JobBuddy Made in Canada
JODA — JobBuddy On-Demand Assistant

The AI Agent That Actually Knows Your Business

JODA isn't a chatbot bolted onto the side. It has full, authenticated access to every corner of JobBuddy — your jobs, team, documents, time entries, estimates, and product catalog. It reads. It writes. It runs automations while you sleep.

Full Data Access

Same permission-gated access as the UI. JODA sees exactly what you see — nothing more, nothing less.

Approval-Gated Writes

JODA never saves anything without your review. Every create or edit produces a draft card you approve first.

Runs Autonomously

Schedule JODA to run reports, check for issues, and send alerts — all without you lifting a finger.

Full Access. One Conversation.

JODA operates across every domain in JobBuddy simultaneously. A single question can span multiple data sources — it handles the orchestration.

Knows Your Data

JODA has authenticated, permission-gated access to every domain in JobBuddy — your items, jobs, team, time entries, documents, estimates, invoices, and product catalog. It is not searching the internet. It is searching your company.

Reads Any Document

Upload blueprints, specs, contracts, or PDFs. JODA extracts text, analyzes drawings visually, and performs construction takeoffs — square footage, material counts, fixture quantities — from the actual plans.

Creates With Approval

JODA can create work items, estimates, invoices, and automations — but nothing touches the database until you approve it. Every write operation produces a draft card you review first. Safe for bulk operations.

Runs When You're Not There

Set JODA to run on a schedule or trigger it on events. "Every Friday at 5pm, generate a project status report." "When any work order over $5,000 is completed, notify me." It runs the same toolchain as interactive chat — headlessly.

Semantic Search

Vector-powered retrieval across all your items, documents, and knowledge base. Ask "What does the contract say about fire ratings?" and JODA finds the right page in the right PDF — across thousands of project documents.

Remembers Your Preferences

JODA maintains persistent memory per user across conversations. "Prefers metric units." "Reports to Wayne." "Uses the hourly rate from the Johnson contract." It remembers — you don't re-explain.
