Doing Work can take both, from ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok, once the assistant is on 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. ## Before breakfast Log the call, book a visit, and mark it emergency. Doing Work ranks field workers and owners who are free, not on time off, and inside their hours, then by who has fewer visits today. You assign. If on-the-way notices are on, the customer gets a text and an email when you say you are on the way. You can put an arrival time on it. Doing Work does not look up a drive time and does not track the truck. Phone answering is optional and easy to oversell. It needs your Twilio number and your ElevenLabs or Grok voice agent. It tells the caller it is an AI assistant and that the call is transcribed. It never makes up a price. A fixed trip fee is spoken only if you saved one. [Phone setup](https://doingwork.work/docs/phone-setup/) is the whole story. Quote follow-up and invoice reminders already run by email if you never turn the phone on. ## Spring, opener, yearly check A repair quote can offer a spring job and a new opener as options, with the prices from your book. The customer signs on the link and can pay a deposit before you order anything odd. The opener or the springs go on a purchase order for that job. Receive them and the cost lands. Photos of the old spring and the opener label stay on the job, with a summary you can search, and you can attach them to the quote. A yearly safety check is a service due date with a 12-month repeat, not a weekly route. Book the visit when they pick a morning. A checklist on that visit can require the balance test and the photo eyes before anyone marks it done. The assistant cannot skip that gate. The owner can override it on a hosted page, with a reason that is kept. ## Dictate this - "Stuck door on Pine. Emergency. Who is free right now? Do not assign them until I answer." - "Draft a quote with a spring repair option and a new opener option. Hold the send." - "Purchase order for two springs on this job. Tell me when receiving it will hit the cost." - "Set a service due for a yearly check, repeating every 12 months. Do not email them until I turn reminders on." Connect first or those lines do nothing to your jobs. [Quickstart](https://doingwork.work/docs/quickstart/).

[Pricing](https://doingwork.work/docs/pricing/). Garage door shops often look at [Jobber](https://doingwork.work/docs/compare/jobber/), [Housecall Pro](https://doingwork.work/docs/compare/housecall-pro/), and [Workiz](https://doingwork.work/docs/compare/workiz/). ## Questions owners ask Garage door owners ask about the morning emergency and the part that is not on the truck. ### Can ChatGPT run a garage door company, including the 7am stuck door? It can, after it is connected to Doing Work. Mark the visit emergency, read who is free, and assign the person yourself. The assistant will not assign them. 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. ### How do I price a spring repair versus a new opener? As options on one quote, from your price book or from prices you say. The customer picks on the signing link. An optional line can add keypads or photo eyes. ### When is the spring on the job's cost? When you receive the purchase order. Drafting the order does not add the cost. There is no stock location. A count on hand is available if you track springs to a low point. ### Can I remind a customer about a yearly tune-up? Record a service due date and have it repeat every 12 months. Email is off until you turn it on. Then they get one email ahead of the date, 14 days by default. You still book the visit. ### Does the on-call tech get a native app? No. There is no app to install. They use the assistant and web pages in the phone browser. If you connect Twilio and a voice agent, an emergency call can transfer to the on-call person, text them, or book into emergency times you opened ahead.
