A six-chapter story about the owner who stopped exporting to a spreadsheet and hoping — and started asking the business a question and getting the answer straight from their own numbers.
▶ The platform tour — playing now · tap for sound
How's the shop actually doing this month? What's outstanding? Who's driving the work? The numbers exist — they're trapped inside your jobs and quotes.
Fig. 01 — One platform: draw, quote, run the shop — and ask it anything.
Pull a CSV, reconcile, paste, repeat — for one number.
A formula, a filter, and fingers crossed you got it right.
The report is only as fresh as your last export.
And nobody else can answer a question without them.
The data lives in your system — but answering a question means dragging it out into a spreadsheet and hoping the math holds up.
The built-in AI turns plain English into a real query against your shop's database — and answers in seconds. No export. No pivot table. No analyst on retainer.

Congrats — you found a tool. This analyst is built into the same platform that draws, quotes, nests slabs, schedules crews, tracks inventory to the piece, runs the portal, and syncs to QuickBooks. One flat fee, unlimited seats — see pricing.
The same AI loads your pricing. Drop in a vendor sheet and it pulls colors, thicknesses, and prices into your price list — so your live pricing stays current without hand-typing a single row.
UI, integrations, performance, pricing ROI, sales features, support, onboarding, AI, the quoting engine, KPIs. Nothing to dislike — it's everything we've ever wanted.
SlabOS clearly understands how to strike the right balance between fabrication and software. My only gripe: I didn't discover it sooner.
This comparison is SlabOS's opinion of how its built-in AI assistant compares to working from manual spreadsheet exports — your own workflow and tools may differ. A dash (—) marks where SlabOS places its emphasis, not a claim about any specific competing product. The SlabOS AI assistant only queries your own data inside SlabOS; it has no internet access, and it does not provide financial, accounting, tax, or investment advice or replace a professional accountant. For decisions that depend on exact figures, confirm against your books.
We call it your shop's analyst because it answers like one — fast, from the numbers. But it's honest about its lane. Here's exactly where the line sits.
The assistant surfaces what's in your books — it doesn't give financial, accounting, tax, or investment advice. For decisions that hinge on exact figures, confirm against your books.
Type the question the way you'd ask a person — the AI answers from your jobs, quotes, accounts, revenue, and leads in seconds, not an afternoon.
It reads your live data inside SlabOS — never the internet, never another shop's — same platform one shop used to pull 20,000+ jobs off legacy software, drawings included.
The analyst answers your questions — the numbers, the back office. The portal answers your homeowner's. Same platform, the outside view. Every job ships with one, built in.
Fewer "where's my counter?" calls. The kind of experience that earns five stars on every job — and an edge legacy shops simply can't hand a homeowner.

Book a demo and we'll point the built-in AI at the questions that actually keep you up — pipeline, outstanding invoices, top accounts — against the kind of data your shop runs on. Watch it answer before you've finished typing.

No. It's a fast way to read your own business data and surface KPIs — it does not give financial, accounting, tax, or investment advice, and it doesn't replace your accountant. For decisions that hinge on exact figures, confirm against your books.
Yes. AI price-list import takes a vendor PDF, CSV, or Excel file and extracts colors, thicknesses, and prices into your price list — so your live pricing reflects the latest sheet without hand-typing every row.
A few-hundred-a-month tool does one slice of the job and stops there.

One system, one flat fee, unlimited seats. The fastest way to see it is to watch the 4½-minute tour.
