Fencing
You don't have to learn AI to keep measures, material, and install days in one file. ChatGPT is not in your HOA email or the quote from last Saturday's home show. Cortex builds agents into the CRM and schedule you already pay for.
Agents watching
The stalls we hear in this trade every week.
A number went out. Nobody followed up when they went quiet.
Install is on the board. Approval is not.
Posts are there. Panels aren't. The crew burns a half day.
A gate sag, a missing cap, an unpaid remainder.
Examples. Your list comes from the audit, not a template.
Measures that never became a scheduled install.
HOA, permit, and material status on the same job.
Punch and the last draw don't wait on memory.
A day with Cortex
An example day. The agents work inside your phone line, CRM, field software and books. Anything that spends money or makes a promise waits for a person.

Example activity. Every action is logged, and you choose what agents can do without asking.
Examples of systems we commonly evaluate for integration. Fence companies usually run JobNimbus, Jobber, or a simple CRM plus CompanyCam and QuickBooks. Agents watch the gaps.
Named tools are examples we see in this trade, not a certified integration list. What we can connect depends on APIs, vendor access, and the audit. We do not replace these systems.
Audit, design, build, test, then keep it running. Your existing software stays in place.
Software stack, repetitive paths, follow-up that depends on memory.
Which agents, which systems, what they may do, and what requires a person.
Agents around those paths, connected to the tools you already use.
Permissions, approvals, testing.
Monitoring, connectors, improvements.
Start with a free 30-minute audit. You don't need to understand AI. We'll show you what's worth building into the software you already run, and what isn't.
