Residential contractors are drowning in office work. Drillbit automates all of it. We use AI receptionists and an LLM based quoting tool on top of our own CRM to entirely manage jobs from lead, to quote, to scheduling, to staffing, and even collecting payment.

Automating Office Work for Residential Contractors

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an AI-driven platform that automates the entire backend office workflow for residential contractors. Our product combines AI receptionists, an LLM-powered quoting tool, and a custom CRM. It manages everything from incoming leads, generating quotes, scheduling jobs, staffing crews, to collecting payments.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Austin, TX and the company is based here and will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Austin has a growing tech scene with a strong base of contractors who understand the office pain points we solve. Being local helps us work closely with initial customers and iterate fast.
