Straight answers

Top Builder AI, in plain answers.

Every question a serious operator asks before claiming one of the 25 founding seats: the six agents, the pricing, the guarantee, the safety rails, and the operator behind it. 23 questions, answers first, no accordions.

01Does Top Builder AI replace ServiceTitan?

No. It makes ServiceTitan more valuable. Top Builder AI plugs into the ServiceTitan you already run, never touches your front office, and runs the back office it was never built for: Money, Materials, People, and Paperwork. Nothing gets ripped out, your team keeps the scheduling board and CRM they already know, and your data is not moved.

02ServiceTitan already has AI agents. How is this different?

Ours win three ways. They are self-learning, while ServiceTitan's are frozen the day you buy them. They see the whole business, weighing margin, parts, and labor together, while ServiceTitan's are siloed in one module. And they are trained on your shop, not one generic model for everyone. Then we add four agents ServiceTitan has no answer for: Financial, Inventory, Workforce, and Documents.

03Will the AI change my numbers or hallucinate a figure?

It can't. Every dollar and hour is computed by deterministic, tested code. The AI only narrates and advises, and the learning layer is structurally blocked from touching a figure. The math stays exact, auditable, and isolated to your account. Only the wording and the judgment improve over time.

04Can the agents take actions on their own?

Only if you let them. Every agent ships advisory by default: it proposes, you approve. You can set each one to Off, Approve-first, or Auto, per agent, with full undo and an audit trail on every action. You see value in advisory mode before anything writes back to your systems.

05Is my data separate from other contractors?

Yes. Every tenant is isolated at the database level with row-level security, credentials are encrypted, and your data never trains another shop's agents. A rule your agents learn for your account stays in your account, never leaves it, and never benefits another contractor.

06What do the six agents actually do?

Two run your front line and beat ServiceTitan's native agents: Booking · 24/7 qualifies, slots, and values every inbound call, and Routing & Dispatch optimizes assignments by drive time, margin, parts, and overtime. Four run the back office ServiceTitan never automated: Financial projects cash and flags margin leakage, Inventory catches unbilled materials, Workforce forecasts overtime, and Documents files every inbound doc. Money, Materials, People, Paperwork.

07How does the self-learning work?

The agents learn from what you approve and what you edit. Three matching corrections become a candidate rule. The candidate must pass a safety check and a regression test, then you approve it, and it rolls out gradually with monitoring and rollback. Nothing changes behavior until a human signs off, and the learning layer can never touch a number.

08What does Top Builder AI cost?

The Back-Office Command Install is $8,000 one-time at the Founding-25 rate and returns to $15,000 once the 25 founding seats are filled. The monthly scales with the people who use the system: $500 per month for up to 25 people, $1,500 for 26 to 75 people, $3,000 for 76 to 125, from $6,000 for 126 to 250, and custom above 250.

09What does the $8,000 install include?

All six self-learning agents installed and tuned on your ServiceTitan and QuickBooks, the Command Center dashboard plus a mobile field app for your techs, per-account isolation, a direct line to the developer, and 30 days of free feature requests. The install runs in days, not months, and starts in advisory mode so you see value before anything writes back.

10What does the monthly cover, and why does it scale with my team?

The monthly covers hosting, the compute the agents run on, ongoing model and safety updates, and the nightly learning that keeps your agents improving. It scales with the number of people actually using the system, so a 10-person shop never subsidizes a 250-person firm. You only pay for the seats in use, and Founding-25 operators lock their founding rates for life.

11What is the guarantee?

Board-ready or it's free. If your first month of reports isn't something you'd hand to a partner or a lender, your install fee is refunded in full, and you keep everything the agents produced that month. That is the whole condition. The risk sits with the operator who installs it, not with your shop.

12What happens after the 25 founding seats are filled?

The install returns to $15,000, free feature requests become paid scope, and direct developer access leaves the standard package. Founding operators keep all three, locked, for as long as they stay: the $8,000 install rate, their founding price on every monthly tier, and the direct line to the developer.

13How fast is the install, and what do you need from me?

Days, not months. We need your ServiceTitan app credentials and your QuickBooks connection. We start in advisory mode so you see value before anything writes back, then flip on live data when you're comfortable. Credentials are encrypted and every account runs with row-level isolation from day one.

14What is the Founding-25 fit call?

A 30-minute call straight with the developer, including a real teardown of where your ServiceTitan is leaking booked work. No pitch and no obligation. It answers one question: whether your shop is a fit for one of the 25 founding seats. Pick a time and you get a Google Meet invite straight onto the developer's calendar.

15Who owns the data the agents work on?

You do. The agents run on the ServiceTitan and QuickBooks accounts you already own, so every customer record, job, and dollar stays in your systems. Nothing is migrated to a new platform. The rules your agents learn stay in your account, never leave it, and never train another contractor's agents.

16What happens if I cancel?

Your business keeps running exactly as it did, because nothing was moved. ServiceTitan and QuickBooks remain your systems of record, and the agents simply stop proposing. The monthly covers hosting, agent compute, updates, and the nightly learning, so it ends when you do. Founding operators keep their locked rates and founder benefits for as long as they stay.

17What systems does Top Builder AI support?

The platform is dynamic and adapts to the system your shop already runs. ServiceTitan is the flagship integration, the deepest one and the one whose AI agents we go head to head with. The same adapter layer covers Housecall Pro, Jobber, FieldEdge, Service Fusion, Workiz, JobNimbus, AccuLynx, Buildertrend, and Procore. The agents read your jobs, calls, parts, and paperwork from whichever platform runs your shop.

18Does Top Builder AI work with Buildertrend?

Yes. Buildertrend is one of the ten systems covered by the adapter layer. The agents read your jobs, calls, parts, and paperwork from the Buildertrend you already run and speak its language back to you. ServiceTitan is the flagship integration and Buildertrend rides the same rails. Book the fit call and we will map exactly what applies to your stack.

19Does Top Builder AI work with Procore?

Yes. Procore rides the same adapter layer as the other nine supported systems, with ServiceTitan as the flagship integration. Commercial contractors on Procore get the same six agents reading jobs, materials, and paperwork from the platform they already run. Start with the Founding-25 fit call and we will map what applies to your operation.

20Who is behind Top Builder AI?

Cory spent 7+ years as a Tesla Master Technician, with prior experience at SpaceX and Rivian, and also runs Salisbury Bookkeeping, a construction bookkeeping and fractional CFO firm.
