AI brings you the jobs. SparkyBuddy runs the paperwork.

Get found and booked by AI

Customers are starting to ask ChatGPT, Google and other AI assistants to find a sparky. Your free public page gives them your services, area, hours, licence and prices in a form they can read, so they can recommend you and send a booking request.

• Your page at sparkybuddy.com.au/sparky/your-name, with Call and Text buttons
• Agent Ready Score shows what to fill in next
• Customers and AI assistants request a booking; nothing is booked until you accept
• Accept in one tap: the client, job and visit are set up, then text them to confirm

Autopilot

Every morning SparkyBuddy lines up the follow-ups you'd otherwise forget, written in your name and ready to go. One tap sends them.

• Quote follow-ups at 3 and 7 days
• Overdue invoice reminders with a pay link, until it's paid
• A reminder to the customer the day before every visit
• Smoke alarm, RCD and test-and-tag reminders when they come due
• A 7:30am email when there's something to send; nothing goes without your tap

• GST and totals worked out for you, to the cent
• Your terms and validity on every quote
• Turn an accepted quote into an invoice in one tap

• Invoices matched to the job automatically, with the PDF, total and GST
• Materials bought against the quote on every job
