watch, draft, and flag. Money, promises, and judgment calls stay with your people. Sensitive messages can wait for your approval.

We do more bid work than service. Does that matter?

No. Bid-heavy shops have the same problems. Aging quotes, permits, and change orders just sit in different software.

Do you sell a pack of agents?

No. We start with your company, 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 electrical company.

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.
