The routine

Pick → Tell → Draft → Check → Send

The same five steps every time, from the van or the doorstep. No laptop, no blank page, no second shift at the kitchen table.

  1. 01Pick the jobOpen the app and choose what needs sorting — enquiry, quote, update, payment, review.
  2. 02Tell it the factsTalk the job through in Assess a Job, type the rough details, or use your phone’s own dictation.
  3. 03AI organises and draftsYou get a clear first draft in plain British English, in the tone you asked for.
  4. 04Check itRead every word. Make it friendlier, firmer or shorter until it sounds like your business.
  5. 05Use it or send itCopy it into your own text, WhatsApp or email and send it yourself.

  6. Nothing sends automatically.

    You supply the facts, check every draft and send it yourself from your own phone. The app never sends anything on your behalf.

Your facts

“Mrs Jones. Boiler service done. Valve needs replacing. Told her I’ll price it tomorrow.”

First draft

“Thanks for your time today. I’ve completed the boiler service and, as discussed, the valve will need replacing. I’ll work out the price and come back to you tomorrow.”

FriendlierFirmerShorter
You check itCopy & send

You can talk instead of typing. In Assess a Job you can record on site when you choose to — the audio is used only for that write-up and is not kept as a recording; the facts you check are what stay. For the other office jobs, type the details or use your phone’s own dictation where your keyboard supports it.

The difference

Not another system to feed.

Traditional trade software digitises the paperwork. Aino Bother is built to reduce the paperwork in the first place.

Accounting software already has its place. Aino Bother has a different job.

Use your accounting software for the books. Use Aino Bother to turn what happened on the job into the quote, invoice and customer messages that follow.

Do the job. Tell Aino Bother what happened. Get your evening back.

Other trade software gives you forms to fill in. Aino Bother is built to reduce the typing in the first place.

  1. Step 1

    Talk or type what happened

    On site, in the van, at the door. Rough words are fine — that is the point.

  2. Step 2

    Check the facts

    Aino Bother turns it into clear, structured facts. You read them and correct anything before they are used.

  3. Step 3

    Use the facts for the admin

    Quote, invoice, cash record, follow-up list and customer messages all come off those same checked facts.

  4. Step 4

    Send the quote as a link, keep the job photos

    Once you have checked a quote you can send it as a private link the customer can read on their phone and accept in their own name. Your before/after job photos stay private to you.

Tell it what happened. Check the facts. Use those facts for the quote, invoice and customer messages that follow — you stay in control of every one.

You can talk instead of typing. In Assess a Job you can record on site when you choose to — the audio is used only for that write-up and is not kept as a recording; the facts you check are what stay. For the other office jobs, type the details or use your phone’s own dictation where your keyboard supports it.

Every day

Five office jobs, sorted from your phone.

These are the same five cards you see when you open the app.

  • New enquiry

    Answer the enquiry properly while you are still on site.

  • Quote follow-up

    Nudge the quote without sounding like you are chasing.

  • Customer update

    Explain a delay before the customer has to ask.

  • Payment chase

    Ask for the money politely — or firmly when it is time.

  • Review request

    Ask the happy customer, instead of meaning to.

  • The same five, every day.

    Answered. Sent. Updated. Chased. Sorted — before you drive off.

Depth when you need it

5 office jobs you’ll probably use all the time. 12 more when you need them.

Inside Aino Bother

Two tools for the parts of the day that get forgotten.

Both are live in the app today, alongside the office-job drafting.

Assess a Job

Available now

Walk the job. Talk it through. Aino Bother writes it up and helps turn the facts you have checked into a quote.

  • A written-up visit you can read back later.
  • Your checked facts carried into the quote wording.
  • You decide method, quantities, price and terms.

Live today. Talk it through on site or type the facts — you check every fact before anything is written up.

Cash In & Out

Available now

Catch cash received and the small cash or personal expenses before they get forgotten.

Cash in

Record a cash deposit or part payment, prepare a thank-you acknowledgement, then a reminder to store the cash safely and follow your normal banking and record-keeping procedures.

Cash out

Note the small cash and personal spends on the spot. Then the habit: put the receipt in your Cash Spent Pot.

Live today. A note-keeping and wording habit only — keep your accounting software for the books.

Also live for members

The bit after the quote, kept in one place.

  • Quote → Invoice → Cash In

    Turn a saved quote into an invoice you can edit, then record the payment when it lands. You send it yourself — nothing goes out automatically.

  • Things to follow up

    A simple list built from your own saved quotes and unpaid invoices, so nothing sits forgotten. No chasing is done for you.

  • Customer & job history

    A read-back view of the records you have already saved for a customer or job — assessments, quotes, invoices and cash — grouped together.

Your own saved records, shown back to you. Nothing is chased or sent for you.

Human control

AI drafts. You stay in charge.

AI can help draft and organise. You still decide technical method, safety, compliance, quantities, final price, contractual terms and what actually gets sent.

Only what the message needs

Give the app only the details the message actually needs — no more. Drafting happens on our server using OpenAI. Message drafts from the everyday communication jobs are not kept as a history. Your account, membership and usage details are stored, and so are your optional business profile and — when you use the Job Visit, Quote or Cash In & Out tools — the records you approve, because those features need them. Enter only what the task needs.

Before anything leaves your phone

FACTS before SEND

  • Is every name, date, amount and job detail correct?
  • Has the draft created a promise you did not intend?
  • Does it sound like your business?
  • Is there personal or unnecessary information in it?
  • Would you be comfortable reading it aloud to the customer?

Educational and administrative support only. Not legal, tax, accounting, employment, health and safety, technical, engineering or regulatory advice.

Straight about it

What Aino Bother is — and isn't.

Aino Bother is the admin helper in your van, not your accountant, tax adviser, engineer or compliance officer. Use your accounting software for the books and specialist advice where you need it. Use Aino Bother to turn what happened on the job into the practical admin that follows.

What it is

  • The admin helper in your van: talk or type the facts, then use them for the quote, invoice, cash record and customer messages.
  • Your own saved records, shown back to you — assessments, quotes, invoices, cash and a follow-up list.
  • Plain British English drafts you check, edit and send yourself.

What it isn't

  • Not your accountant, tax adviser, engineer or compliance officer, and not a substitute for specialist advice.
  • Not an accounting, bookkeeping, CRM, job-management or scheduling system — keep using your accounting software for the books.
  • Not an autopilot: nothing is sent, chased or filed for you.

Nothing sends automatically. You check every draft.

You supply the facts, check every draft and send it yourself from your own phone. The app never sends anything on your behalf.
