Painters who stopped writing updates by hand
“I used to spend 10 minutes composing texts after every job. Now I mumble a sentence into my phone and the AI handles the rest. Clients think I'm way more professional than I am.”
Mike D.
Residential Painter, 14 years
“The materials list alone is worth it. I stopped running out of paint mid-job because the app reminds me of what I said I needed yesterday.”
Jennifer A.
Solo Painting Contractor
“My clients actually comment on how good the updates are. They have no idea it takes me 20 seconds. It's made referrals way easier.”
