AI phone worker
Answers missed or after-hours calls, collects the right details, qualifies urgency, and sends a clean summary.
For trades and home services
AI workers that keep trade jobs moving.
FoxGrove builds practical AI workers that handle calls, draft quotes, prepare parts lists, line up bookings, chase supplier details, send customer updates, and follow up invoices.
You do not need to learn the tech. We learn how the work is done, connect the tools you already use, and keep sensitive steps behind your approval.
What we can automate
Start with the admin leak that costs jobs.
Trades businesses lose time in the gaps between phone calls, job notes, supplier emails, quote drafts, calendars, invoices, and customer updates.
FoxGrove adds AI workers around your existing job system instead of replacing it.
Quote assistant
Turns job notes, photos, emails, and scope details into a quote draft and follow-up message.
Parts and materials
Builds parts lists from job notes, checks previous work, and drafts supplier emails or order requests.
Invoice chaser
Sends polite SMS or email reminders, includes payment links, and escalates overdue accounts.
Customer updates
Booking confirmations, on-my-way texts, delay notices, completion messages, and review requests.
Scheduling helper
Suggests booking times based on location, urgency, team availability, and job type.
Supplier inbox
Reads supplier quotes and invoices, extracts line items, and helps match costs to jobs.
Daily job packs
Sends technicians address, contact, notes, photos, parts, safety notes, and open questions before the day starts.
Control and trust
You stay in control. AI does the chasing.
The best trade workflows keep decisions with the owner while removing the chasing, copying, sorting, and reminder work around them.
Quotes can be prepared automatically, but only sent after your review.
Supplier orders and parts requests stay as drafts until you approve them.
Set the job types, suburbs, times, and exceptions the AI can handle.
Calls, summaries, approvals, and updates can be written back for later review.
How we start
One painful workflow first. Then the next one.
A trade business does not need a giant AI project. Start with one repeatable bottleneck, prove it works, then add the next worker when the value is clear.
Get startedPick the role or process
Calls, quotes, parts, bookings, customer updates, invoices, job packs, or the workflow slowing the team down.

FAQ
Trade automation without tech homework.
Do we need to change job management software?
Usually, no.
FoxGrove is designed to add AI help around tools you already use, not force a full system change. Exact integrations depend on your setup and access, but we can often work through APIs, email, exports, browser workflows, or light automation connectors.

Can AI send quotes or order parts by itself?
Not unless you want it to.
A safe first version prepares quote drafts, parts lists, supplier emails, and customer replies for approval. Once a workflow is trusted, you can decide what can move automatically and what still needs a person.

What is the best first workflow for a trade business?
Start where time or money leaks every week.
