Use AI to create a pre-job checklist so you never forget tools, parts, or permits before leaving for a call.
Before you head out to a job, there's nothing worse than realizing halfway there that you're missing a critical part or tool. AI can build you a custom checklist in seconds based on the job type. Just tell it what kind of work you're doing — a water heater install, a drain repair, a bathroom remodel — and it'll list everything you need: tools, materials, safety gear, even permits or access requirements. You can save these checklists in your phone's notes and reuse them every time that job type comes up. It's like having an experienced plumber double-checking your truck before every call, so you show up prepared and avoid costly return trips.
