AI agents and automations

AI agents for field service: one agent for each task you hate.

Parts and quotes, warranty calls, unpaid invoices, the phone, emailed work orders, timesheets, photo reports. Pick the task that eats your week and hand it to an agent that works inside your own field service system. Nothing goes out until a person approves it.

Short answer

What are AI agents for field service?

Software that does one repetitive back-office or field task end to end, such as answering a call and booking the job, turning an emailed work order into a job, chasing an unpaid invoice or checking photos before a job closes, inside your field service system. In Fieldproxy each agent works on your own records and rules, and a person approves anything that goes out.

One agent per task

The tasks buyers asked us to take off their plate

Each one came up on our sales calls this autumn. Here is what Fieldproxy does about it today, and where there is no dedicated agent, we say so.

Parts and quotes

Contractors who copy parts and prices from supplier portals onto quotes by hand. One said an agent for it “would be, like, changed my life.”

Quotes are built from your own price book with your markups and a margin floor. Supplier price files are imported, and later updates can be loaded from Claude or ChatGPT with every row shown before and after. A one-off part can be looked up online and added to the quote behind a confirm. Supplier invoices are read and matched to the PO and the job, with price differences flagged.

Honest note: No ready-made live link to named suppliers; it works from the files your suppliers already send.

Warranty

Repairs quoted to the customer when the unit was still under warranty, and warranty calls nobody wants to take.

Warranty and contract coverage dates sit on every asset and show before anyone quotes a repair. The Vision agent reads the serial off the nameplate into the asset. The Calling agent handles warranty inquiries, checks coverage and books the warranty visit, and incoming warranty claims are read and filed as jobs. A reminder before a warranty runs out is one plain-English request.

Honest note: There is no separate warranty agent: it is these agents working on your asset records.

Accounts receivable

Unpaid invoices chased by whoever remembers, if anyone does.

Autopilot works invoice collection in the background: each overdue invoice becomes a card with a reminder and a payment link, and you tap Do it or Not needed. Deposits can be collected before a job is scheduled. Ask the Command Center, Claude or ChatGPT for everything over 60 days and get the list from live data.

An AI receptionist that creates work orders

Missed calls after hours, and calls that never became a job.

The agent answers your existing number, recognises the caller, works out what they need by your rules, offers times that are actually free and books the job with the problem written up. Emergencies and anything you name go to a person by warm transfer or on-call routing. The summary lands on the customer record and in the Front Desk inbox.

Timesheets checked against GPS

Owners who want to “verify their timesheet by the GPS” without a person checking every line.

Technicians check in and out on the job with GPS from the Android and iOS app, offline too, so time on site is part of the job record. The Watcher agent flags only the lines that break your rules (hours over check-out time, off-site check-ins with no reason, overlapping jobs) and the rest can be approved in one go, with a confirm and Undo.

Email to work order

Work orders that arrive as PDFs and emails and get retyped into the system.

The Document intelligence agent turns incoming PDFs, POs and work order emails into jobs and line items: client, site, priority, due date, not-to-exceed amount and the client's PO number. It checks the PO against open jobs so the same request doesn't become two jobs, and anything missing waits in a needs-info status while Autopilot drafts the reply for a person to approve.

Photo reports

Photo reports checked by hand, page by page, and jobs closed with the wrong photos.

The Vision agent reads nameplates, serials, readings and labels into the record, checks each required photo before the job can close, and asks for a retake while the technician is still on site. On large photo inspection reports it flags only the problems, for an analyst to confirm. The Video agent fills a form from one narrated clip.

A knowledge base that keeps growing

What the senior technicians know, kept somewhere the next technician can find it.

The Knowledge agent answers technicians from your manuals, SOPs and each unit's service history, with the source shown, and says so when it doesn't know. Notes like “the roof hatch key is with security” are kept as field notes from job notes, by your rules, editable by the office, and shown before the next visit to that site.

You stay in charge

Approval before anything goes out

Every task runs in one of four modes, and you choose which, task by task. Changes come back as a card or a confirm step showing what will happen, and one click undoes them.

Runs on its own

Answering a call, reading a photo or a PDF, answering a question from your manuals, flagging a late job.

Runs within rules you set

Booking routine work into a free slot, approving timesheet lines inside your tolerance, saving field notes.

Waits for your OK

Anything sent to a customer, a reminder or a payment link, a schedule change, a price change, a reply asking a client for missing details.

Stays with a person

Emergencies and complaints, repair decisions, judging the quality of the work, anything you name.

More on this: how to control and undo what an AI agent does.

The night shift

The office shuts at six. Watch what still happens.

Every line in the log is something an agent did with nobody watching. No sound, nothing to turn on.

AI and humans, working together

AI takes the repetitive half: the calls, the triage, the data entry, the chasing, the month-end invoice run, the timesheets, the file that lands by email and has to become a job. People take the half that needs judgement and a pair of hands. Neither is doing the other's work, and the software is where they meet.

What you can ask it

Stop doing it by hand. Just ask.

Because the workflow is built yourway, the AI acts on your data, your rules, your process. The daily grind of covering a sick tech, chasing invoices, or pricing a part, done from one sentence. At scale, the same bar rebuilds the board across branches and reconciles a month of invoices. Here's the time it gives back.

FAQ

AI agents for field service, answered

What are AI agents for field service?
Software that does one repetitive back-office or field task end to end, such as answering a call and booking the job, turning an emailed work order into a job, chasing an unpaid invoice or checking photos before a job closes, inside your field service system. In Fieldproxy each agent works on your own records and rules, and a person approves anything that goes out.
Do the AI agents send anything without asking?
Not unless you choose that. Messages, reminders, payment links, schedule changes and price changes come to a person as a card or a confirm step first, and changes can be undone. You can switch a goal to automatic once you trust it, one task at a time.
Can I have one agent for the one task I hate most?
Yes. That is the easiest way to start: switch on the agent for the task that costs the most time, such as calls, emailed work orders, invoice chasing or timesheets, and add others later. For a step only your business has, a custom agent is scoped to that one job.
Do the agents sit on top of our current software?
No. Fieldproxy replaces your current field service software rather than layering agents on top of it, so the agents work on the same jobs, schedule, invoices and customer records your team uses. If you have agents of your own, they can work on Fieldproxy through the MCP server and the open API.
Is there an AI agent that checks timesheets against GPS?
Yes. Check-in and check-out on each job record GPS, and the Watcher agent flags only the timesheet lines that break your rules, so a supervisor reviews the exceptions instead of every line.
Can an AI receptionist create work orders?
Yes. Fieldproxy's calling agent answers your number, identifies the caller, books routine work into a free slot by your rules and writes the job with the problem described. Emergencies go to a person.
How long does it take to set up the agents?
Fieldproxy is live within a day, and agents are switched on where you want them as part of that setup or one at a time afterwards.

Also works from ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot in Teams

Fieldproxy's MCP server lets your team run the day and change the software itself from the AI assistant they already use, with a confirm step before anything changes.
