Most contractors are buried in paperwork, missed updates, and late-night follow-ups. You don’t need a tech team or complicated software—you need simple tools and techniques that save time, reduce stress, and give you control over your business.
That’s what Blue Collar AI delivers.
This session shows you how to use AI right from your phone or laptop—whether it’s writing a site report, summarizing a proposal, or delegating tasks that used to eat up your day. It’s not about coding.
