Handled — AI CRM for appliance repair

The AI CRM that runs your service business while you fix things.

A call comes in while your hands are in a washer. The part you need is not on the van. The paperwork waits until night. Handled was built for that day — by a repairman, for repairmen. Max, the AI agent inside it, takes the calls, runs the schedule, keeps the van stock, finds the part and writes the invoice. You just repair.

Free pilot for the first ~10 companies, ~2 weeks. Price TBA.

Handled is an AI CRM built for appliance repair. Max, the AI agent inside it, takes orders, runs the schedule, keeps the van stock, finds parts and diagnoses from real manuals — and the technician just repairs.

Everything Max does for you

Eight things that make Handled different. Each one is built into the same app, run by the same agent.

Max has its own knowledge — it doesn't search the web

Most AI answers a question by searching the internet and stitching together what it finds. Max does not. It works from its own knowledge bases, built on real service manuals — 386 diagnostic cards, with the exact numbers a diagnosis turns on. And it keeps learning: the knowledge bases grow as more manuals and diagnostic cases are added.

Every diagnostics answer carries a label — confirmed, from a manual with exact numbers and a source, or unconfirmed, an idea to verify by measurement. So you know what is a fact and what is a guess, on every answer.

How Max works

Three steps, on every job. No new workflow to learn — Max fits the way a technician already works.

  1. You speak or photograph

    Say what you need, or photograph a part, a nameplate or a model number. Hands busy, driving, under a sink — it still works.

  2. Max does it

    Max books the job, updates the schedule, writes the invoice, checks the van stock, searches for the part or looks up the manual.

  3. You approve

    Nothing is ordered, sent or charged without you. Orders are drafts for your confirmation; invoices go out when you say so.

Who Handled is for

Handled is built for appliance repair — the trade it was made in. The parts inventory, the CRM and Max all grew out of real repair work. Other trades — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning — come next, as Handled grows. Right now, if you repair appliances, this is your CRM.

If you are the technician, the dispatcher, the bookkeeper and the person who answers the phone, Handled is made for you. Max takes the office work; you take the repair.

Why Handled

Three things no competitor was found to offer, checked 2026-11-11:

  • Voice control of the whole app — not voice for one feature, but speak-and-the-app-does-it on any tab.
  • Diagnostics from real service manuals, with every answer marked confirmed or unconfirmed — Max works from its own knowledge bases, not a web search, and keeps learning.
  • A client card that grows itself — from a photographed model number and from recorded calls, with no manual entry.
