Hi everyone, Does any of you use AI for their business? If so, which AI software do you use and what makes the difference for your company?

Yes! We built out our own chatgpt for estimating all of our projects.
Interesting! What do you do?
Could you share how did you do this and what does it do?
Does your system link to your jobber account system or do you cut and paste from one to the other?
Similar to Chat GPT, I use a combination of Google Gemini and Grammarly for specific content that I create.
I just began using Jobber AI Auto Receptionist and it feels very promising.
I'm also thinking of upgrading to AI Auto Receptionist but I'm concerned if we can convert our phone number over since that number is all over our marketing material. How's it working out for you?
Following, also interested in AI Auto Receptionist
Jobber AI Receptionist has been awesome for overflow and off hours! Much better then just a voicemail.
I built an automation that automatically sends out the jobber request call to the caller
Increased lead conversion from calls and reduced admin massively
I'm using N8N to build out the workflows and automations. That connects to all the LLMs.
One thing we just built was a Google folder that when my older owner wants to create invoices, print them off, he can take a photo of it and upload it to the folder. My workflow will use OpenAI image analyzer and scan it for all the contact details, property details, project details (we're in roofing) and then add that person to Jobber.
It's not perfect but it at least helps us stay up to date with what he's doing (he's our OG sales guy) while not forcing him to use new tech that he doesn't want to use.Very excited to start getting deeper into the Ai Agents that do a lot of the admin in the backend. I chose Jobber because it's supposed to be the best Open API that can connect to any other tools like hover, eagleview, gmail, etc.

Curious to know how that's going for you. Connecting to Jobber without using something like Zapier has been a right royal pain for me. Their implementation of OAuth seems to buck the trend everyone else uses and seems to require extra hoop jumping to get working.
I’ve been building on Jobber + n8n for a while now, and totally agree with the comments about OAuth being quirky. Took me a fair bit of trial and error, but I’ve now got a stable setup that handles token refresh automatically, processes webhooks, and can run complex flows that go beyond Zapier’s webhook-only integration.
I’m self-hosting so each customer has their own isolated n8n environment — more secure and avoids any “shared account” issues.
Right now I’m putting together a small beta group of Jobber users who want to try some plug-and-play automations without having to mess around with the setup headaches. If that sounds interesting, feel free to DM me and I can share more about what’s possible.
Only thing we have used was Chat GPT to come up with some creative content for our post descriptions online for social.
I also use it for letter writing, job posting, blogs, building sop's & training manuals etc...It can even help with new logo design
I’ve found Leonardo.ai the best for logos
I think you get a couple of free runs before you have to pay for tokens
Just watch out for the prompt - get chat GPT to make the prompt for you as Leonardo can really go off the rails with images
I cant get anyone to stay on long enough to find out they all hang up as soon as they here AI receptionist. Honestly I think people would at least attempt if I could set it to not say those two words.
you can edit it and remove that part. Mine says " Hello, thanks for contacting_______________! This call may be recorded for training. Our team is currently assisting other customers, but I’ll take your info and have someone get back to you shortly. How can we help today?" use a girls voice its softer and always mention your recording in some way to avoid alawsuit.
How?! Jobber AI Receptionist? Would love to do that.
I also found that people didn’t like the AI
I think once it’s improved a bit it will be great but for me it didn’t work out well so turned it off and built my own automations instead to deal with enquiries
I tried a few other AI phone services but they were all either too expensive or too AI like
I use ChatGPT to help with blog post ideas, marketing ideas and marketing schedules, research for specific chemicals we use, developing SOPs (standard operating procedures), developing better training procedures, email and social media content creation and with developing contract verbiage to run past our attorney. It is massively useful for all of these things.
I have also used Dall-e for t shirt and branding ideas. It’s a cool model that allows for helping get the first part of the design process out of the way.
The Jobber AI Receptionist looks like it could have some true potential for alleviating a lot of the menial tasks like answering and forwarding calls as well as data input. I’m excited to see where the next year takes us with these amazing resources.
We have used Google Gemini, Jobber AI "rewrite" feature, Jobber AI Receptionist and I've also used XApp from the Jobber App Integration page. All have worked well for me. We are currently using PATLive for our phones, but I feel like they will have an AI feature in less than a year. I am being solicited by some pretty impressive AI Call Center Companies, but I'm in no rush to go 100% AI with my phones as I do not like it when I interact with most AI Call Center agents.
Thanks to ChatGPT Plus, we’ve been able to:
Land repeat clients in the multifamily industry,Draft effective collection and property dispute letters,
AI (aka “Chatty”) and our team are now driving our rebrand and price shift—focusing on delivering a premium experiences, not just a “cheap clean or paint job.” No more chasing dollars. We’re selling value.I use Chat GPT for everything " ChatGPT +" . That said my best use for AI is in advanced calculations and converting them into Quotes. AI has been wonderful at calculating materials used , estimating hours of labor and breaking everything down into an easy to understand document that I can then copy into my quotes
