• Get started faster: pick the work you want off your plate first (writing quotes, chasing payments, scheduling jobs or client communication) and Staxen opens right to it. • New invoice: describe the job or tap one that's ready to bill, and Ivy writes the invoice for you to check and send. • Send by text: text an estimate or invoice from your own phone, or start a group text where Staxen sends it and answers your client's questions. • Clients is now your full client list: who owes you, their last job and next visit, and one tap to text, call or email them. • Today: one list of everything that needs you, from follow-ups and drafts to jobs and money owed. • Reviews: connect your Google Business Profile and see your rating in the app. • AI Memory in Settings shows what your AI employees know about your business, and you can edit it. • Connect Google Calendar right from the app to see your jobs there. • Photos are grouped by job, and plan uploads are faster and more reliable. • Fixes and polish throughout.

A faster way to get started. Pick your line of work, meet Eddie, Josie and Ivy, then sign up with just your phone number and a code we text you. Already have an account? You can now sign in with your phone too.

One button to start an estimate. Eddie's home is now a single New estimate button. Tap it and pick what you're working from: photos, plans, a scope sheet, or just describe the job. Set your pricing once. On a new account, Eddie asks five quick questions about how you price before the first estimate, then prices every job your way. See it and fix it. The estimate previews on screen as Eddie builds it. Tap any line to edit it. Will this job make money? A profit check shows what you keep on the job before you send it. Better plan takeoffs. Pick the sheets you want from one upload, set the scale for each view, and get labor figured from the measured work. Your own price book now prices takeoffs too. Combine drafts. Two drafts for the same job (one per floor, say) can be merged into one estimate. Nothing lost. Takeoffs and imports keep their place when you close the app, and a message cut off by a dropped connection picks back up when you reopen. A new welcome. New accounts start with a short walkthrough of what Eddie, Josie and Ivy each do. Quicker signup. Sign up with Apple or Google first, then add your company name on the next screen. Jobs found by name. Say a saved job's name however it comes out and Staxen finds that job. If two names sound alike, it asks instead of starting a second job. No guessed prices. Give an amount without saying hundreds or thousands and Eddie asks which you meant before pricing with it. Fixes: app updates are smaller and install faster, a paid account is no longer stopped at the plan screen, and a wrong password now points you to the Apple and Google buttons.

A new home for each employee. Eddie, Josie and Ivy now open on your work: estimates, jobs and invoices with where each one stands (not sent, opened, signed, paid), plus one-tap shortcuts to take photos, upload plans, paste a scope or copy a past job. Approve the job before Eddie builds it. Eddie shows a quick review card with the job and who it's for. Say go and the full estimate opens on screen, with his guesses highlighted so you can pick an option or type your own. Real Home Depot swaps. Store-priced lines show real Home Depot options you can swap in with one tap. Parts and labor stay linked. Each job keeps its parts and labor together through every edit, and you choose per estimate whether the client sees the split or one line per job. Pricing you can check. Eddie puts your own prices first, shows how each line is built up, and says where every number came from. Confirm, send, recap. One tap to confirm, a send screen where you choose how it goes out, and a recap where you tell Eddie how the price landed. Teach Eddie how you quote. Show him an estimate you've already sent and he learns from how you price and lay out a job. Turn a written scope into an estimate. Upload or send a scope of work and Eddie builds the estimate straight from it, no takeoff needed. One upload button for everything. Plans, estimates, invoices, job lists and schedules all go through the same picker, and Staxen files each one where it belongs. Better plan takeoffs. Quantities written on a scope letter or spec sheet now count, even when the page has no drawing scale. A simpler setup checklist. Fixes: estimates and the chat box stay on screen when the keyboard is open, and a dropped connection no longer creates a duplicate job, estimate or appointment. Staxen now asks once whether it can see which ad brought you here. Your answer doesn't change anything in the app.

Faster first launch. The app finishes updating before it opens, on a screen that tells you what it is doing instead of a blank splash. A clearer plan screen. Hire the whole crew or a single employee, with what you get listed on each card. Live retail material pricing. Estimates, the materials catalog and blueprint takeoffs now price against real shelf rates near the job. Simpler blueprint takeoff screens, with bigger controls on a phone. Onboarding fixes so every step fits on one screen.

Staxen 2.0 is a full rebuild around three AI employees you put to work in your trade business. Eddie writes and prices your estimates from a spoken description, and takes off materials from a set of plans. Josie keeps jobs, visits and change orders moving so you stop running the schedule out of your head. Ivy invoices the day the work wraps, attaches a payment link, chases what goes unpaid, and keeps QuickBooks in sync. ALSO NEW - A guided first run that learns your trade and your rates in a few minutes - Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial - Voice dictation throughout, with your words on screen as you speak - One notification feed, with a badge on the icon for what is waiting - A new app icon FIXED - The profit check no longer errors out when crew pay is still zero - Rate fields accept decimals - Setup no longer resets when you switch between assistants

Your notifications now show up on the app icon. The red badge on your home screen matches the unread count in your Notifications tab, and it clears when you catch up. Also in this update: A Notifications tab that collects everything that happens on your jobs: an estimate opened, a payment landed, a client wrote back. Staxen finds your Google Business Profile for you. Confirm it with one tap and every client who pays gets asked for a review automatically. Talk as long as you want. Dictation no longer cuts off mid-description. Bring your customers over from your phone contacts in a few taps. Fixes and speed improvements throughout.

Your AI employees can talk now. - Live voice conversations: tap the glowing orb, say what you need, and hear the answer spoken back as the words appear on screen. Pause and it sends. Tap to interrupt. - Each employee answers in their own voice. - Redesigned message bar: dictation now types into the text box so you can review and edit before sending. - Clearer, full-quality speaker audio. - Bug fixes and polish.

Tap to talk. The mic on your assistant dashboard now works one tap to start, one tap to send. No more holding a button. A full-screen live transcript shows exactly what Staxen is hearing as you speak, and a big yellow stop button glows at the bottom the whole time you're recording. Plus everything we shipped earlier in 1.0.5: • Guided first run. Staxen greets you, learns what eats your week, and walks a sample job end to end. Estimate, schedule, invoice, paid. • Import clients from your phone contacts. Pick who to add, Staxen fills in the rest. • Connect Gmail without leaving the app. • Smarter notification timing. Asked once, at the right moment, with a clear reason. • Faster voice dictation for long descriptions. • Bug fixes and polish throughout.

Your first five minutes just got a lot better. • New guided first run: Staxen greets you, learns what eats your week, and walks a sample job end to end. Estimate, schedule, invoice, paid. • Import clients from your phone contacts. Pick who to add, Staxen fills in the rest. • Connect Gmail without leaving the app. • Notifications now ask at the right moment, with a clear reason, instead of piling up at sign-in. • Faster, more reliable voice dictation for long descriptions. • Bug fixes and polish throughout.

We rebuilt the first-run experience and polished the assistant. - A guided walkthrough shows you how to create estimates by voice, file job photos to the right job, and ask Staxen about your business. - Talk or type to the assistant and watch your estimate fill in live on screen as you go. - A personalized greeting and smarter suggestions based on your account. - An in-app trial countdown so you always know how many days are left. - Faster performance and a number of bug fixes.

Bug fix: resolved a crash when signing in with Google on iOS. Sign-in flow is now stable.

This update makes the Staxen assistant faster and easier to work with: - Preview before you send: email an estimate to yourself first to see exactly what your client will receive. - Scan receipts hands-free: ask the assistant to log a receipt and it opens your camera right away. - Smoother voice mode: quicker responses, a clear spoken confirmation when something's sent, and you can interrupt and keep talking without losing your place. - Stability and performance improvements.
