FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can the Front Desk Agent differentiate between a fence repair and a new deck build?
Yes. It uses your configured service taxonomy to classify jobs by type and value, and escalates or auto-books based on your thresholds.
Can the Quoting Agent handle voice memos from job sites?
Yes. Record a voice note describing the scope, and the agent transcribes it and builds a structured quote from your price book automatically.
How does emergency handling work — for a collapsed deck, for example?
The agent detects urgent keywords in any channel (text, chat, email) and immediately sends you a priority notification with the customer's details, regardless of time of day.
Does it track permit requirements for different projects?
Yes. You can flag service types that require permits (new decks, certain fences) and the agent includes permit fees in quotes and tracks permit status per job.
Can I set different autonomy levels per agent?
Yes. Each agent has a configurable autonomy setting — from 'auto-approve everything' to 'ask me before every action.' Most owners start with auto-booking for routine jobs and approval-required for quotes over $X.
Does it sync with my Google Calendar?
Yes, two-way sync. The agent knows your real availability when booking jobs and adds every new booking to your calendar automatically.
Can my crew use it on their phones?
Yes. Crew members get a mobile-first view: their daily schedule, job details, photo upload, and mark-complete. Works as a PWA — no app store install required.
How is this different from other contractor software?
Other software helps you organize your work. Sterling actually does the work for you. It's an AI team that manages your back office, not just a tool to manage it yourself.
Can I import my existing customer list?
Yes. CSV import with column mapping. Most contractors are fully imported in under 10 minutes.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 14-day free trial, full access
