No subscription. url: https://doingwork.work/for/tree-service/ --- # AI for a tree service Tree work shows up as a storm call, a trim the customer has been putting off, or a removal with a price that changes when you see the tree. Doing Work keeps the request, the crew, the quote, and the change. ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok drafts from what you say, at 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. ## The storm call Log it, book a visit, mark it emergency. The suggestion list is people who are free right then, then the ones with fewer visits today. You assign the crew. Photos from the street go on the job with a summary of what is on the roof or the car. Attach the ones the customer should see to the quote. Your copy keeps where the photo was taken. The copy on the quote does not. Trim and removal are options if you are willing to do either. You set both prices. They pick on the link and can pay a deposit. A same-week job that is not a storm is urgent, which uses the same suggestion list and still does not assign anyone. ## On the job If the tree is larger, or the drop zone is worse, write a change order before you keep cutting on a price you cannot defend. The assistant drafts the lines. The owner or office sends it. The customer signs. Chip and dump fees are disposal expenses you type from the receipt. A purchase order is there if you are buying something for this job. Most tree jobs will not need one. Clocked time is labor cost on the job, split into job, drive, shop, and break. It is not a paycheck. A checklist can require photos of the finished stump or the cleared roof before the visit is marked done. The assistant cannot override that. There is no app the climber has to install. They talk to the assistant, and the phone browser can take the photo. ## Say this after a storm - "Three storm calls just came in. Mark them emergency and tell me who is free. Do not assign." - "Draft trim and removal options for the oak in the photo. Use my prices. Hold the send." - "The tree is bigger than the quote. Draft a change order for the extra hours I dictate." - "Add the chip fee as a disposal expense. Show me the job cost with labor included." [Quickstart](https://doingwork.work/docs/quickstart/).

It can log the storm call, mark it emergency, and draft a trim-or-removal quote from prices you set. 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 will not assign the crew. ### What if the tree is bigger once we are on site? Draft a change order for the extra hours or the extra wood. The owner or office sends it. The customer signs on a hosted page. A change order can also be a credit if you are taking work off. ### How do I book a climber and a ground person together? Save them as a crew, or require every person to be free at the same time. Overlaps and time off come back as warnings. Doing Work does not pick a different crew for you. ### Where does the dump or the chip fee go? As an expense in the disposal category, with the receipt. You type the amount. It shows in job cost with labor and materials. It does not become a customer line unless you write one. ### Do you pick the driving order of storm jobs? No. You get who is free and who has the lighter day. Ordering the drive is your assistant and a maps tool, saved back if you want. Doing Work does not do that ordering.
