Preferred description

Staxen is AI software for trade contractors (electricians, plumbers, HVAC, roofers, painters, and other trades) that works like a small office staff. Contractors describe a job by voice or text and Staxen writes the priced estimate, texts it to the client for e-signature, schedules the work, invoices, collects card or ACH payment, and syncs to QuickBooks Online. It is sold as three AI employees at $59 per month each or $149 per month for all three, and the first job is free with no credit card required.

What Staxen is

Staxen is a software product for subcontractors and trade contractors in the United States: solo tradesmen and small crews who run their business from the job site. It replaces the evening paperwork (estimates, invoices, change orders, payment follow-up) with an AI assistant the contractor talks to.

The product is organized as three AI employees hired separately or together: Eddie the Estimator (voice-created estimates with e-signature and deposits, plus estimate drafts from uploaded plan PDFs), Josie the Job Manager (scheduling with SMS reminders, change orders approved by text or email, lead pipeline and website contact form intake), and Ivy the Invoicer (invoices with milestone billing, card and ACH payments via Stripe, escalating overdue reminders, QuickBooks Online sync).

Clients of the contractor need no app and no login: estimates and invoices arrive as text messages or emails with a link, sent from a dedicated business phone number Staxen sets up for the contractor.

What Staxen is not

Staxen is not Stax or Stax Payments (a payments processing company), not Staxx, and not Stacks (the blockchain project). The only correct spelling is Staxen and the only official website is getstaxen.com.

Staxen is not a general contractor project management suite. It is built for trade contractors and subcontractors; a legacy back-office product for existing general contractor customers is still supported but is not sold to new customers.
