Where you spend your time

Your time is money

We know how your week actually goes

Most landscaping companies are not short on demand; they are short on hours between the phone and the truck. Quote requests, site visits, mowing routes, weather calls, materials orders, and seasonal contracts all compete for the same morning.

Actionist builds AI agents for Landscaping that handle your digital work, so your team can focus on the property and the season ahead.

What matters to you

Speed to quote
The first company to reply usually books the site visit.
Routes that hold up
A tight mowing route beats a rebuilt one every morning.
Weather that doesn't wreck the week
A rain call handled by 7am keeps the whole route on track.
Contracts that renew
A seasonal client who feels looked after signs again next year.
Proof that sells the next job
Before and after photos close more work than a pitch does.
Built around your team
These are examples. Build a custom agent for any job you repeat.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Landscaping team's day.

Triggers and Reactions

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

WhenA quote request comes infires within about a minute

The agent automatically

The moment a website form, phone transcript, or walk-up request arrives, the agent reads it within about a minute, checks the property against your service area, checks the estimator's calendar, drafts a warm reply offering two site-visit slots, and logs the lead to your CRM. Every message waits for your one-pass approval before it reaches the client, so the fastest company stops winning by default.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An AI agent works in your real systems, quote inboxes, client contracts, and payment records, so staying in control matters. Actionist is built to be supervised: you decide how much each agent does on its own, you approve what reaches a client, and every step is recorded for you to check.

You set the supervision

Choose how much each agent does on its own, from drafting for your approval to handling trusted routine work. Anything destructive, like cancelling a job or a refund, always asks first, and that cannot be turned off.

Approve from your phone

Agents can reach you over Telegram or Slack, so you approve a reply or a reschedule with one tap, whether you're in the office or out on a route.

Every run is logged

Each run is recorded step by step, with screenshots and a full transcript, so you can see exactly what the agent read and did.

Your data stays yours

Credentials are encrypted in a vault and never shown again, memory stays on your own machine, and you can self-host Actionist on your own server.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will it actually answer a quote request fast enough, and will it sound like us, not a robot?

Yes, and speed is the whole point. The agent watches the inbox, form, and phone transcripts your quote requests land in and picks up a new one within about a minute, whatever the hour. It reads the request, matches the property to your service area, drafts a warm first reply with two site-visit slots, and logs the lead to your CRM. You teach it your tone and your qualifying questions once, and until you trust it every reply waits for your approval. A request answered in minutes instead of hours is often the difference between a booked visit and a caller who rings the next company down the road.

We run everything through Jobber and it barely has a real API, will this actually work with that?

It works with Jobber, ServiceM8, or whatever field-service tool you're already on, because Actionist doesn't need an API. It operates the screen the way a person does, reading what's there, clicking, and typing, so it works with your scheduling board, your job cards, and your client list exactly as they are today. If your team uses it through a browser or a desktop app, an agent can too. Computer use runs on the desktop app, so it reaches the tools no integration ever would.

Will it text a client or send a proposal without me seeing it first?

Not unless you tell it to. Every agent runs under an Approval Mode you choose, from drafting everything for your one-tap approval to handling routine, low-risk work on its own once you trust it. Anything destructive, cancelling a job, issuing a refund, or sending a client-facing message on full auto, always asks first, and that setting can't be turned off. You can approve straight from Telegram or Slack, so a reply waits for you even when you're out on a route.

Quote requests come in nights and weekends when nobody's watching the inbox, does it cover that?

On the desktop app, an agent runs while your computer is on and the app is open, which covers most of the working day. For genuine after-hours and weekend coverage, unattended, without a machine left running, Actionist offers a hosted cloud runtime on a paid plan, so a Saturday quote request or a Sunday-night review still gets a same-minute first response instead of waiting until Monday morning.

Is this going to replace my office staff or my estimators?

No. It takes over the repetitive admin, the typing, the chasing, the re-entering data across three tools, so your people spend their time on what actually needs a person: reading a property, designing a job, and talking to a client face to face. The agent drafts, your team decides. Landscaping businesses that use Actionist well still grow their headcount, they just stop hiring purely to keep up with paperwork.

Can I build an agent for the way we specifically run routes and crews, not just the examples here?

Yes, and that's most of the point. The teams, apps, and jobs on this page are real examples of AI agents for landscaping companies, not the limit of what Actionist can do. You can build a custom agent for any job you repeat, your specific route logic, your own supplier ordering process, or a report format unique to your business, by briefing it the way you'd brief a new hire, in plain English, with your own tools connected.

Our client property details and signed contracts, where does that data actually go?

It stays yours. Login credentials are encrypted in a vault and never shown again once saved, an agent's working memory lives on your own machine rather than a shared cloud model, and your data is never used to train a general model. Every run is logged step by step with screenshots and a full transcript, so you can see exactly what an agent read and did with a client's information. If you want full control, Actionist can be self-hosted on your own server.

None of us are technical, how fast can we actually get this running?

You don't need to write a line of code. You connect the apps you already use with a guided, one-minute setup per app, then brief your first agent in plain English the way you'd brief a new office hire, what it should do, what it should ask about first, and what to leave alone. Most landscaping teams have a first working agent, often answering quote requests or chasing reviews, running the same day they sign up.

What does this actually cost, and is it worth it for a company our size?

Pricing scales with how many agents you run and whether you add the hosted cloud runtime for after-hours coverage, so there's no single number that fits every crew size. The way to think about value is hours back and jobs saved: a small landscaping team can lose a full workday a week to inbox triage, route rebuilding, and invoice chasing alone. Book a free demo and we'll walk through what a realistic setup looks like, and what it should save your specific team, before you commit to anything.
