The stall

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

PestPac has the route. Skips, cancelled accounts, and callbacks still live with a person.

Skip-stops get lost

A callback blows up three stops. Nobody reschedules the skips.

Cancelled accounts go quiet

Nobody reaches back out. They just disappear.

Renewals depend on whoever remembers

The customer finds out when the pests do.

Nobody counts callbacks as a cost

They get handled as a favor.

The work between the software

Not because one stop is hard. Because skips, lapses, and callbacks pile up every week.

  1. 01Reschedule the skipped stop
  2. 02Reach out to the cancelled account
  3. 03Flag the renewal before it lapses
  4. 04Log the callback as a cost
  5. 05Catch the missed one-time lead
  6. 06See which routes actually ran

What we install

Custom AI around the software your company already uses.

We don’t replace PestPac, FieldRoutes, Jobber, 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.

PestPac
FieldRoutes
Jobber
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.

Skipped stops

A callback blew up three stops. Agents flag the skips so they get rescheduled instead of forgotten.

Renewals and lapses

Recurring accounts that are due, quiet, or cancelled get a next action, not a hope that someone remembers.

One-time follow-up

Termite, wildlife, and one-time jobs go on a follow-up list, so the next call doesn’t depend on who remembers.

Owner briefing

Stops run, skips open, renewals due, callbacks that ate the day. 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.

  1. Before the audit

    You tell us recurring vs one-time mix, the routing software, and which accounts still depend on memory.

  2. During the audit

    A 30-minute walkthrough of how routes, renewals, callbacks, and leads actually move.

  3. After the audit

    A ranked map of skip-stops, renewals, missed calls, 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 pest-control 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 pest-control case study. Pest companies run PestPac or FieldRoutes. The work that slips through is skip-stops, lapsed renewals, and cancelled accounts that go quiet until the ants come back.

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 pest control 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 PestPac, FieldRoutes, or Jobber?

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 office or route managers?

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

Is this only for recurring routes?

No. Termite, wildlife, and one-time jobs have the same follow-up gaps. They're just different records in the same 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 catch skips, recover renewals, 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 pest 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.
