YC W26AI Workers for Field Services
About
We automate the back office so field crews can focus on the actual work. Trades businesses (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, collision repair, roofing) run on legacy software and "glue" employees: people whose entire job is clicking through systems, copy-pasting between tools, and managing inbound volume across channels. A collision shop has one person generating estimates in CCCOne, another chasing parts vendors, another answering calls and Yelp messages, another doing invoices in QuickBooks. None of that requires a human. We build proactive background agents that run these operations autonomously -- quoting, estimating, procurement, insurance coordination, scheduling, follow-ups -- on top of the software these businesses already own. We started as an AI consulting firm talking to businesses across every industry. After a month, the pattern was obvious - trades and field services had the most "glue work" and the least tech sophistication to solve it themselves. Every shop we walked into had 2–4 people doing work that software should be delivering as an outcome, not just enabling. Our GTM is direct to operators and through PE-backed roll-ups, who are actively looking for margin improvements across their portfolio companies.
