Paving & Sealcoating

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

You don't have to learn AI to fill a short paving season. ChatGPT is not watching last year's HOA or the sealcoating list that still isn't booked. Cortex builds agents into the CRM and schedule you already run.

Agents watching

  • Seasonal book
  • Bid watch
  • Weather and extras

Does this sound familiar?

The stalls we hear in this trade every week.

01

The book fills too late

By the time you dial last year's list, they already signed.

02

HOA and municipal bids stall

A packet went out. Follow-up died after one email.

03

Weather days don't update the customer

The crew knows. The HOA board doesn't.

04

Add-ons never hit the ticket

Extra footage, a catch basin, a second coat.

What agents can handle

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

  • Review asks

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.

How we set it up

Audit, design, build, test, then keep it running. Your existing software stays in place.

  1. 01
    Audit

    Understand the operation

    Software stack, repetitive paths, follow-up that depends on memory.

  2. 02
    Design

    Design the system

    Which agents, which systems, what they may do, and what requires a person.

  3. 03
    Build

    Connect and build

    Agents around those paths, connected to the tools you already use.

  4. 04
    Deploy

    Test with your team

    Permissions, approvals, testing.

  5. 05
    Manage

    Keep it reliable

    Monitoring, connectors, improvements.
