// case study

An email-to-quote AI agent for a $2.5M EBITDA HVAC contractor.

A small business automation build: an AI agent that turns incoming quote requests into quotes, plus a job-tracking system that shows per-project profitability every day.

// the challenge

The owner of a $2.5M EBITDA HVAC contractor was personally answering every incoming quote request by email and had no daily visibility into which jobs were actually profitable once material and labor were counted.

// outcome

The owner got the quoting bottleneck off their plate and daily, per-project profitability numbers they didn't have before, both running without ongoing manual work.

// approach
  1. 1

    Built an email-to-quote AI agent that reads incoming requests and generates quotes, removing the owner as the bottleneck on every new lead.

  2. 2

    Built a job-tracking system that rolls up daily material costs and hours against each job, so per-project profitability is visible without manual spreadsheet work.

  3. 3

    Shipped the full build, using Make for orchestration, OpenAI for the quoting agent, and Airtable as the operating system underneath both, in 3 months.
