Painting

You don't have to learn how to use AI in your painting company. We build it into the software you already run.

You don't have to learn AI to keep interior and exterior bids moving. ChatGPT is not in the estimate sitting in the homeowner's inbox. Cortex builds agents into the painting software you already run, so open bids still get a follow-up.

Agents watching

  • Estimate watch
  • Scope on the wall
  • Closeout and warranty

Does this sound familiar?

The stalls we hear in this trade every week.

01

Estimates die after the walkthrough

A number went out. Nobody followed up.

02

Color and scope change on day one

The job on the contract is not the job on the wall.

03

Crews finish before billing

The house looks done. The invoice is still a draft.

04

Repaint and warranty live in texts

A callback at six months is a thread, not a file.

What agents can handle

Examples. Your list comes from the audit, not a template.

Estimate watch

Walkthroughs that never became a scheduled job.

  • Aging bids
  • Follow-up drafts
  • Win/loss notes

Scope on the wall

Color, extras, and change orders stay on the job.

  • Scope flags
  • Unbilled extras
  • Photo recaps

Closeout and warranty

Invoice, review, and the callback file.

  • Invoice on complete
  • Review asks
  • Warranty tickets

A day with Cortex

What a day looks like with agents on

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.

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.
