@AizikZimerman has anyone tried those ai agents that auto generate ads?

Most home service companies undervalue marketing. In this industry, the spotlight is almost always on operations, efficiency, utilization, upsells, while the real growth question gets ignored: How do we consistently acquire new customers? At J Blanton Plumbing, marketing drives everything we do. It’s why we’ve grown quickly and why we continue to double down. We hire for it, invest in it, and refine it relentlessly. While most companies outsource their marketing, we build it in-house. Developing that capability internally is one of the strongest competitive advantages a service business can have. If you want real growth, market like your business depends on it, because it does.

@WilsonCompanies We started using this new ai agent @ServiceSocket for inbound/outbound calls. integrates with 50+ tools, speaks dozens of languages, books jobs, dispatches the tech, and chases down the invoice. Highly recommend it.

How are you deploying AI in your service business? Would love to hear what you're doing in 2026.

@HVACSEO we use @ServiceSocket

The electrician in Omaha who responds to every lead in under 4 minutes closes 60% of them. His competitors? Only 37% reached out to leads within 60 minutes. 24% took over 24 hours, and 23% never responded at all (Harvard Business Review) Brag to your friends and family that you're the best closer on the phone. You can leave out the part about just simply returning calls

@toddsaunders building cool tools without a coding background is surprisingly easy with claude code. keeping them from breaking a month later is the real problem.

If you're in a blue collar industry using Claude Code to build. I want to hear from you. You are the most important people in software right now and nobody is paying attention. Reply below, share your project or shoot me a dm!

@NASA @NASAKennedy Why does Nasa show the CGI graphic so much? It only shows the cool stuff for 2 seconds and switches back to some graphic. Please keep the live camera feed rotation going.

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Legacy CRMs: 6-month setups, expensive consultants, endless hand-holding. Our shop switched last year to smart voice agents, automated dispatch, and crm with lead qualification set up in days. The era of paying someone to babysit your software implementation in the trades seems outdated. Software is moving away from being a clunky system of record to becoming a system of action and intelligence.

The best money you'll ever spend on your CRM is paying someone else to set it up. I'm serious. Every business owner does the same thing. They buy the CRM, watch a couple YouTube tutorials, drag some stuff around for a weekend, and call it done. Then 6 months later they're running their whole company off a system that's half built. Leads falling through the cracks. No automations. Pipeline stages that make no sense. Reports that don't tell you anything. And they're sitting there going "CRMs don't work" when the real problem is they did a half-ass set up. These platforms are way deeper than most people realize. The automations, the workflows, the reporting, the integrations with your phone system and your email and your invoicing. There are guys who spend years learning how to build that stuff properly. Pay one of them $2K-$5K to set it up right from day one. Get your pipeline dialed. Get your follow-up sequences automated. Get your reporting clean so you actually know where your money is going. That one investment will make you $100K+ within a year because you'll stop losing the leads you're already paying for. The CRM USUALLY isn't the problem. The person who set up the CRM for you is!!

I was quoted $10,000 to install two dehumidifiers in my crawlspace. I saved $7,500 by designing a DIY custom crawl space dehumidification system with Claude 🤑 I am not an HVAC professional. Here’s how I did it. Our story begins with the discovery that our new home needed a dehumidifier installed in the crawl space to prevent mold. The professionals told me it would cost $10k, since I’d need one unit on each end due to the size of the space, plus a second drain line installed. “Can’t we just use fans to move the humid air from one side toward the dehumidifier?” They wouldn’t do that. Enter Claude… I uploaded a floor plan of my crawl space and air volume dimensions, telling Claude what I was trying to do. It researched the best dehumidifier sized appropriately for my air volume (100 pints apparently). Found me the best price - $1,500. Now it was time for fans 💨 I had originally envisioned the single dehumidifier at one end of the space, with fans on the opposite end. Claude taught me that would just draw more moist outdoor air in through the vents on that side, creating a linear flow through the crawl space. Instead it modeled the air flow and suggested a circular vortex with 4 fans, one on each wall, in a circle. That sucks in minimal outdoor air, keeping cool dry air circulating. I told it to research appropriate fans. It found four 20” sealed bearing fans on Amazon (impervious to dust), with DC drive motors (more energy efficient than AC apparently). $120 each. 🔌 It told me to buy a smart plug for each fan and a few internet connected humidity sensors. Another $200. Claude mapped where to install everything in the crawl space. Here’s how it works - the humidity sensors monitor the crawl space air continuously. If it ever exceeds 60% humidity, the smart plugs switch on all 4 fans, circulating the air in the crawl space past the dehumidifier until the humidity is below 50% 🔃🔃🔃 Total cost ~$2,500 for everything and one Saturday of work for me. I saved $7,500 vs. the original quote because I didn’t need two dehumidifiers, and Claude tells me my version is nearly twice as energy efficient. Plus I learned a ton about my home and had fun. I didn’t know anything about dehumidifiers, fans, or air flow dynamics before starting. AI can do so much more than write code - the applications are endless.

Been down that road and it's painful. way over priced for ST. 2015 era software. contract lock in friction. needed to hire a "certified" expert to just to run the damn thing. It eats into margins and penalizes you as the shop grows with a per tech costs. There are much better solutions now.

Only on Service Titan for 1 day but the improved view into the data is already clear. Red line is my acquisition date... Feb isn't over. Let's go!

@nick_white @recap_david @ServiceSocket We use @ServiceSocket and it works great!

The added abstraction of the n8n + ElevenLabs STT→LLM→TTS pipeline introduces noticeable latency that kills natural flow on live calls and won’t scale. True real-time audio-to-audio is the way forward. check out @servicesocket. Best one I have seen so far. It can speak like 100 languages fluently. Delivers ultra-low latency, natural-sounding voice agents with seamless integrations to over 50+ tools, including Google Sheets.

$24,000 per year from this simple AI Dentist Voice Agent (and why I’m probably insane for giving it away for free) One dental practice was bleeding $6,000+ every month from missed after-hours phone calls. That’s 20–25 potential new patients disappearing simply because no one was there to answer and book. So I built an AI voice receptionist that books dental appointments 24/7, powered by n8n + ElevenLabs, and guided by the clinic’s internal rules and real scheduling availability. Here’s what the system handles automatically: → Picks up calls with a natural-sounding AI receptionist → Captures patient info + insurance details → Checks live calendar availability → Schedules appointments instantly → Logs every interaction into a Google Sheet The wild part? A nearly identical AI voice system was sold to a dental practice for $24,000 per year by another founder. And this isn’t limited to dentists. Any service business losing revenue from missed calls can deploy the exact same setup. Want the full n8n workflow template? 1. Retweet & Like 2. Follow me 3. Comment “ASSISTANT” I’ll send you the entire system for free, plus a step-by-step setup video — including all the ElevenLabs automation pieces. (must be following so I can dm you)

This is the best voice agent i have tried. If you run a services business and don't want calls slipping through the cracks, then this is it. plugs right into my CRM and calendar.

🚨Architects are going to hate this. Someone just open sourced a full 3D building editor that runs entirely in your browser. No AutoCAD. No Revit. No $5,000/year licenses. It's called Pascal Editor. Built with React Three Fiber and WebGPU -- meaning it renders directly on your GPU at near-native speed. Here's what's inside this thing: → A full building/level/wall/zone hierarchy you can edit in real time → An ECS-style architecture where every object updates through GPU-powered systems → Zustand state management with full undo/redo built in → Next.js frontend so it deploys as a web app, not a desktop install → Dirty node tracking -- only re-renders what changed, not the whole scene Here's the wildest part: You can stack, explode, or solo individual building levels. Select a zone, drag a wall, reshape a slab -- all in 3D, all in the browser. Architecture firms pay $50K+ per seat for BIM software that does this workflow. This is free. 100% Open Source.

Quick question... How realistic is it to get a DBA/legal name change to something more keyword-heavy without Google suspending the profile, and would that move the needle more than grinding out another 50-100 reviews? (I'm already posting job photos weekly, responding to every review with city + service keywords, and have consistent citations, but still fighting uphill.)

one of the best interview questions you can ask an SEO agency is to explain black hat SEO to you not because you want them doing it to your website but because the ones who truly understand the algorithm can explain exactly how it gets manipulated if they look at you with a blank stare or get uncomfortable, that tells you something it tells you they learned SEO from a youtube video and a blog post and have never actually gone deep on how the machine works the best SEOs i know understand black hat tactics in detail they know how people build private blog networks, how they manipulate review counts, how they use exact match everything to game relevance, how they build spammy links at scale they know all of it and because they know all of it, they understand the algorithm at a level that someone who only plays by the book never will you want someone who has gone down every rabbit hole, tested things they probably shouldn't have, broken a few things along the way, and came out the other side with a complete picture of how google actually works then you want them implementing everything completely clean on your business this is true in every marketing channel by the way the best google ads people understand the behind it fraud inside and out the best meta ads people understand how accounts get banned and why mastery of any channel requires understanding the dark parts of it. dont get me wrong, i am not advocating your agency does anything illegal / immoral you just want someone who knows not only what the rules are but also why they exist cookie cutter agencies are dangerous because they are just repeating what someone else told them you want someone who figured it out themselves, and then implements all the good on your assets

@therobertbrooks Keep killing it, brother.

2024 - $1.85M 2025 - $2.4M *acquisition in June 2026 Goal $3.5M 2026 YTD $850k March is supposed to be our slowest month but we will probably beat Feb revenue and Feb beat last July 🤷 With seasonality in mind, that puts us at a run rate of $5.4M for 2026. Still early innings.

@nick_white @bradmillscan Some guy tried to sell me some open claw service. they promised to automate the "back office". Complete waste of time.

OpenClaw is a distraction targeting people with less technical depth. The same folks that are often susceptible to 'shiny new tool syndrome' and 'hive mind' mentality. You are sold the idea of “10 agents run my whole company on autopilot”. In reality, its nothing more than an painful exercise in API orchestration. What will actually end up happening is you will waste many hours debugging OAuth, rate limits, and configs instead of just shipping real work.

How in the hell are these accounts claiming to run entire companies w/ OpenClaw. I just spent 1.5 HRS trying to get my claw to use X API for reading tweets. FAIL We have a whole SOP documenting exactly how to do it from previous failures. I can’t imagine running 10 of these…
