Why I Built a Discord Estimate Bot to Fill the Gap in My CRM

Welcome back to Blue Collar AI — the show about using AI, systems, and simple automations to make real trade and blue-collar businesses run smoother.In Episode 3, I talked about why I built my own automated review system instead of relying on the built-in feature inside my CRM.Today, I want to talk about one of the most useful automations I've built so far, a Discord estimate bot that helps me quickly price a job, create an internal material pick list, and keep all the detailed line items away from the customer-facing estimate.I'll mention Jobber because that's the CRM I use in my own business, but this episode isn't really about Jobber. The same gap exists in most field-service CRMs — Jobber, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, whatever you're running. The software is usually good, but it doesn't always work exactly the way we need it to.And estimating is a perfect example of that.
