Walks the property. Brings the project home.
The operator opens the tool, picks a customer (or creates one), and starts the walk. Voice transcribes locally. Photos attach to the captures they describe. GPS pins the moment. Every capture fires a parallel cohort of specialist agents — measurements, materials, plant identification, flag items — and they file silently into their own tool tables while the walk keeps moving.
At wrap, the Walk Director composes a Customer Overview from everything that landed. The operator reviews it inline, edits in place, then renders a customer-facing PDF. The unfiltered audit version stays available for operator review. Built for the residential design-build shop — voice-honest, seam-visible, operator-reviewed before anything goes to the customer.
Most takeoff tools assume an estimator at a desk. Project Intake assumes the operator is at the property, talking, taking pictures, looking at plants — and the tool is doing the silent sorting in the background while they keep walking.
Four positions. One walk. One brief.
The walk fires captures. The specialist cohort reads them in parallel. The Walk Director composes at wrap. The operator reviews before anything renders. Each position does one job and hands off cleanly.
The Capture Orchestrator
— Listens while the operator walks. Pins what matters.
Voice transcribes locally. Photos attach to the moment they were taken. GPS pins the location. The operator keeps walking; the tool keeps capturing. No interruption to the walk.
The Parallel Cohort
— Four agents. One capture. Each reads what they're trained for.
Each capture fires a parallel cohort: a measurements specialist, a materials specialist, a plant identification specialist, and a flag-items specialist. They write into their own tool tables and surface live during the walk.
Materials · hardscape, edging, decorative
Plants · catalog-grounded identification + sourcing
Flag items · operator-noted concerns + follow-ups
The Walk Director
— Composes the brief from everything that landed.
Reads across all specialist tool tables at wrap. Composes a Customer Overview that reads as one document — not a stack of agent outputs. Stuck-pending captures get surfaced before synthesis runs; the operator can retry or move on.
The Two PDFs
— Customer-facing overview. Operator audit. Both real, both required.
After operator review and edits, two PDFs render from the same substrate. The Customer Overview is what the customer reads. The Audit Summary shows the operator everything underneath — what was captured, what was synthesized, what was edited out. The seams stay visible to the operator.
The four reads on the walk.
Project Intake assumes the operator is at the property. That assumption shapes every other choice.
A walk-time capture tool with a parallel specialist cohort and a Walk Director that composes a Customer Overview at wrap. Renders to two PDFs: customer-facing overview and operator audit summary.
Browser-fired dispatch (V1; server-side migration is V2). Each capture fans out to four specialist agents in parallel. The director-fabric primitive routes the dispatch and watches for stuck work. Wrap-time guardrails surface stuck-pending captures before synthesis runs.
For the residential design-build shop where the operator walks the property and the customer expects a brief that reads cleanly. First install: a residential design-build operator walking real jobs. Productized for the residential band.
Most takeoff tools assume an estimator at a desk. The walk is where the project actually exists. Capturing it as the operator walks — voice, photo, GPS, all together — produces a brief that reads like the operator wrote it, because they did.
“Walks the property. Brings the project home.
Hears the walk. Reads the photos. Pins the place.
Hands the operator a brief — not a stack of agent outputs.”
