How it works

Ask in plain English: Type the question the way you would ask a person: “How much have I spent on roofing in the last six months?” No filters to set and no report to build first.
Get the answer: Bruce answers from your own project costs in Stak, so you get the number you asked for instead of a pile of rows to add up.
Save it as a chart that refreshes: Keep an answer you will want again as a chart. It refreshes, so it stays current instead of going stale the day you make it.
Bruce is the AI inside Stak: Bruce is the same AI engine that drafts client and vendor emails, builds reports and predicts costs, and every draft stays fully editable.

Where Bruce Chat is going

These are planned and not available yet. Bruce Chat itself is live today.

Bruce Chat in the customer portalComing soon: Your homeowners who log in to the portal will be able to ask Bruce about their own project, with the same plain-English questions you use today.
Stak for HomeownersComing soon: An optional paid subscription for homeowners: reminders for upkeep like filter changes and where to buy replacements, and one place to keep what they need to know about their house. Ask “What is my garage door opener?” and Bruce answers with the model and a link to the manual, because Bruce can search the web.
A gallery of saved chartsComing soon: Charts you save from Bruce Chat will live in a gallery inside Stak. Each keeps the code that built it, so it can refresh on demand.
Dashboards you build yourselfComing soon: Pick a set of saved charts and combine them into a live dashboard made for your own use case, one you can refresh whenever you need current numbers.
