Real agent workflows running today on solar, construction, and field jobs — daily logs, material orders, safety talks, commissioning docs. Each one broken down honestly: what it does, what it costs, and where it breaks.

Use cases

Every workflow here runs on a real job. Start with the one that eats the most of your week.

Reporting

Site photos sorted into the daily record

It's 5:40 p.m. in the site trailer and the superintendent is scrolling his camera roll — hundreds of photos from the week — looking for the one trench shot taken before...

Quality

Megger test records that file and flag themselves

It's late afternoon at the combiner boxes and the tester is staring at a megger display, shielding it from glare, a smudged paper form in his other hand. The next...

Materials

Submittal and RFI chase, run by an agent

It's Tuesday in the site trailer and procurement is asking for a release date. The superintendent opens the submittal log expecting green — and finds the...

Field Ops

The paper form that builds its own app

It's 6:50 a.m. in the site trailer and the foreman is staring at a clipboard: yesterday's equipment check half-filled in pencil, a safety form photocopied until...

Communication

An iMessage agent that takes the job while you're on one

It's 8:40 p.m. and the owner of a three-truck plumbing shop is under a house swapping out a water heater when a homeowner three towns over texts the number off the truck...

Management

Two-week lookahead, built not typed

Every Friday afternoon, the superintendent opens the master schedule, a delivery tracker, an inspection list, and last week's lookahead, then rebuilds...

Materials

Three-way match on every delivery

A truck shows up at the laydown yard. The driver wants a signature and a fast turnaround. Someone counts pallets, not boxes, signs the ticket, and the...

Safety

Weather go / no-go for rooftop work

Rooftop weather calls get made at 5:40 a.m. in a truck, with a phone in one hand. The superintendent glances at a forecast app, sees nothing alarming,...

Field Ops

QR-code crew check-in

On a commercial solar site, the sign-in sheet lives on a clipboard at the gate trailer. Half the crew signs in. The other half arrives while the...

Money

Per diem and lodging, tracked to the dollar

A superintendent running a solar build three hours from the home office has a crew on the road for weeks. Each person earns per diem. Each person also...

Quality

Inspection-readiness checklist from open punch items

Two weeks before a final inspection, the open items live in four places. The punch list is in a spreadsheet or project app. Commissioning gaps are in...

Safety

Incident and near-miss reports by voice

A near miss happens at 9:40 on a rooftop array. A module slips from a rail clip while two installers are carrying it, and it lands on the deck a few...

Reporting

Manpower forecast by cost code

Labor overruns rarely show up on the day they happen. They show up when the weekly cost report lands, and by then the hours are paid and the crew has...

Quality

Punch-list photo chase

Closeout on a commercial solar array or a tenant buildout comes down to the punch list. Every item has an owner and a due date. Every item also needs a...

Field Ops

Meter and tool check-out log

On a commercial solar job, test gear moves around. The megger goes to the combiner box crew on Monday, the clamp meter rides in someone's truck, and...

Communication

End-of-day voice memo to tomorrow's plan

At quitting time, the superintendent knows everything. Which rows of modules got landed, which trench failed its compaction check, which delivery...

Safety

Safety meeting, prepped by an agent

The weekly safety meeting gets built in the truck, ten minutes before the crew gathers. The superintendent grabs a topic from a binder or a generic...

Safety

JHA drafted from the day's scope

Most job hazard analyses get written in a hurry. The crew is on site, the truck is unloaded, and someone has to fill out the form before the first task...

Management

Certification expiry tracker

A lapsed card rarely gets noticed on the day it expires. It gets noticed when an inspector, a GC safety rep, or an owner's site orientation asks to see...

Quality

Closeout binder, assembled as you go

Substantial completion hits, and the owner wants the closeout package. Now someone is digging through email for the inverter O&M manual, calling the...

Materials

Long-lead gear tracker

Switchgear gets ordered in the spring and is needed on site in the fall. In between, nobody looks at it closely. The PO sits in a folder. The vendor...

Field Ops

Ask the drawings

A foreman is standing at the end of a row of racking and needs to know the conduit size for the home run to the combiner. Or the embed depth at a pier....

Management

Change-order first draft

A scope change rarely announces itself. The AHJ inspector wants a different conduit routing at the inverter pad. The owner's rep walks the array field...

Management

Schedule scenario planning, run before you commit

A superintendent looks at a three-week lookahead and has to pick one plan. The module delivery slipped two days. The forecast shows rain midweek. One...

Safety

A second set of eyes on safety compliance

The JHA gets written at 6:15 in the morning, on the tailgate of a truck, by someone who also has a delivery to chase and a crew waiting. It gets copied...

Management

The 6 AM superintendent's brief

Weather, crew, deliveries, and open loops assembled overnight into one page — sorted Must, Should, Could — before the crew mobilizes.

Payroll

Time records reconciled before payroll runs

Timekeeping punches, daily manpower counts, and the crew roster checked against each other before payroll is due — one exception list to fix, a day early.

Reporting

Daily logs that write themselves from delivery tickets

Photos of delivery tickets emailed in, parsed by an agent, and posted as a draft daily log — manpower, materials, and notes ready for review.

Materials

A gate on every material order before it goes out

An agent checks every line for a valid cost code and quantity before the order reaches purchasing. Bad lines bounce back with the reason.

Safety

Toolbox talks generated from the day's actual work

Pick the topic from today's scope, get a ready-to-send talk with a 30-second script — matched to the hazards the crew is actually facing.

Communication

A voice agent that takes field updates by phone

Foremen call in progress, blockers, and headcounts. The agent transcribes, structures, and files the update where the office can see it.

Management

A morning audit of every open loop

One scan of email, calendar, and messages each morning: who is waiting on you, what is stranded, ranked by what delay costs most.

Reporting

Production reports built from field counts

Crew counts and installed quantities in, formatted production report out — same template every day, no Sunday-night spreadsheet sessions.

Quality

Commissioning paperwork that tracks itself

Megger and insulation-resistance results logged as they happen, gaps flagged before closeout — not discovered during it.

Communication

Real-time translation for mixed-language crews

Live translation earbuds plus an agent that keeps a bilingual glossary of your site's terms, so safety instructions land the first time.

Training

An exam drill agent for journeyman candidates

Timed practice sets in the real exam format, weighted to weak topics, drilled in the gaps of a field schedule — no classroom required.

Money

A monthly audit of what your accounts quietly drain

An agent pulls spending by category, flags new and rising subscriptions, and lines up cancellations for your approval. Nothing cancels itself.
