In-house · Client zero
A trades holding company
Our own holding company is the first customer for everything we build, from an agent that screens businesses for sale to the tools our glazing and handyman crews run on.

Labs
Wrench Labs is an applied AI lab. We own trade businesses, build the software and AI they run on, and bring what works to yours.
The method
The same five steps in our companies and in yours. After hand over, we walk the next problem.
One problem, one number.
We sit with your team, ride along, and see how the work actually happens in your business. We ask about the problems, never about AI.
You getA map of every place time or money leaks
1–2 visitsWe put a number on each of your problems to build a priority scorecard, then line up your solutions in that order.
You getYour priority scorecard
1–2 weeksWe build your solutions into the tools you already use and automate the busywork, so your team gets hours back.
You getA working pilot in daily use
2–4 weeksAfter 30 days we measure again against the baseline. You grade the outputs. Then we keep it, fix it or kill it.
You getA before-and-after number
30 daysWe train your team, set up the dashboards to monitor everything going forward, and step back: weekly, then every other week, then monthly.
You getA system that runs without us

Aviation
Five disconnected tools, reconciled by hand. We built one platform for bookings, scheduling, dispatch, pilot flight logs, maintenance and excise tax reporting.
Lab testing
They'd outgrown off-the-shelf lab software. We sat with the engineers every week and built their own system for samples, test results and billing. Now we visit every other week.
On the bench
Every build gets a label and a one-page write-up with its number. Most experiments die, and we'll say which.
The baseline: the same numbers at every company, read from the books, the phones and the job software.
A website form that keeps the conversation going over text, and a text back to every missed call.
From site visit to recap to proposal. Calls and job photos go in, a priced proposal comes out, and a person approves it.
Get paid faster: payment reminders by text, and pay applications, notices and lien waivers tracked for commercial work.
Bid invites from the inbox become a bid log and a draft go or no-go call.
