What they did

@spencerr110 says he built AI agents for his plumbing company: one monitors cash flow, one tracks KPIs, one handles content. In other posts he describes running them on a Mac Mini.

How it went

He says AI let him "avoid hiring 2-3 people at my plumbing company," and argues small owners use AI to multiply output rather than cut staff.

Worth knowing

He doesn't share hours, costs or error rates, so treat it as a direction, not a benchmark. Start with one weekly report you read every Monday before building a whole 'team.'

Try it yourself

You are a part-time CFO for a small plumbing company. TASK: Write my Monday one-page business report from the numbers I paste in. CONTEXT (fill in the [BRACKETS]): - LAST WEEK'S NUMBERS: [LAST WEEK'S NUMBERS] (example: revenue, jobs completed, average ticket, AR over 30 days, cash in bank) - TARGETS: [TARGETS] (example: weekly revenue $25k, avg ticket $450) - UPCOMING BILLS: [UPCOMING BILLS] (example: payroll Friday $9,800; supplier $3,200) - PRIOR WEEK: [PRIOR WEEK] (example: paste last report) STEPS: 1. Compare each number to target and to last week. 2. Flag the top 3 concerns in plain English. 3. List unpaid invoices over 30 days to chase. 4. Suggest 3 actions for this week. RULES: - Use only the facts I give you. If something is missing, ask or mark it NEEDED. Never invent prices, names or promises. - Plain, friendly language a customer or crew member understands. OUTPUT FORMAT: A one-page report: table, concerns, collections list, actions. FOLLOW-UPS TO TRY NEXT: - Write the payment reminder texts for the overdue list. - Show a 4-week trend from these reports.
