AI Workers for Field Services

We automate the back office so field crews can focus on the actual work. Trades businesses (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, collision repair, roofing) run on legacy software and "glue" employees: people whose entire job is clicking through systems, copy-pasting between tools, and managing inbound volume across channels. A collision shop has one person generating estimates in CCCOne, another chasing parts vendors, another answering calls and Yelp messages, another doing invoices in QuickBooks. None of that requires a human. We build proactive background agents that run these operations autonomously -- quoting, estimating, procurement, insurance coordination, scheduling, follow-ups -- on top of the software these businesses already own. We started as an AI consulting firm talking to businesses across every industry. After a month, the pattern was obvious - trades and field services had the most "glue work" and the least tech sophistication to solve it themselves. Every shop we walked into had 2–4 people doing work that software should be delivering as an outcome, not just enabling. Our GTM is direct to operators and through PE-backed roll-ups, who are actively looking for margin improvements across their portfolio companies.

Ressl AI: AI Employees for the Trades
See original launch post

Hey everyone 👋

We're Arushi and Abhishek, co-founders of Ressl AI.

TL;DR: We deploy AI agents that run the office for trades and home services businesses - answering leads, building estimates, procuring parts, and handling the endless admin that burns out business owners. Think of Ressl as an EA for every stressed-out owner just trying to keep the business moving.

The Problem ❌

Every trades business has what we call "glue" employees.

These are people just managing software. Copy-pasting between systems. Clicking through janky UIs. Acting as the human layer on top of tools the business already owns, just to get basic outcomes.

Take a collision repair shop. They'll use something like CCCOne as their system of record.

And then they'll have:

One person generating estimates inside it. One person coordinating with vendors to procure parts. One person picking up calls, responding to leads across Yelp, Google, their website, and Podium, and chasing follow-ups. A finance team manually reconciling invoices in QuickBooks.

What does need to be there - the technicians, the estimators in the field, the crew actually doing the work - and they’re being slowed down because the office can't keep up. Leads go unanswered. Estimates take days. Jobs get lost.

What We've Built ✅

Ressl deploys AI agents that sit on top of your existing software - the tools you already use - and handle the glue work autonomously.

1. Lead response & scheduling: Our agents respond to inbound leads across every channel (calls, texts, Yelp, Google, website) instantly, 24/7, and book the job.

2. Estimating & bidding: Agents pull the relevant job data and generate estimates inside your existing system - dramatically cutting the time from inquiry to quote.

3. Procurement: Agents handle vendor communications to source and coordinate parts, so your team isn't playing phone tag with suppliers.

4. Admin & invoicing: Routine back-office tasks - follow-ups, invoice management, job status updates - handled automatically in the background.

The business owner gets the outcome. The software does the work.

Why Now❓

Legacy software with no APIs, fragmented communication, and workflows requiring human judgment made automation impossible. AI agents (especially with OpenClaw-like architecture) that can read a UI, understand context, and operate across tools change that entirely. The technology finally matches the problem.

Ask 💬

We'd love to talk to:

Trades & home services business owners — if you're managing HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, collision repair, roofing, or any field ops business and your office feels like it's always behind, that's exactly who we're building for.

PE firms and roll-up operators — if you're acquiring and scaling home services businesses and want to increase margins across your portfolio without adding headcount, we should talk.
