1

Automate your quoting

Instead of typing out quotes after a site visit, use AgentBuddy to generate a quote from a photo. Send it straight to the client while you're still on site. No more late nights wrestling with spreadsheets.

2

Set a hard cutoff for calls

Train your clients to text or email after 5pm by using an AI that answers your phone during off hours. AgentBuddy captures messages and leads, so you don't have to pick up every call. Enjoy dinner without interruptions.

3

Batch your admin once a week

Schedule one block of time for all paperwork, like invoicing and scheduling. But with AgentBuddy chasing invoices and booking jobs automatically, you can cut that block to almost nothing. Reclaim four hours a week.

4

Use a template for job notes

Standardise your job notes so you can dictate them quickly. AgentBuddy can store preferred templates and log notes from a quick voice memo. No more writing paragraphs after work.

5

Follow up leads on autopilot

Chasing quotes that went cold takes up your evenings. AgentBuddy automatically follows up every lead after a set number of days. You only step in when the client is ready to book.

6

Outsource your scheduling

Stop playing phone tag to set next week's jobs. AgentBuddy syncs with your calendar and books appointments based on your availability. Just check the day's schedule in the morning.
