What is happening now.
Luxin, an AI consulting firm, built, is building, or proposed this work. The status above says which.
Hundreds of handwritten invoices a year, each re-keyed into the bookkeeping software and then logged again by hand.
Billing catch-ups running eight to ten hours when it gets busy.
Paper work orders written out the night before, and rewritten mid-job when an urgent call comes in.
An invoice lookup that takes one minute on paper and ten in their software.
The numbers, with what they mean.
- 48 years
- of running the business, with the invoices still on paper
- The problem found
- 8–10 hours
- a single billing catch-up, as the problem found
- The problem found
- ~$4,500
- a month the current way costs at $50 an hour, worked out together on the call
- The problem found
Every figure says where it came from. A problem found is not a result.
What is proposed.
- 01
A photo of a handwritten invoice becomes a typed invoice. The owner taps approve, and it lands in the books and a searchable log.
- 02
Replies to the morning email drafted in their voice, into Drafts, for them to read and send.
- 03
Paper work orders typed once and sent to the plumber’s phone, so nothing is rewritten mid-job.
- 04
A pricing brain that learns how the owner prices and drafts the quote.
- 05
Customers nobody has called in 18 months get a note, and every happy customer gets asked for a review.
The tools it works inside.
Nothing goes out without you.
Invoices, quotes and emails: nothing is sent until a person taps approve. When they trust it, they can switch any piece to automatic. Not before.
Where this stands.
Proposed, not yet delivered. Nothing on this page is a result.
