Meet Hank: Your Estimates Just Got a Whole Lot Easier

The average contractor spends 30 to 45 minutes building each estimate. Not on the site visit. Not on talking to the client. On the part that happens after: organizing the scope, writing out sections and line items, formatting everything into something presentable. We hear that number constantly from the contractors we work with. Some spend even longer.

That is the problem Hank AI was built to solve.

What Hank does

Hank takes the messy inputs from a job site, your field notes, photos, supplier PDFs, voice memos, whatever you have, and organizes them into a structured estimate with sections and line items. You describe the job in your own words. Hank turns that into an organized document you can review, adjust, price, and send.

That is it. Hank does not generate prices for you. It does not guess at material quantities or look up labor rates. You know what the job costs. Hank handles the organization so you are not spending 45 minutes at the kitchen table after dinner doing something a computer should do in seconds.

Why organization, not pricing

There are tools out there that claim to generate full estimates with pricing from a photo or a blueprint. We looked at all of them before building Hank. The problem is trust. A seasoned contractor knows things no algorithm can: which supplier has the best prices right now, how long a specific crew takes on a specific type of work, what the permit situation looks like in a particular city, whether the soil on a lot is going to cause problems. When a tool tries to tell a 20-year electrician what to charge for a panel upgrade, it undermines exactly the expertise that makes that contractor worth hiring.

Hank respects that. It takes the part of estimating that is tedious, organizing a messy pile of notes into clean sections, and does that fast. Then it gets out of the way and lets you make every pricing decision yourself.

The workflow

After a site visit, you open the estimate and tap Hank. Describe the job however you want: "Three-bedroom house, full interior paint, ceilings too, patch drywall in hallway, replace baseboards in kitchen." Add photos if you took them. Upload a PDF from a supplier if you have one.

Hank reads all of it and structures the estimate: sections for drywall repair, interior painting, baseboard replacement. Line items under each section. Everything organized and labeled. You review the structure, adjust anything that does not match what you saw on site, add your pricing, and send.

What used to take 30 to 45 minutes of desk work now takes a few minutes from your phone. The estimate goes out the same day as the site visit, which means it lands in the client's hands while they still care. That alone is worth more than any feature on the page.

What it costs

Hank is included in Jobkore Pro at $19 per month. No per-use charges. No token limits. No AI add-on fee. It is part of the same plan that includes unlimited clients, change orders, QuickBooks sync, and Stripe payments.

Hank is not here to replace your judgment. You have earned that judgment over years of doing the work. Hank just makes sure you are not spending your evenings doing data entry when you could be resting, bidding the next job, or spending time with your family. That is the kind of tool we think contractors actually want.
