What is an AI employee?
Not a chatbot and not another app to fill out. You tell Eddie about the job the way you would tell a person, and the estimate gets written, priced, and sent. Same with Josie on the schedule and Ivy on the invoices.
- You talk, they work: voice or text, on the drive between jobs.
- They know your rates: priced off your own rate book, not a guess.
- They follow up until it is signed, and until it is paid.
- You stay on the tools, which is the whole point of hiring them.
Meet the crew
Eddie, estimates and sales
Talk the job through and Eddie writes the estimate, prices it off your rate book, sends it for signature, and follows up until it is signed. He also builds estimates off your plans, sends e-sign links, and chases every unanswered estimate by text and email.
Josie, job management
Josie keeps every job organized and protects your margins: your schedule, your pipeline, job photos, change orders, and the client updates that used to eat your evenings.
Ivy, invoicing
The day the work is done, Ivy builds the invoice and sends it, takes card or ACH payments, follows up until it clears, and keeps it all in sync with QuickBooks.
Simple to start. No surprises.
- Just talk. It does the paperwork. Describe the job by voice or text and Staxen builds the estimate on the spot, priced and ready to send.
- It learns your business. It prices off your own rates and materials and gets sharper with every job.
- It follows up for you. Every estimate and invoice gets chased by text and email until it is signed and paid.
- It works with your tools. Payments run through Stripe, your books stay in sync with QuickBooks, and everything sends from your own email.

Things people ask
What is Staxen?
Staxen is an office of AI employees for subcontractors and trade contractors. Hire one or all three: Eddie writes and sends your estimates, Josie runs your projects and change orders, and Ivy builds your invoices and chases the payment. Built for electricians, plumbers, HVAC, framers, drywall, concrete, and roofing crews.
How much does Staxen cost?
You hire the employees you need. The first 7 days are free with all three unlocked. After that each AI employee is $59/month, or all three for $149/month. No setup fees, cancel any employee any time.
Do I have to hire all three?
No. Hire just the one you need. Eddie, Josie, and Ivy each work on their own, so most crews start with the pain that hurts most (usually Eddie for estimates) and add the others later.
How fast can I send an estimate?
Minutes. Talk the job through and Eddie writes the priced, itemized estimate on the spot, then texts it for signature before you leave the driveway. Plans take a little longer: hand him the PDF and he counts the material off the prints, but that still lands in minutes, not days.
How does Staxen know my prices?
Staxen prices off your numbers, not a national price book. Eddie learns your rates and your materials and services catalog and builds every estimate from them, so it fits your market. Tell Eddie the job location and he suggests the right state sales-tax rate to confirm, so working across state lines is no problem.
Do I need to switch from QuickBooks?
No. Ivy pushes estimates and invoices into QuickBooks Online automatically when they go out, and pulls payment status back. Your accountant keeps QuickBooks. You stop opening it.
How does the voice thing actually work?
Tap once, talk like you would to an employee. Staxen transcribes it, structures it into the right document, and shows it to you before anything goes out.
Can Eddie text estimates to my clients?
Yes. Eddie texts estimates from your dedicated business number with a secure signing link. You apply for the number in Staxen, and it is registered with the carriers through Twilio. The client opens the link, reviews, e-signs, and pays a deposit from their phone. No app, no login. Ivy sends invoices the same way.
Does Staxen have a mobile app?
Yes. Staxen runs on iPhone, Android, and the web. Most contractors run the whole day from the phone: estimates from the truck, job photos on site, payments in the field.
Does Staxen work in Spanish?
Yes. The whole app runs in English or Spanish. Switch any time in settings.
Is Staxen for general contractors?
Yes. Staxen is built for the trades, and general contractors run on it too, because you hire only the employees you need. A GC who wants quotes out fast hires Eddie, a GC drowning in billing hires Ivy, and a GC who wants the whole back office hires all three.
Can I see it before I buy?
Yes. Book a short live demo and Gavin walks you through the real thing at a time you pick. Or just start: the first 7 days are free in the app, so you can try it on real jobs.
Can I cancel?
Month to month. Cancel any employee from settings. We export everything. Estimates, invoices, customers, the lot.
The office runs itself.
Stack all three and the whole thing runs from the first estimate to the last payment. Start free or talk to us.
