Run a junk removal business from Claude or ChatGPT

Junk removal is a photo of a pile, a price you are willing to say, and a dump fee after. Doing Work can hold the photo, the quote, and the expense. Claude, ChatGPT, or Grok drafts the words once connected at https://doingwork.work/mcp. You still name the price. 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 pile

Send the photo. The assistant writes what it shows and files it on the job. If it cannot see the file, it says so instead of guessing. Attach that photo to the quote so the customer is agreeing to the pile in the picture. There is no cubic-yard engine and no automatic price. A line is a description, a quantity, and a unit price you provide. Options help when you are offering a partial load versus a full truck.

They sign on a link and can pay a deposit before you drive over. Same-day work is a visit you mark urgent. You get who is free. You pick. On the way, if notices are on, they get a text and an email. Doing Work does not track the truck, and it does not look up a drive time.

The dump and the cash

The disposal expense is a category on the receipt you record. Type the amount. If a purchase order for a dumpster was already received on the job, the software can flag a possible duplicate so you do not count the dump twice. Labor, if you clock it, is job time, drive time, shop time, or a break. That feeds job cost. It is not payroll, and Doing Work will not pay the helper.

Cash or check is mark paid outside. The customer's pay link is for card or bank into your Stripe account. A quote follow-up email still goes out on its own if they have not answered, 3 days later unless you changed it. A new quote does not.

Dictate

  • "Here is the garage photo. Draft a full-load quote at the price I say, and a partial-load option. Do not send."
  • "Mark it urgent for this afternoon. Who is free? Do not assign them."
  • "Add the dump receipt as a disposal expense for the amount I typed."
  • "They paid cash. Mark it paid outside."

Quickstart connects the assistant. /ai/ covers the fee and the assistants.

Questions owners ask

Junk removal owners ask whether the software will price a pile from a photo. It will not pick the number.

Can Claude or ChatGPT price a junk removal job from a photo?

The assistant can look at the photo, describe the pile, and draft a quote at a price you set. It must not invent the price. 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. There is no volume calculator. 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.

What if they pay cash when we finish?

Mark the invoice paid outside Doing Work. That payment carries no Doing Work fee. Card and bank still go to your Stripe account, and the fee applies to those.

Where does the dump fee go?

Record it as an expense in the disposal category, with the receipt photo. The worker types the amount. Doing Work does not read the receipt and fill in the number.

Can I mark a same-day pile as urgent?

Yes. Priority is normal, urgent, or emergency. Urgent and emergency get a suggestion of who is free. You assign. It does not move your other jobs by itself.

Do I need a crew in the software if it is me and one helper?

Put both people on the visit, or save them as a crew. There is no per-person price. A field worker sees their own day, not the other person's prices, unless you have allowed that.
