Built by builders, for the trades · 11 years on the tools

We run your entire office.
You run your trade.

JackKnife AI hands you a full AI office team — reception, estimating, invoicing, scheduling, a 24/7 answering service, hiring, and your advertising — customized down to the wire for how your business actually works. On hardware you own. Managed by us from the first phone call to the ad that rang it.

11 years in the trades
Built by builders
Every trade, custom-built
Your hardware, your data
The difference

They sell you a phone answerer.
We hand you the whole crew.

Everyone else automates one task and calls it an AI employee. We replace the back office — and give it a voice with a personality, not a monotone script.

The typical "AI receptionist"

  • Answers the phone. That's the product.
  • Reads a rigid script in a flat robot voice.
  • Bolts onto software you still pay for and manage.
  • Your customer data lives on their servers.

  • Agents with a job, a memory, and a mouth — they know what you quoted in March.
  • Zero separate accounts. We operate the entire stack for you.
  • Runs on hardware you own. You keep 100% of your data.

Built by builders, for the trades

Eleven years on the tools. Eleven years of customers, callbacks, and midnight quotes. We know what a Tuesday actually looks like on a job — the lead you forgot, the estimate you scribbled on a truck seat, the invoice that never went out. So we didn't build a chatbot with a phone number. We built you a crew.

Your office, running itself

Everything a full front office does.
Nothing you have to hire for.

One private platform, tuned to your operational flow. Your crew shows up on day one already knowing your business.

A Website That Wins Work

Custom, mobile-first, and local-SEO built for your service area — with a "plan your project" intake that captures photos and site plans, not just a phone number.

Estimates That Never Guess

Domain-aware scoping with parts and pricing verified against real regional suppliers — real part numbers, current prices, source-cited. The math is calculator-checked on every line.

Invoicing & Job Costing

Professional numbered invoices straight from approved estimates. Deposits, progress, and final billing — with true margin per job so you know what you actually made.

A Calendar That Builds Itself

Your schedule assembles from real commitments and syncs straight to your phone. An evening digest lays out tomorrow before you close the truck door.

A 24/7 Answering Crew

Overflow and after-hours calls answered, understood, and captured — with emergency detection that escalates to your cell. You never lose a job to voicemail again.

Customer Comms, Handled

Appointment reminders, "on our way" texts, and follow-ups that keep every customer in the loop — every message drafted for you, sent only on your one-tap approval.

One Live Dashboard

Push notifications to your phone, a live activity feed, and business health at a glance. Installs from the browser — full-screen, offline-ready, no app store.

Private By Design

Encrypted, private networking. The dashboard is never public. Your customer data lives on your server — and you own every byte of it, exportable any time.

A Weekly Digest

One clean summary every week: money in, new leads, your response-time record, and the week ahead. The whole business, on one page, in one glance.

Your trade, designed and accounted for

Whatever your trade needs,
we build it in.

This isn't a template with your logo dropped on top. We map your operation and engineer the tools your specific trade actually runs on — and we've built the hard ones before.

Field tooling

CAD & Blueprint Drawings

Need drawings and plan sets in the loop? We generate and manage them — so the office, the estimate, and the field are all working off the same source of truth.

Crew app

The Field App For Your Team

An app your crew opens each morning to see the blueprints for the job and their tasks for the day — the whole site in their pocket, updated the second you change it.

Command center

A Cyber Site Manager

A live command center for the job site — schedules, tasks, plans, and progress in one screen, so you run the whole operation without chasing paper or texts.

Tuned to you

Engineered To Your Workflow

Electrical, carpentry, plumbing, HVAC — the platform re-skins and re-tools to how you actually work. If your trade needs a feature, we have the experience to build it.

The promise

Name the tool your business is missing.

Eleven years in the trades means we've probably built something like it already. Tell us the bottleneck — we engineer the fix and fold it into your office. No feature request is off the table.

Managed end to end

From the first lead to the ad
that brought it in.

You don't log in to a dozen tools. You don't manage vendors. You run your trade — we run everything from intake to advertising, and hand you the results.

01 · INTAKE

Capture

Every call, form, and photo lands in one place, scored and triaged — the hottest lead surfaced first.

02 · OPERATE

Run

Estimates, invoices, scheduling, and customer comms handled by your crew — you approve, we execute.

03 · STAFF

Grow The Crew

Hiring intake, screening, and vetting against your standards — so the bench grows as fast as the work does.

04 · ADVERTISING

Get Found

We run your social pages, your Google presence, and your ads — putting you in front of the customers searching right now.

Hiring, handled

Your next hire, vetted
before your phone rings.

Growth breaks a company at the crew, not the office. So we cover that too — sourcing, intake, and vetting every applicant against the standard you set.

We even handle intake and vetting for every new hire — screened, background-checked, and scored against your standards before a single résumé reaches your desk. Because once this office is running, your business is about to take off, and the crew has to be ready for it.

01 · SOURCE

Posted & Sourced For You

Job posts written in your voice and pushed to the boards, the local networks, and the trade groups where real tradespeople actually look — not just the big aggregators.

02 · VET

Screened To Your Standard

Every applicant intake-interviewed, licenses and certifications checked, references chased, and scored against the exact bar you set for your crew. No warm bodies.

03 · SHORTLIST

Only The Ones Worth Your Time

You get a ranked shortlist with notes, red flags, and interviews already scheduled around your jobs. You show up, size them up, and make the call.

Sovereign by design

Your office. Your iron. Your data.

This is a war for privacy, and we fight it in how we operate. No lock-in, no data mining, no landlord.

Hardware You Rent Or Own

Run it on iron you rent from us or buy outright. Either way the box is yours — and the whole office lives on it, not in someone else's cloud.

100% Your Data

Every customer, estimate, and call log is yours — encrypted, private, and fully exportable. We operate it; you own it. Walk away with all of it any time.

Open Models, No Extraction

Built on open-source models with zero data retention. The era of your business being the product is over. Your work stays yours.

Pricing

Priced like a tool.
Works like a team.

One flat build. One flat month. No per-minute meters, no surprise vendor bills, no separate accounts to babysit. Bolt on the blades your trade needs.
