LIVE STATUS

Instant job updates

The AI pulls current data to tell you exactly which jobs are active or completed. You get the latest status without manual refreshes.

ORDER TRACKING

Work order specifics

Ask about individual work orders to see their current stage. You'll know if a task is pending, in progress, or finished.

REQUEST LOGS

Service request oversight

Check on incoming service requests to see what needs attention. Your AI identifies new or unassigned requests instantly.

HUMAN ACTION

FAQ

How the monitoring works

  • 01

    Can the AI change the status of a work order?

    No. The AI can only read and list existing jobs, work orders, and service requests. You must update statuses manually in your software.

  • 02

    Does the AI see all my historical data?

    The AI only sees the data it can access through the specific tools provided, which are focused on current jobs, work orders, and service requests.

  • 03

    Can I ask about a specific technician?

    Yes, if that technician is associated with the jobs or work orders the AI is currently listing.

  • 04

    Can the AI delete a job if I tell it to?

    No. There are no tools available to the AI that allow for deleting or modifying your records.

  • 05

    How often does the AI see new service requests?

    The AI sees whatever is currently available in your system at the moment you ask the question.
