Has Anyone Here Built Their Own GPT Yet? Or Just Using ChatGPT Like Google?
Hey everyone just curious where the community stands with AI right now. I’ve seen a lot of folks using ChatGPT to look stuff up (like Google 2.0), but I’m wondering if anyone here has gone deeper? Has anyone tried to build or train their own GPT yet? Or customized prompts/workflows to actually support your day-to-day? We’ve been working on building a custom GPT model trained on contractor logic — estimating, soft skills, job-site communication, pricing, SOPs, etc. For our company now, instead of broad knowledge. I see huge value in contractors having their own smart assistant, not just a chatbot. Something that speaks the language of our company. Is that something you’d use or find helpful? Curious to hear what direction you guys are taking.
Inventory Management
Hi Everyone, I run a small appliance repair company in Nova Scotia. Our current strain with using jobber is lack of inventory management. We keep essentially inventory in 2 different places, the technicians truck and in the shop. The shop is split into 2 sections. Customer parts that we receive in for specific jobs and just warehouse stock of parts we keep around. We have seriously been considering switching to a different program for lack of features that fit with jobber on this. If anyone has any recommendations that you have personally used I would love to hear about it. In my ideal world a technician would be able to add a line item and enter a part number and it would say "you have this in your truck" so he can select it and it will alert us that he is using it from his truck to reorder. This is a strain on our growing business and I am hoping there is a solution so we do not have to leave jobber. Thanks, Jacob.I want to integrate Jobber with ____________?

I'll answer ever question with a detailed flowchart, templates and videos where necessary. Let's help everyone save time with integrations and automations!What is your favorite time-saving app?
Hands down, my favorite productivity tool for Windows is Beeftext (sorry, Mac users!). As an executive administrative assistant and customer service representative, this app saves me countless hours of typing every week. What is Beeftext? Beeftext is a free, open-source text substitution tool for Windows that transforms short keywords into longer text snippets. Whether you’re tired of retyping email signatures, markdown templates, or your favorite kaomojis, Beeftext lets you create “combos” that automatically expand your shortcuts in any app that supports copy and paste. It’s lightweight, respects your privacy, and is completely ad-free—ideal for anyone who types a lot and wants to work smarter, not harder. You can learn more and download it here: https://beeftext.org/ The developer confirms it’s 100% safe and clean: https://github.com/xmichelo/Beeftext/wiki/Beeftext-is-safe Getting started is simple: https://github.com/xmichelo/Beeftext/wiki/Getting-started Pro tip: I use the equals sign (=) as my trigger key since I rarely need it otherwise. For example, typing =hi automatically expands to: Hi, it’s Rob from Wright Restorations Canada. Thank you for reaching out. How can I assist you today? Beeftext is very user-friendly, works in most apps and only takes a few minutes to master. Highly recommended for anyone looking to save time and reduce repetitive typing!Virtual assistant
Sorry if this is a repeat post. I did some searching on here and didn’t find what I’m asking. I keep hearing about virtual assistants used for service pros. I’m a 1 man show right now trying to delete and automate as much as possible to leave room for growth and expansion. I heard virtual assistants can help with a number of task. Does anyone have a company they refer or use? What has been the feed back?How has that helped utilizing a VA and Jobber together? Thank you !
🚨FEATURE REQUEST: Tiered Pricing on Products & Services 🚨
Hey Jobber Team and Fellow Pros, Let’s talk about a feature that could seriously boost close rates and make Jobber even more competitive for all of us who quote services, manage inventory, and work in price-sensitive markets. What we need: Tiered Pricing on Products and Services — customizable pricing where the unit cost automatically adjusts based on quantity ordered. Why this matters: We already price materials like mulch, sod, and stone this way in real life. It would speed up quoting, improve estimate accuracy, and help us win more jobs. It mirrors how customers expect to see pricing — more they buy, less they pay per unit. How it would work: Let users define pricing tiers for any product/service: 1–10 units = $10/unit 11–50 units = $8/unit 51+ units = $6/unit These price breaks should auto-calculate during estimate creation and carry through to invoicing. Why Jobber Should Care: Makes Jobber more competitive vs. other platforms offering advanced pricing features. Helps your users convert more jobs = more usage and more loyalty to Jobber. Reflects real-world pricing logic we already use outside the app. If you'd use this — drop a comment or like to help get this in front of Jobber’s dev team. Let’s get this done together!What are your biggest questions you have about using AI in your business?
