Moving fast. Here is what landed recently.

WorkSlate ships monthly. Every feature below is live for the plans that include it.

Jun 19

Stop absorbing card fees

Optionally pass the processing cost to customers as a 3% card surcharge, on credit cards only and never on bank payments, with clear disclosure on every estimate, invoice, receipt, and the payment screen.

Jun 19

Card or bank, their choice

Checkout now asks customers to pick how they pay first. Bank (ACH) payments carry no processing fee and show live status, with a banner that stays until the payment settles.

Jun 16

Toll-free texting, opt-in built in

Per-business toll-free texting with double opt-in, a live capacity meter, photo (MMS) support, and prepaid SMS credit packs, so campaigns stay compliant and never run dry.

Jun 16

Email that comes from you

Customer messages now send under your business name and replies route to your own address, so every touchpoint looks like your brand, not ours.

May 30

Partial estimate approval

Customers approve only the line items they want. Totals, scheduling, and the final invoice automatically follow what was approved, with no manual rework on your end.

May 27

Automatic sales tax, done right

Real-time, jurisdiction-accurate sales tax powered by Stripe Tax, with per-line tax codes and per-jurisdiction breakdowns that stay consistent across every estimate, invoice, and PDF.

May 23

AI built into your day

A voice-enabled WorkSlate Assistant (Beta) and AI that finds the right catalog photos for you, for less typing and faster quotes, with optional credit packs to increase your AI usage when you need more.

May 14

Project-level invoicing & rollups

Group multiple jobs under a project and roll revenue and invoicing up to the project level for a true picture of large, multi-visit work.

Apr 28

Dashboards that fit the role

Tailored dashboards for owners, admins, and field techs, plus recurring-revenue analytics that turn your service agreements into a clear, forward-looking revenue picture.

AI built into every job

AI is included on every plan, not gated behind a premium tier. It feeds the SmartFlow workflow and the customer portal so the value compounds.

Voice-to-Notes

Techs tap the mic and describe the work. AI generates professional service notes in under 30 seconds that flow onto invoices and into the customer portal.

And AI works behind the scenes

Every plan. No setup. It just runs as you work.

Business insights

WorkSlate reads your completed jobs, line items, and assets and surfaces a short list of trends, recommendations, and alerts worth acting on.

Estimate follow-ups

AI writes a personalized nudge for estimates that have gone quiet, adjusting tone for how long it's been and what the customer has bought before.

Message drafting and polish

Draft a reply to any customer thread, or rewrite your own message to sound polished and professional, without leaving the conversation.

Asset history briefings

Before a visit, AI summarizes an asset's past work, declined recommendations, and recurring issues so the tech walks in informed.

Catalog photo finder

Adding a catalog item? AI finds the right product photo for you, so your catalog and quotes look sharp with less typing.

Invoice summaries

Turn a job's line items and notes into a plain-language summary customers actually read, right on the invoice.

Launch a promotion and AI writes the broadcast SMS copy, on-message and under the character limit, ready to send.
