AI Operations Manager for painting contractors

Spend less time quoting and chasing. More time on the wall.

VERA prices walkthroughs by the square foot, gets colors and sheens approved before day one, keeps prep days and crews straight, chases the quotes that went quiet, and reminds past clients when their exterior is due - while you stay in complete control by approving every action.

Powering painters from a solo brush to multiple crews

Propose → approve → execute

Your paint shop runs on approval.

Three simple steps. Nothing happens automatically.

01 · Watch

VERA watches your business

It stays on top of walkthrough quotes, color approvals, prep and paint days, crew load, invoices, and your job photos across the software you already use.

QuotesColor sheetsCrewsCalendarInvoicesPhotos
02 · Prepare

VERA prepares the work

Square-foot pricing, color approval sheets, quote nudges, weather reshuffles, punch-list write-ups, and repaint outreach - all written before the trucks roll out.

ApproveEditDecline
Stop wearing every hat

Stop losing jobs between the walkthrough and the start date.

You didn't pick up a brush to spend your nights typing quotes and chasing color choices. VERA takes that off your plate.

Quotes that go quiet

A homeowner gets three painting bids. VERA tracks every open quote and drafts the nudge before yours is the one they forgot.

Color decisions that stall the crew

VERA notices when a color sheet is still unsigned days before the start date and drafts the reminder while there's still time to swap the crew.

Weather that wrecks the week

When rain lands on an exterior day, VERA proposes the reshuffle and drafts the notice to every homeowner it moves.

Square-foot pricing done twice

Stop rebuilding the same prep, primer, and two-coat math on every bid. VERA drafts it from your own rates in seconds.

Punch lists that delay the final check

VERA turns the walkthrough photos into a written touch-up list and drafts the final invoice behind it.

Past clients you never call back

Exteriors come due every few years. VERA remembers who you painted and when, and writes the check-in for you.

What VERA does for you

Everything a great office manager does - on your approval.

VERA proposes the work; you decide what happens. Here's what that means for a painting business.

01

Quote the walkthrough the same day

VERA drafts prep, primer, and finish coats from your square-foot rates while the walkthrough is still fresh, so you bid first instead of last.

02

Get colors signed before the crew shows up

Color and sheen sheets are written, sent, and chased for you, so nobody stands around at 7am waiting on a decision.

03

Protect the schedule from the weather

Rain on an exterior day means a proposed reshuffle and a drafted note to every homeowner it affects, ready for your okay.

04

Close out jobs cleanly

Walkthrough photos become a written punch list, and the final invoice follows it, so the last 5% doesn't drag for a month.

05

Make your finished work sell the next job

VERA drafts before-and-after posts, Google Business updates, and review replies from the photos your crew already takes.

06

Own the repaint cycle

Every exterior you finish becomes a future lead. VERA tracks the age of each job and writes the check-in when it comes due.

Ask in plain English

Tell VERA what you need, in your own words.

The kind of thing painting ask for every day. VERA drafts it and waits for your approval.

From the field

Built for how painting actually work.

Painting is a bidding business. Whoever gets back to the homeowner first usually wins. VERA has my quote follow-ups written before I've had coffee, and I approve them from the truck.

Owner, Residential Painting
The color sheets were always the bottleneck. Now VERA flags anything unsigned before the start date and drafts the reminder, so my crew isn't standing in a driveway waiting on a decision.

When rain hits, VERA proposes the whole reshuffle and writes the notice for every homeowner it moves. I read it, tap approve, and the week doesn't fall apart.

My guys take great photos and they used to die on a phone. VERA turns them into before-and-after posts and waits for my okay. The cabinet work finally gets seen.

Punch lists used to hold up the final check for weeks. VERA writes the touch-up list off the walkthrough photos and drafts the invoice right behind it.

I never used to call old customers. VERA knows which exteriors I painted five seasons ago and has the check-in written, with their original colors attached. I just approve it.

What credits get you

Real per-action costs from the product.

  • Draft a post, email, or reply3 credits
  • Create a full content calendar25 credits
  • Research your competitors25 credits
  • Analyze business data or a report20–50 credits
  • Run an approved automation5–25 credits
  • Heavy agent task (web + tools)50–150 credits

Your plan’s monthly credits work across all of these, mix and match drafts, research, and automations however you like.

How credits work

What uses credits?
AI work: drafting content, research, analysis, and running approved automations. Simple chats cost the least; heavy agent tasks cost more.
Do unused credits roll over?
Your monthly plan allowance resets each billing cycle. Credit packs you buy separately roll over and don't expire.
Can I buy more credits?
Yes, add credit packs anytime (from $10 for 500 credits), or turn on auto top-up so work never stalls.
What are the plan limits?
Each plan includes a set number of seats, connected integrations, and scheduled tasks (see each card). Approval and automation capabilities also step up by plan.
What does that look like in practice?
Using the per-action costs above, Growth's 2,500 monthly credits cover roughly 800 drafted posts, or 100 competitor research runs, or 100 full content calendars a month, mix and match however you work.
What do I get during the 7-day trial?
A limited pool of trial credits to explore VERA, enough to evaluate it, not the full paid allowance. Upgrade anytime and your selected plan's full monthly credits and features unlock immediately.
What happens when I run out of credits?
The next AI action pauses before it runs (nothing is half-charged) and VERA prompts you to buy a credit pack or upgrade your plan. Work already completed is unaffected, and your monthly credits refill at the start of the next billing cycle. Turn on auto top-up and VERA adds a pack automatically so nothing stalls.

Answers first

Frequently asked questions.

01Will VERA email my homeowners without permission?

No. VERA never sends a message, posts content, or charges a card on its own. Quote follow-ups, color sheets, and reminders are all drafted and held until you approve, edit, or decline them.

02Can it price a repaint by the square foot?

Yes. VERA builds the estimate from your own rates, breaking out prep, pressure wash, primer, and finish coats, and separating body, trim, and doors. It arrives as a draft for you to adjust.

03Can it chase color and sheen approvals?

That is one of the first things painters turn on. VERA writes the color sheet, tracks whether it has been signed, and drafts the reminder when a start date is getting close.

04What happens when rain kills an exterior day?

VERA proposes a reshuffle for the affected jobs and drafts a note to each homeowner being moved. Nothing goes out until you approve the new plan.

05Does it work with Jobber and CompanyCam?

Yes. VERA connects to Jobber, CompanyCam, QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Google Business Profile, Stripe, and the other tools painters already run on. You connect by signing in, no API keys.

06Can it turn my crew's job photos into posts?

Yes. VERA builds before-and-after posts from the photos already attached to a job, writes the caption, and queues it for your approval before anything is published.

07Can I review everything before it happens?

Always. VERA is approval-first by design: propose, approve, execute. Nothing external happens without your say-so, and every action is logged.

Ready when you are

Stop typing quotes after the crew goes home.
