TradeWaka — AI job management for tradies
Meet JACK

JACK does the admin. You run the business.

TradeWaka gives tradies their time back. JACK turns natural site talk and rough voice notes into organised, review-ready business admin — job details, quote drafts and scopes of work. JACK prepares. You review.

Talk → JACK listens → JACK builds → You review

No forms to fill in on site. Describe the job the way you'd say it out loud, and review a tidy draft when you're ready.

  1. Step 1

    Talk

    Walk the job and describe it the way you'd tell your apprentice.

  2. Step 2

    JACK listens

    Your voice note is transcribed and read in trade language.

  3. Step 3

    JACK builds

    Job details, quote draft and scope of work are prepared for you.

  4. Step 4

    You review

    You check the detail, adjust pricing and decide what gets sent.

What JACK picks up

  • Customer name, address and contact details
  • Job type, site conditions and measurements
  • Materials and quantities you call out
  • Labour, crew size and rough durations
  • Tasks, exclusions and follow-ups
  • Loose site notes you'd normally forget

What JACK prepares

  • Customer record — Contact details captured and linked to the job.
  • Organised job info — Job type, measurements and site notes in one place.
  • Quote draft — Line items for materials and labour, ready for your pricing.
  • Scope of work — Plain-English scope with inclusions and site notes.

Everything JACK produces is a draft. Nothing is priced, approved or sent until you say so.

When JACK earns his keep

On site

Talk through the job while you're standing in it, instead of writing it up later.

In the ute

Record the note before you drive off, while the detail is still fresh.

After an inspection

Hand JACK the rough note and get a tidy draft to review at smoko or at home.

How it fits the rest of TradeWaka

What JACK drafts doesn't sit on its own. The customer record, job details, quote and scope stay connected, so an approved quote becomes a job, a completed job becomes an invoice, and the customer can follow along in their portal — without you re-typing the same information.

JACK questions, answered

What is JACK?
JACK is TradeWaka's built-in AI assistant. You describe a job out loud — or type it — and JACK writes it up as organised job information, a quote draft and a scope of work for you to review.
How does it work?
You record a voice note or write a site note in TradeWaka. JACK transcribes it, reads it in trade language, and prepares drafts: customer details, job information, quote line items and a scope of work.
Does JACK send quotes or make decisions for me?
No. Everything JACK produces is a draft. Nothing is priced, approved or sent to a customer until you review it and choose to send it. JACK prepares, you review.
Can I use JACK on my phone?
Yes. TradeWaka runs in the browser on your phone, tablet and computer, so you can record a note on site and review the draft wherever you like. There's nothing to install.
Is JACK included on every plan?
Yes. JACK is included on every plan and is unlimited for all businesses during the TradeWaka beta. There are no separate per-use AI charges on top of your plan.
What happens when I reach my monthly allowance?
Your JACK allowance resets at the start of each monthly period. If you reach it before then, the rest of TradeWaka keeps working — jobs, quotes, invoices and the customer portal are unaffected. To keep using JACK straight away, move to a plan with a larger allowance.
Does JACK handle GST, deposits and variations?
JACK drafts the line items; TradeWaka does the rest. Quotes and invoices calculate GST at 10% on what you enter, you can invoice a deposit or a stage rather than the whole job, and extra work found on site is recorded against the job as a variation. Whether your business charges GST is a question for your accountant.
What if JACK gets something wrong?
Every draft is editable before it goes anywhere. If a measurement, material or price isn't right, you change it in TradeWaka like any other job record. If something looks off, contact support from inside the app and we'll take a look.

Stop doing paperwork after work.

Let JACK take care of the repetitive admin while TradeWaka keeps your jobs moving from enquiry to payment.
