About ToolbeltAI

Amy Swayze is the founder of AI Creative Visions, where she teaches electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, landscapers and contractors how to use AI in their business to save time and money. She translates the hype into plain-English playbooks the trades can actually use on Monday morning, and she also builds SaaS apps for the trades that turn those same workflows (quoting, marketing, follow-ups, paperwork) into simple tools shops can run from the truck.

ToolbeltAI exists for one reason: working tradespeople deserve practical AI advice that doesn't sound like it was written by a guy in a turtleneck who's never wired a panel or sweated copper.

Why the trades can't sit this one out

AI isn't coming for the trades. It's already in them. The contractors winning bids faster, answering leads at 9 PM, and turning around quotes before their competition has finished lunch are using AI every day. They're shaving hours off paperwork, marketing, scheduling, and customer follow-up, the kind of after-dark work that used to eat up nights at the kitchen table and weekends in the truck cab.

If you're not using it yet, the gap is widening every week. A plumber using AI to draft estimates, write follow-up texts, and clean up job notes can run circles around a shop twice their size. The good news: you don't need to be technical, you don't need new software, and you don't need to change how you run jobs. You just need the right prompts and a few small workflows, which is exactly what this site is built to give you.
