In theory the cost of hiring a tradie, should decrease exponentially with AI agents. They can do all the mundane tasks to offer a better service. Although, if we stay on a fiat standard — I expect this to have the opposite effect.

tradies, by their nature, will be very slow to embrace AI. I consult to major construction companies and many of them have banner their staff from using AI for work purposes. when it comes to your average 1-man-band sparky hes not going to have time to learn about AI. and it's not going to be of much use to him until he can have an AI robot to run wires and be a go-fer

Sure, I was thinking about the admin side. I agree they would need a service that would manage this, because they’re not going to take the time, most are far too busy. It would be cool to offer an option using open source software to help them. One version would be a Saas model, the other would give them the option to self host once they’re confident

usually its the wife that does the admin. I'll upset people here, but most tradies are thick as pig shit. great at what they do as a trade, but don't known the first thing about running a business. I offer commercial and contract advice/dispute services to the construction industry and the little guys never take up my offer. can't afford me, they say. wrong, you can't afford not to have me. i always make clients more money than a I cost, plus if you don't get sound advice you'll lose your business, probably your house, possibly your family. I started out on tools and driving trucks. your average working class man has very little interest in technology, and views it as just another way for "the man" yo monitor them.

if you wanted to do something like you suggest though, I'd say try and get several small guys onboard together that can share the cost. I see in WoS you can search for companies that accept BTC payments. start with them as they will be more open to tech. you'll still need to be a helluva salesman to get some shekels out of them 🤣
