AI helps most today at the front door of the business: answering and booking calls and texts you would otherwise miss while you're on a job, plus drafting follow-ups, marketing copy and bookkeeping categorization. It is far less proven for judgment-heavy work like diagnosing problems or pricing complex jobs, so treat it as a fast assistant with a human checking the output.
