Remodeling general contractor helping blue-collar business owners leverage AI to eliminate the white-collar admin work they hate.

Me booting up OpenClaw🦞 instances for blue collar business owners all over the USA — training each one about the business before digitally introducing the owner to their new AI Chief of Staff that works for them 24/7.

I left the Army after nearly 14 years of service, including 12 combat deployments. I paid back $39,000 of my re-enlistment bonus to get out early and then gritted through 8 years of small business ownership for days just like this one. I took my son with me to the building supply store, and then we came back to our farm and installed some additional masonry piers on our house. It takes a lot of prayer to be at peace while working at a steady and natural pace with my kids, even as responsibilities stack up by the minute. But I’m getting better at it—one day at a time.

I'm a remodeling contractor and 14-year Army Special Operations veteran. For almost 10 years I've fought the same battle every trade business owner fights. Admin, lead follow-up, emails, scheduling, estimating, invoicing. All the stuff that isn't building. Then I got an AI agent. It now manages most of that for me. I stay in the field and build actual stuff for my clients. So I thought, why not put this in the hands of other tradesmen? I built Blue Collar OS. Here's what the data says: construction, installation, and repair trades have massive AI capability but almost zero actual usage. The tools exist. Nobody's built them for blue collar. So I started putting agents in the hands of tradesmen. Here's what happened: Rodney is a 62-year-old local plumber. He paid me to set up an agent on a Mac Mini in his office. He canceled a $40,000 consulting contract and built a pricing app for his field techs. In the first weekend. Matt owns Flo Glass Company. Built an entire customer portal for his business, including pricing apps for his technicians. His words: "We removed the biggest limiting factor in growing my company. Coders are in trouble." These aren't tech founders. They're tradesmen. A plumber, a glass guy. Building software because AI met them where they are. On their phone. In plain English. There are 30 million trade businesses doing over $2 trillion in revenue in the United States. Less than 1% are using AI. Not because they can't. Because nobody built it for them. 4 out of 5 of those businesses have zero office staff. The owner does everything. We gave them a chief of staff for less monthly than their cell phone bill... (not including tokens)

I was working in my home office and had to come out and enjoy my wife and children kicking off the home school day in a glorious way… O for a thousand tongues to sing!
