You run the crew.
Deskhand runs the office.

No. No new apps, no new subscriptions, no logins, nothing to install. Your text line is included in the price. Setup is one 30-minute phone call where you tell us your services, towns, and pricing — we wire everything up, you watch it work on your own phone for a week, then flip it live. Your phone buzzes when it matters. That's the whole system.

It texts like a sharp office person and signs as your team — never a fake name. You see every message and can take over any thread instantly. Anything unusual gets escalated to you instead of improvised.

Jobber stores your leads. It doesn't answer them at 7am from the truck. Deskhand is the employee working inside Jobber — it fills Jobber with qualified, conversation-logged leads.

It can't. It collects availability and qualifies the job, but a human always confirms the actual booking. That's a hard rule in the engine, not a setting.

Answer your phone when it escalates, and confirm bookings. That's the product: it does the office work, you do the yes/no.

Yes — built compliant from day one (CASL in Canada, TCPA in the US): opt-out language in the first message of every new thread, and it honours STOP instantly.
