# Staxen

> Staxen is AI construction software for subcontractors and trade contractors. It works like an AI employee: you talk to it, and it writes estimates, texts them to clients for e-signature, schedules the work, sends invoices, collects payments, and syncs everything to QuickBooks Online.

## Who it serves

Subcontractors and trade contractors: electricians, plumbers, HVAC, framers, drywall, concrete, roofing, landscaping, and painting crews. Built for owners who run the business from the job site, not an office.

## Features

- AI assistant with chat and push-to-talk voice dictation
- Voice-created estimates with e-signature and deposit collection
- Estimates and invoices texted to clients from a dedicated business number Staxen sets up (SMS portal links, no app or login for the client)
- Change orders with client approval by text or email
- Milestone billing
- Online payments on invoice portal links (card and ACH via Stripe)
- Overdue-invoice payment reminders that escalate, plus tracking of who has not paid
- Receipt capture by photo with OCR
- Scheduling and calendar with SMS appointment reminders
- Lead pipeline with website contact form intake (hosted form or embed)
- AI blueprint takeoff: reads plan PDFs and drafts estimates
- Gmail and Outlook / Microsoft 365 email integration
- QuickBooks Online sync: estimates and invoices push automatically on send, payment status pulls back

## Pricing
