The builder app
Whichever app you already pay for. The agent reads it just like the owner does, faster, and without forgetting.
Every GC has the data, every job, every subcontractor, every punch list, sitting in his builder app. The crews don't. Crew Agent is a background worker that reads the app at sunrise, splits the day per crew, and sends each worker one text with their schedule and punch list. No login. No app. Just a text.
Whichever app you already pay for. The agent reads it just like the owner does, faster, and without forgetting.
Reasons over the data: who's qualified, who's free, what's overdue, what the weather says. Drafts one message per worker.
Sends and receives real texts from a dedicated number. Crews save it as a contact. No app, no login.
Workers don't install anything. They get a text from "Mike, Crew Agent." They text back if they have questions.
Auto-translated to each worker's preferred language. Set once.
The owner texts the agent back at any time. It pulls fresh data and answers.
The name of it, plus an admin-level login so the agent can read the same things the owner reads.
Names, phone numbers, and which language each worker prefers to read in. One spreadsheet is plenty.
Twenty minutes on a call. The owner walks through what they do at 7am, what he forgets, what falls through.
From there it's a short build, a single-day pilot on your real schedule, and then it's running every morning before he's out of bed. The hard part isn't the code, it's getting the messages right for your crews. That's what the discovery call is for.
That's the one variable. Once we know that, we know whether we're talking two weeks or four. Everything else in this memo is already battle-tested infrastructure.
