For owner-run companies in the trades and field services, where the work happens on site and the office keeps up by hand.
Anvil
AI does the work. Your people set the rules and approve what goes out.
Knowledge
How your company does things, written down once: your codes, your prices, your rules, the judgment of your best people. The system applies them the same way every time.
Records
Every job, customer, call and document in one running record, drawn from the systems you already use. Anything in the business can be asked about and answered.
Daily work
AI does the work that fills your office’s day: the reports, the scheduling, the follow-up, the filing. Your people approve what goes out and handle what needs judgment.
One workflow on Anvil
A termite inspection, from the walkthrough to the filed report. Running at a California pest-control company since August 2026.
Spoken on site
Written to the report
Starting in the garage. North wall, subterranean termite tubes on the sill plate, about three feet of it.
Subterranean termites

Hall bath. Fungus damage in the subfloor at the tub, from a plumbing leak that looks active.

Back deck. The ledger looks soft but I couldn’t get under it to see.
Flagged for review
Deck ledger. Not enough to assign a finding.
Marked on the diagram

In production
A California pest-control company has filed its termite inspection reports through Anvil since August 2026, the first system Slate71 built on it. The office reviews each report in its own Salesforce and sends it, the way it always has.
All four of the company's inspectors use it every day. In September, 164 of 165 reports were filed the same day as the inspection. The office's own handling of a report went from 20 to 30 minutes to 5 to 7, by the office manager's count.
The day counts come from the company's own Salesforce history, 5,383 reports from January 2025 to the cutover. The seconds are measured by the system.
