An assistant for a business of one.
One person doing sales, delivery and admin. There is no one to delegate to, so the first thing worth building is the thing that answers while you work.
01 — Why
There is nobody else to hand it to
A business of one is interrupted all day by work that is real but not the work. The agent takes the interruptions and gives you one summary instead.
You stay on the job
Enquiries get an answer while you are with a client, not four hours later when you finally look at your phone.
One place to catch up
A short daily summary: what came in, what it handled, what needs you. Read it once, not forty times.
It never sends in your name blind
Quotes and anything with a price sit as drafts until you approve them.
What it takes off you
Inbox triage first, because it is the thing that follows you home.
- Inbox triage
Sorts what came in, answers the routine, and puts the three that need you at the top with the context attached.
- Booking
Offers real availability, holds the slot, and confirms once you have said yes.
- Quotes
Drafted from your rate card and your past jobs, waiting in your drafts rather than sent on your behalf.
- Follow-ups
The quote from ten days ago and the invoice from last month get chased so you do not have to remember either.
- Weekly summary
One note on Friday: what came in, what closed, what is still open and what it could not answer.
$2,400 over two rounds, sent 14 August. Not yet accepted.

Quotes sheet · row 3103 — How it runs
It works the hours you cannot
Nights, weekends and the middle of a job. The agent covers those and leaves a clean handover for the moment you look up.
- step 01Triages everything first
Routine handled, unusual flagged, nothing marked read that you have not actually seen.
- step 02Answers in your voice
Built from your own past replies, so customers do not notice a change in who is writing.
- step 03Stops before anything binding
Prices, promises and dates you have not confirmed wait for you.
Simple to set up
One week to learn the workflow, two to three to build, then it is yours.
One week watching your week
We go through what interrupts you and what you retype most often. Usually the answer is two things.
Two to three weeks building
We build those two things against your inbox and calendar and test them on your own last month.
Live, and cheap to keep
One agent, one price, your accounts. You can turn it off for a week and turn it back on.
