AI for Maintenance Contractors

You might think that there wouldn't be much use for AI in the home improvement and maintenance field, but the truth is that artificial intelligence can be useful in just about every industry. While it can't exactly fix a leaky faucet, put up moldings, or patch drywall, AI can take care of a lot of the paperwork behind the business of being a handyperson.

The Benefits of AI for Repair Specialists

Using AI for handyman contractors can have a variety of benefits, including:

• Less Time Dealing With Phone Calls and Scheduling: An AI voice assistant can answer your phone and book appointments for estimates, and a chatbot can answer questions for potential customers online, so you can stay focused on the jobs you've already been hired to do. If you have employees, AI can also help you schedule everyone's tasks to keep all of your projects on track.
• Help With Marketing Your Business: AI can help you to create social media posts, online ads, and blog posts to attract customers.
• Hassle-Free Contracts and Invoices: Just ask an AI tool to generate a contract for your next job or create an invoice to send to a customer and it can be taken care of quickly and easily.

One of the areas where AI can really shine is generating text to help a handyperson market their business. Try these AI prompts for handyman contractors who need to create engaging and professional content for their website or social media accounts:
