AI assistant for an electrical contractor's quotes and schedule

Service calls, panel changes, and the occasional after-hours outage can sit in one shop record and be worked from Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok. The connector is https://doingwork.work/mcp. Quote or invoice lines the assistant drafted stay unsent until a person whose role may send them sends them. The owner can always send quotes, invoices and visit recaps. Office can send them for any job, a lead for jobs on their crew, and field for jobs assigned to them, until the owner turns that send off. A quote follow-up still goes out on its own, 3 days later unless you change it.

A service call

The customer says half the kitchen is out. Your assistant opens the request, books a visit inside the hours you set, and warns you if that tech is already booked or off. On the way over, the assistant can read the brief: last notes, photo summaries, and similar past quotes. The worker can clock job, drive, shop, and break time. That is hours for job cost and for a CSV you can hand a payroll service. Doing Work does not run payroll.

After the call, the assistant drafts a recap from what the worker said. It stays a draft until a person whose role may send the recap says to send it. A small repair can be an invoice with no quote, including a deposit if you want one. A diagnostic can be time and materials, with the hourly rate and the cap you set.

A panel quote

Put the prices you actually charge into options, not into three emails. The customer opens one link, types their name, and picks an option. Photos of the open panel go on the job, and you can attach them to the quote so the customer sees them on that same page. Location data stays with your copy. Their copy has it stripped.

If the wall is worse than the quote assumed, write a change order. Your assistant can draft the lines, including a credit if you are taking work out. The owner or office sends it, and the customer signs that one on a hosted page too. Sales tax is a rate you enter for a jurisdiction. Doing Work does not look the rate up.

The outage

Mark the visit emergency. You get a ranked list of field workers and owners who are free, not on time off, and inside their hours, then by who has fewer visits today. Assign with a sentence. If phone answering is on, it uses your Twilio account and your voice agent, and emergency handling is whatever you configured. It is off if you never connect Twilio. Phone setup is the page for that.

Paste these once the connector is on

• "Book a service call for a partial outage tomorrow morning, and warn me if both techs are already out."
• "Draft a panel quote with three options and an optional surge line. Use my prices. Do not send it."
• "Tag the panel photo and the permit photo. Do not tell the customer we filed anything."
• "What is the margin on the Maple Street panel, using approved time and the materials we received?"

Job cost on that last one is labor from approved and pending time, materials at cost, expenses, and the Doing Work fee, against what you have invoiced and collected. Connect the assistant from quickstart. The product story, including which assistants we have actually seen connect, is on Run your shop from the AI you already use.

Questions owners ask

Electrical contractors ask a narrower set of questions than a general software page does.

What is a good AI assistant for an electrical contractor?

Doing Work lets the assistant you already pay for book the call, draft the quote, and hold the invoice. Quote or invoice lines the assistant drafted stay unsent until a person whose role may send them sends them. The owner can always send quotes, invoices and visit recaps. Office can send them for any job, a lead for jobs on their crew, and field for jobs assigned to them, until the owner turns that send off. The first $1,000 you're paid each month is free. Above that we take 0.5%, up to $149 in a month. No subscription. It launched in 2026 and has no public reviews yet.

Can I send three prices for a panel without three quotes?

Yes. Good, better, and best are options on one quote. The customer picks one while signing. Optional lines, such as a surge device, can sit beside the option they chose. The invoice uses the option and the optional lines they picked.

How do I keep a permit photo without pretending the software pulled the permit?

Tag the photo. The docs use permit as an example tag, next to leak and panel. You can also record a permit fee as an expense in the permit category, with the receipt. Doing Work does not file permits or look up a jurisdiction's fee.

Can two electricians be on one service call?

Yes. A visit can have more than one worker, and finding a time can require all of them to be free at once. You can save a named crew and book it by that crew. The terms name owner, office, lead, and field. The invite itself is office or field.

Does the morning of a rough-in need an app?

No. The assistant walks the worker through the shop's visit steps in the conversation. Any step can be skipped. There are no buttons to tap and no app to open. A checklist on the visit can still block marking it done while a required item is open.
